It's been about 5 months since I've had time to make some sausages, life has been very busy with traveling and working. This past weekend I paged through Marianski's Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages and decided to try 2 recipes; Kabanosy and Polish Hot Smoked. Both were first time for m...

Thank you for the Christmas wishes Ursula.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone as well.

As a general rule I always keep it refrigerated 1 week maximum t...

Red, You must be not as good looking as us fully imported models that's why you don't get any "wanting to be your wife" emails. Bubba will back me up???????? Cheers, Jan. Who, what, where?

Thank you for posting that video link CW, and happy 4th to every one as well. A little Bubba math reasoning on how massive the USA is:- If one starts at the age of 20, lives and explores one state of the USA every year, that person would be older than 70 when he / she has completed the journey.
