I'm still haven't decided on a couple other things. I got her some diamond earrings for
Christmas a couple years back, and I'm thinking about upgrading those to a larger size. I might
do that or buy some new vent-free gas logs for our fireplace (another thing she has hinted at in
the past).
The KitchenAid is money. They seem expensive, but it will make her happy and last for 50 years.
That's what I like to hear.

NOT understand.
kchu - purchasing gifts for women is ALL about showing you pay attention.
I became sold on the kitchen aid when I bought the attachment to make sausage.
My wife loves it. They last forever. What's not to like?

The sausage grinder attachment works well for *small* batches, as long as your meat is carefully trimmed. Does make the
mixer run very hot, which may be unnerving to some folks.

Yes, the meat needs to remain chilled during the grinding process. It's difficult to manage that with smaller machines, as their
motors have to work harder to grind the meat and push it out into the casings, which can generates a lot of heat.

You definitely have to watch the machine during the process to make sure that your seasonings are getting effectively mixed in
with the meat. I found that nearly all of the fennel seeds and peppers in one batch of italian sausage ended up in just a couple
of links. That was a little embarrassing when I served them at a cookout.

When our children started arriving, we quit buying for each other. I haven't had a Christmas present (b-day, anniversary, or
Send Private Message
Valentines, either) from her in 25 years. She hasn't from me either. We kinda buy through our children for each other, if there is
something one of us knows the other wants, but it has worked out great and saves a ton of money and hassle. Although,
sometimes we might buy ourselves something together if there is a need, like a TV, curtains, etc. The last thing that I can think
of buying her "through the kids" is a Mother's ring about 7 years ago. My daughters are older and I have a 7 year (late addition)
son. When he was born, we wanted to get her one.
Before anyone thinks that I am cheap, I want to say that I buy her presents all the time. I send her roses out of the blue. She is
very low maintence and very practical, but she likes the "unexpected" gifts. As do I. I am really going to smoke over the mixer
you guys are discussing. It sounds like the bomb. That might be her next surprise present.

I am so glad that this discussion is back. I've been in a fog since the sausage thread disappeared. Unfortunately, the people
on this board http://forum.sausagemaking.org/index.php are a bit stiff and it makes for difficult discussion.
If you need to know ANYTHING about sausagemaking, though, that is the place to go. They don't go for +1's, "This"'s or just
requoting. You have to bring your game.

LOL I got a warning from sausagemaking.org for not using the search function before asking a question about the fat content of
Duroc pigs. Can't participate in a forum that rigid, it's almost uncomfortable.

Spuudy and saucisson are notoriously quick to rip noobs a new one. Actually, amusing sometimes, but when someone just

Spuudy is the one that chastised me for not using search. Umm yeah, you're a mod on a sausage forum. Ease up a bit,
because some of us have alot to contribute on the subject.

I've also noticed some of the mods there seem to take their "positions" a bit too seriously.

Agreed, I saw that one poster essentially got banned in a chicken sausage thread last month for calling out a mod on his use of

ones, and the mod kind of got backed in to a corner so he deleted all the posts and banned. It might have been spuudy but I
can't remember.

Which sausage mod got all irate and insisted that he wasn't going to post any more recipes, only to post some more the next
day? That's when I became sort of disenchanted with the sausage making forum...

I think it was darrenG. IIRC, the thread was about putting dried milk powder in salami. Apparently, Marianski and Bertolli don't,
but Rulhman and Len Poli do. Some idiot called Rulhman a hack and thethread went downhill from there.

bfactor, when you make weisswurt do you use the #29 or #32 hog casings?

Weisswurt is not one that I do, because it's not smoked and thus doesn't have a long enough shelf life for my rate of
consumption. I HATE freezing/thawing, just doesn't taste the same. Traditionally I think people use something closer to a #20
casing for that style.
