For Easter I made four 2kg batches of sausage – two for the smoker, one fresh batch for the grill, and a batch of breakfast sausage links (not shown). It was my first time using curing salts and smoking the sausage at a lower temp (160-180 F) than normal smoking temps. It was a tasty experiment, I learned a few things, and will certainly be making additional batches in the future! Here are some pics:
A few months ago, I mentioned the difficulty that we’ve had uncovering a specific geocache. Well, last night we finally defeated the dreaded Dam the Cayuga Cache.

Ok… not that it ever really closed. But this was our first opportunity to get out and do a little caching this year. For the uninitiated, Geocaching is an activity where an object of some type is hidden at a specific location. That location’s lattitue and longitude are published on a website, along with a…
Amanda and I haven’t been doing any geocaching lately, but that doesn’t stop our travel bug from making it’s way around the world. After it’s long stint in Africa, it spent some time in Europe. In fact, at one point during my stay in Belgium, I was within about 30 miles of our bug’s hiding…
That is one mega sausage. Bet that would be perfect at a barbeque.
