KATRINA KEBABS!

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 8 ounces
4 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon minced garlic
1 dash freshly ground white pepper

Prepare grill: Either preheat gas grill 10 minutes or light charcoal and allow to burn down to a gray ash on top.

Remove fat from chicken and cut diagonally into 1/2- by 2-inch strips. Slice thicker areas in half horizontally so strips are uniform in thickness. Cut sausage into 1-inch chunks.

In small saucepan, heat olive oil, chili powder, thyme, cayenne, garlic and white pepper over very low heat about 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Cool slightly.

Dip chicken and sausage pieces into spice mixture. Thread, alternating chicken and sausage, onto 12-inch bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water.

Grill over medium heat about 8 minutes, or until chicken is done and juices run clear.

6. For dessert, Im-Peach-Mint Sorbet

Melt a cup of sugar into a cup of boiling water, let simmer until the sugar is dissolved, then let cool. Put in blender with fresh peaches (skins removed by scalding, cut into chunks). Keep adding peaches until you have about 3-4 cups of liquid. Pour into mixing bowl and put into freezer. Periodically stir the bowl as ice starts to form (breaks up the crystals and makes the sorbet slushy rather than hard). If you do this several times as it's freezing, you don't need a special ice-cream maker.

If you want a minty taste -- add peppermint extract during the blender stage, OR add dried or fresh mint leaves during the boiling (and strain out).
