Jambalaya is on the stove and smelling extra good

[BarryBobPosthole]

It's what's for lunch at my home/office today. With both shrimp and sausage in it.

And a whole dang stick of butter.

Dang it! A skosh too salty. And that's my fault because I added a little Tony's to jazz it up a smidge. Man, since I've been cutting down on salt, its like I can taste it if the shaker gets near my food.

That sucks.

I hate salt.
And I can't get near Jambalaya unless I eat it in the bathroom and have my mail delivered there (unless it's Saturday).
