Gus, I hope you are feeling better.  The sausage making may take your mind of the pain a bit.  Take care of yourself.

Still waiting for the stone to pass.  Went to the Dr yesterday and he recommended that we wait the weekend and if nothing happens I need to go in for xrays Monday morning and he will probably want to go in and get it. I think I would prefer that in lieu of waiting for the next time I get incapacitated with pain. It is not bad today.

Meanwhile, aside from pepperoni, you can make Italian sausage while you wait to pass the stone.
Here's a small batch I made (2 2/3 lbs) this morning.

Figure we will have sausage, peppers, and onion sandwiches for dinner.

Hey Gus those look real nice.
I feel for ya on the stones. About 10 years ago I went through it. Had three the size of a BeeBee gun bullet. Ten days in the hospital on morphine. Two operations later I was set free. Man I miss that morphine  ;D :P
