I am allergic to eggs and oysters. My daughter has different allergies than
I do. I bought the sausage to make a casserole which I will never eat
either. However my husband and daughter will eat it. My husband is Italian
and loves Italian sausage. So I am making them for him.

I didn't buy the sausage just because it is cheap. That would be stupid! I
bought it because I wanted it for the casserole. I bought it at Costco
because it is far cheaper to buy their large package than to buy two smaller
packages at the regular grocery store.

You don't know what "gravy" is so you are obviously not an Italian American.
That is a very common term. I heard Buddy the "Cake Boss" say it on his
show just yesterday.

You can think I'm a nut case. I don't care. You don't want to know what I
think of you.
