Leftover Sausage Hash?

I love leftovers. I love the challenge of doing something interesting with leftovers I have on hand, trying to use interesting combinations of items from the fridge, cabinent and pantry.

Here is what I call at Sausage Hash. I'm not sure what a hash is (in cooking terms) but this feels like one.

The software were:
- Two leftover knockwurst links, sliced on the diagonal
- One green bell pepper, sliced thin
- One quarter of a large onion, sliced thin
- One tomato diced
- About 1 Tbsp of tomato paste
- About 1 C leftover grain (I used quinoa)

The hardware was:
- Straightsided saute pan

The method:
- Saute the onions and peppers in the pan on medium high heat until slightly browned - i wanted the flavor created from browning rather than a sweat which softens them but doesn't add color
- Remove from pan and put in the sausage, browning on both sides
- Add the chopped tomato and paste until the paste is incorporated and the tomato has lost some of its moisture
- Return the onions and peppers to the pan and stir together
- Add the leftover grain and mix together
- If too dry (as mine was), add some liquid (I used water) so that you have a little bit in the pan to bring it together
- Season along the way with coarse salt and ground pepper

Eggs Benedict

I had never made eggs benedict but thought it would make a special Christmas morning treat for Amy. She loves it!

I adapted the following recipe, and it worked out pretty well. The sauce is incredibly rich!

I omitted the asparagus to keep it simple. I also found that the canadian bacon can't handle staying warm in the oven (Jerky anyone!?).
