This is a bit of a detour from home selling but it is about making a happy home! Greg and I just bought a NESCO sausage grinder and stuffer and used it for the first time yesterday. This was one of the most satisfying culinary projects I have ever been a part of. Also, it was the first time eating sausage where there was no guilt! I knew exactly what went into our sausage so that eating it was just plain tasty. Here's the recipe: Pork butt, fennel seeds, parsley, red-pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. We cut the pork butt into chunks and then mixed it with the seasonings, allowed it sit for about an hour, then grinded it twice and voila! The next attempt will be tweaking the flavorings (more fennel!) perhaps some oregano, garlic, etc. and then actually stuffing into casings. My Dad has taught me year after year how to make Finnish Potato Sausage so this "should" be a no-brainer. Thanks Dad for that! Also, organic pork? That would be preferable but hard to find where we live.
