started the real work this morning

did 50lbs of venison burger already this morning and got 40lbs of venison and 10lbs of pork and 10 lbs of high temp pepper jack cheese out to grind tomorrow to start the yearly summer sausage making. I usually make twice as much of both but it wasn't a real good year shooting on the farm.

Lot of work but it's fun to do Lloyd . I'm here by myself now so probably will not make big batches anymore but enjoy the process . Still too warm in my county to smoke sausage but it's a comin soon.

Well its all made and stuffed. 20 sticks total. Sitting in the fridge and will be smoked tommarow.

Love venison summer sausage.. fry it in a pan until browned, drop on cheap white bread slathered with butter, little mustard or horseradish... was one of my meals for days I worked 10-12 hours at the casino... washed down with 3-4 beers then collapse in bed... rinse and repeat the next day when we were doing expansions...

When I started at that casino we had 1,200 slot machines, when I left we were at 2,200! Each slot when it comes in has to be prepped, our communications board added so it could talk to the accounting computer and lock it out if communications were lost, add our locks, mount to our bases(every casino seemed to use a different style base) that we had to drill and punch holes in for wiring access and coin drop if it an older throwback style machine instead of a paper ticket machine(some players like coins, filthy things!)... lot of prep to each then install it on the casino floor, pull comm wires to each machine, run power cables to outlet strips then the main outlet for that bank of machines, then run tests and full function by playing them a bit. Last part was fun because we hit a lot of jackpots LOL.

Mary I sometimes cut a couple slices and fry it in butter with a couple eggs for breakfast. Changes the taste of it to almost like eating a spicy ham.
