There is now a fix to view photos for Chrome and Firefox:

Good article Shuswap. All sausage hobbyists have grinders, so there is absolutely no reason for us to buy ground meat. And I also liked the advice that a burger is just that, it is not sausage and it is not meatloaf. And IMHO adding soy protein to it is also a travesty. :lol:

Please don't take this as one-upmanship, but we just returned from visiting Sister-in-Law's property in Colorado. A year and a half after the Black Forest fire, they are just now able to cut down ten acres of dead trees so they won't fall on anyone and kill 'em.
They hauled the logs off last...

ON This past Saturday Nancy and I passed the ownership of our sailboat to new stewards. With proper care she should last for another fifty years. So now I am land locked and not terribly thrilled about the prospect.

I can't roll that way. I was repairing marlinespike work an hour before they cast off.

This handsome fella has been hanging around my front yard for the past few weeks. You have to get about 4 feet from him before he leisurely walks away. Today he lightened the load on my trailer of yard waste by eating fruit tree leaves for a couple of hours.

He's turned into a nice looking buck. Looks very healthy. When will he go in rut?

I was born and lived in the UK until I was 27. Since 1989 I have lived in New Zealand (25 yrs). I hold dual citizenship and respect both countries.
Every so often the issue of the NZ flag comes up. Whether to retain or change the flag. From a personal point it does not matter to me. I see a flag...

As I mentioned the flag is not an issue to me, but it is very important to others. I did not know about the flag debate in Canada. The flag is a simple bold emblem. I wonder if it is because of the flag that I so strongly associate the maple leaf with Canada. Many people get confused between the...

In northern Alberta, beef, pork, moose, elk, deer, chicken, turkey, supplemented by mallard ducks and Canada geese make up our staple diet. Only the imagination controls what you can or are able to do with it!!!

For spices I use a lot of I order from TSM or Butcher& Packer in the larger more economical quantities.

Excellent quality and service.

It`s a year now since I attended a one day course on sausage making. It has been quite a journey encouraged by DW who also likes meat and by following the WD forum. I`ve now got my processing equipment, except perhaps a mixer. DW was tired of mining in the chest freezer because of my inventory of...

Crawfish Sausage - Worth Visiting New Orleans For
Hopefully you have visited New Orleans at least once in your life. It seems to be considered a right of passage for college kids at Mardi Gras time. During football season... well, we probably shouldn`t go there, this year. For the rest of us,...

Thanks. Looks like it's interchangeable with the salt pork or ham hocks that we've always used. It'll be fun to try, though.

If any of you are into cooking in cast iron pots/ovens here is a good article on seasoning them with flax seed oil.

I have to agree with Jeff. Lard works great to keep cast iron pans and griddles in great shape.
Also most of the cast iron pans in that article were vintage cast Iron... there is a big difference between them and the more modern pans like Lodge.
I have some old Griswold and Wagner pans that I can...
