crockpot jambalaya
Ingredients:
Place ingredients into Crockpot and cook on medium for two hours. If sausage is already fully cooked, wait and throw in with some chopped tomatoes after two hours. Also, only add a little chicken broth at first and add more as needed.
Cook one more hour.
Cook rice separately about 90% of the way though, and put into Crockpot for the last 5-10 minutes to absorb some flavor. Serve with crusty bread and bold red wine.

sense-ologist
If you ask me my dream job, I would be a sense-ologist.
What exactly does a sense-ologist do? They fully explore and enjoy the capacities of all the senses. Analogous to a human potential-oligist, a sense-ologist lives on the cutting edge, continuously pushing the boundaries of the possible and the pleasurable. Could this meal possibly taste any more incredible? Could this sunset look more magnificent? Could this music sound any cleaner? Could this love feel any deeper? Could my aromatics smell more delectable?
A sense-oligist is an explorer in the kaleidoscope of potential sense combinations, researching the optimum chemistry to a brilliant life.
Idealistic, indulgent, and perhaps even dangerous...yes. It’s probably not natural to want to “sense” that much— wear your heart on your sleeve like that— but I wouldn’t want to live life any other way.
