Make pepperoni!!
Mixed up the liquid ingredients

Meat mixing in the Kirby mixer

All done and ready to go in the fridge overnight

Just seems like a week or two.

Gus, hope that things just goes away and you get to smoke that fine Sausage.

Good to see you are making a positive experience out of a negative one. Good luck and all the best to you.

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

took a long time.At around midnight I took them out even though they only read 142* IT. Think I should hot bath it today and get it to 160*?
It tastes good as is.I may take a stick and try a bath.
Here they are out and blooming

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.

grnhs · October 22, 2011, 04:29:31 PM

Hope you're pain free soon Gus!

SiFumar · October 22, 2011, 05:44:59 PM

Great lookin sausage! I hope you feel better soon and I hope they do lithotripsy for he stone!

So here is the sausage in some Italian bread smothered with sauteed peppers and onions. I added some sauteed spinach mixed with chopped peppers,onions, and breadcrumbs.
