First off, I stopped at 711 (Sleven) to pick up a fountain diet coke. It's funny, somehow fountain soda on ice feels different than out of a can/bottle. Anyhow I am checking out the gummi candies when I come across flesh colored gummies that oddly resemble favors at bachelorette parties, if you get my drift. BUT these were not such novelty gifts, they were Hannah Montana gummy microphones and guitars. The microphones are worse than the guitars, way worse. When I got home and was checking my email I saw a teaser about inappropriate candy for a 15 yr old and behold, it's referring to Hannah Montanta gummi penis microphones! Look for them at your local 711.
So the reason for this post. A couple years ago we received a really nice Kitchen Aid mixer from the in-laws. The nice one with an outlet for attachments such as pasta makers etc. Well it was then that Hubby decided that he wanted to start making sausage. In typical Hubby fashion he bought a book and studied up on the subject and then proceeded to ask me when we could buy a MEAT GRINDER and sausage stuffers.....that's right SAUSAGE STUFFERS. Now he has made sausage a couple times with a buddy who is equally passionate about meat (OH BOY I GOTTA STOP) because it really is a time consuming process that requires two. So we are having a BBQ this weekend and Hubby d
ecides he wants to make sausage. Now I know that it is probably cheaper and easier to just BUY sausage for the BBQ but as a wife you learn to choose your battles. So he goes out and buys a pig butt (GROSS) from the local butcher and pig intestine casings (DOUBLE GROSS). His buddy can't join him so he just decides to make it solo......fine with me as long as I am not involved. I hate raw meat and the different smells make me want to hurl. So it gets to the part where he is going to stuff and he calls me from the kitchen....."Melissa, I need your help"
UGH he wants help stuffing. Now I can either shove raw sausage into the stuffer with my BARE, UNGLOVED HANDS or hold pig intestine and guide the sausage as it is getting stuffed......I choose the guiding process, I just don't like touching raw meat. The things we do for love.
Empty Intestine, the material is quite resilient.

Oakley waiting for his raw meat. Cutest dog ever.

You are braver than I my dear! Have fun at your BBQ this weekend. I will be hunkering down, preparing for what will inevitably become Hurricane Hannah!
