Jambalaya, Tornadoes, and all things Spring!

I love the weather here in Texas.  Its been warm and humid and DELIGHTFUL!  But then BAM!  We're in a down poor and the Tornado sirens are going off.  (If you dont know what I mean heres a picture of what they look like...)

Apparently a funnel cloud touched down in North Dallas and that caused all the action.  BUT the best part I haven't even gotten to!  The best part was while all the action is going on I'm at Target getting some groceries!  I was getting ready to walk out of the store when one of the Team Leads stopped me and said he couldn't let me leave the store.  At first I thought he was accusing me of something so I got all defensive.  Then he realized what I was thinking and was all No No its because theres a tornado warning and they want everyone to stay inside until the warning passes.  So for 15 minutes we hung around the back of target in the furniture area.  Once it passed we all joyfully left to go our separate ways.  

This is where the story gets funny... The reason I was at Target was because I was getting things to make Jambalaya.  You want to know why I want to make jambalaya?  Because two weeks ago we were talking about kielbasa sausage and I purchased some but it was a special kind and couldn't use it like I normally would because it had special flavors.  So I was sitting at work today BORED OUT OF MY MIND and thought I should Google easy jambalaya recipes.  Well I'm not one for sticking to recipes but here is a link to the one I based mine off of.

I didn't use chicken, doubled the amount of sausage, didn't use salt, and made this Payne's favorite thing in the world to eat.  Seriously.  

Mom, If you're reading this, MAKE IT!  Totally worth the try.  (And I put the link on here and made sure it went to the right place!)

Here's a picture of the finished product.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
