Man, am I slow witted this morning ???
Spent a minute wondering who Susan was, and how she helped.

Thanks for the great idea,

Question:
I'm doing all beef snack sticks today. UPS is gonna deliver my casing today. Should I mix up the meat and seasonings and let it sit in the fridge until tomorrow morning and then stuff, or do just wait until the casing gets here and stuff right away?

Hey Ron
You can mix and wait but remember the mix will start to bind the meat thus making it hard (but not impossible) to stuff with the small tube. I would wait unless you have eaten your spinach today :D
I am waiting.
Getting close

I guess I'm gonna have to lift weights tonight. UPS tracking number said I'd get the casing today and they didn't show up. So now I got my snack stick mix in the fridge for the night. Any way to salvage it??
I was hoping they would come out at least half as good as yours!

Your mix will be fine, If you wanted you can even freeze it.
Those look Killer Nepas!!!! I have that lem snack stick seasoning, is it possible to add a spice to it to make it Pepperoni stick mix ? ???
Ron, if they get a little hard to stuff you can add just a bit of water to thin them out a bit. Just don't add too much water. As Rick said, freezing them will be just fine. If your casings come in tomorrow you will be ready to stuff. Good luck.
Gotta like wally at least for one thing.....Free paper bags by the ice cream to put your jerky and stix in ;D

You will have to add fennel & anise seed to the mix.
