Thanks y'all.  I just put in the other three batches which had to cure overnight.

Soon I'll be doing a lacto bacteria ferment with these.  Just need to get my environmental chamber working.

Do the facemasks you sell have a sausage slot?  There might be a market opportunity.

Bet those would sell like hot cakes in some airports...

Pulled pork shepherds pie is now my favorite use of PP leftovers.  Super easy and SO good.

Just tried my hand at de boning a chicken.  I need some practice to get as good as Pepin.

Both candidates did a good job, and it was a pretty cordial event. My friend looked like he was missing a tooth on the bottom. I guess Congress' dental plan isn't what it used to be.

Great looking outcome and result.  I do not have enough time left on the planet to get within an order of magnitude of his skills.  I can manage the trussing but not nearly as fluid and elegant.

You must have a giant shower!  

When machining the holes did you get strain relief, or was it damaged during use?

Round 2 chamber snack sticks...this time , no starter culture , literally stuffed what I was making sausage with that day ( Calabrian ) and stuffed into 20 MM sheep casing casings ...7 days , a little different texture than with the culture ( sorry for the bad picture ) ...no heat, no smoke just dry naturally , I like how course grind look, but you could do this through a finer die....Part 3 if the trial going on now

My family was annoyed at my French accent during the process.  

I really do like the the outcome.  Slice with a knife like a roast or loaf.  . . Dark meat moisturizing the white meat as they are all in the same "compartment."
