Full day today, another rough on the fingers cold day too.. Some neighbor was shooting but not me today.. Got it done though, put up 25lbs of Italian and almost 12 lbs of breakfast sausage.. Since he was a potbelly of sorts he went into sausage and bacon only.. The bacon is still curing, maybe by Tuesday it'll slice.. I fried up an Italian link and found I should have put in more fat in it , quite lean but it was tasty and I know where it came from.. Very glad we bought the foot pedal with the grinder , the wife told me WHOA so many times I thought I was a horse.. Without the foot pedal it would have been a real chore but we both enjoyed it and we'll look forward to many a tasty Italian subs and spaghetti of course..
