I've had some requests to document how to make salami, so I actually took process pictures this time. So, here's a thread. Step 1: determine recipe, cut meat to grinder sized chunks and partially freeze. Step 2: grind meat and fat (if needed) and re-chill (34f) 1/?

Today's project was this: hot smoked salmon.

Tomorrow's project. Maple bacon brisket breakfast sausage. 10lb.

I lied, had to sneak a taste. It's good. Can't elaborate on subtle flavors until I'm back to 100, but damn, good experiment.

Medieval flavor profile salami is done. Tasting notes to follow when I don't have a cold. But they feel awesome.

Kitty doing much better.

Diesel is $6.40.

Down by the ponds on the atv.

The fields of goldenrod aren't helping my cold, but they are beautiful. And there's a bunch of monarch butterflies around. Plus we got this view. Good afternoon from Hrafntop.

I might have a cold, but that won't stop me from enjoying my vacation. At the Dented Keg in Clearfield.

I'm up North on vacation. If course I have a killer head cold. And now the storm, she's rolling in.

I scored this first edition of Robert W Chambers "Police!!!" Along with the original signed publishing contract from 1915. Not a well known author, but my collection of his interesting books is now complete.

Obligate carnivore. Also messy.

I'm not sure what they have on him to force this humiliation ritual yet again where he promises shit that will never happen so blatantly, but it's gotta be bad.

Paranormal book first editions shelf is on a good path. Still sharing space with the liberty shelf, though.
