   Hi Ruth,   
      
   RH> My dad got into doing computer services (payroll, bookkeeping, etc) for   
   RH> others (in a town of about 800) after he lost his newspaper (editor, small   
   RH> position. No pension out of it but between his business for 20 years, mom   
   RH> working as a librarian (school first,then town) and retirement from that,   
      
   Interesting, so both UDD and your Dad had experience publishing.   
   Publishing, bookkeeping, and library work all strike me as social in nature,   
   though a lot of the actual work is "behind the scenes" so to say.   
   It sounds like your Dad did bookkeeping on that Texas Instruments computer?   
   Did either of your parents ever "take you to work" with them?  If so, what   
   do you remember that being like?   
      
   RH> Sounds good to me. Steve found some goat meat in the freezer last night;   
   RH> I'm going to put it in a crock pot with some peppers, onions, and tomatoes   
   RH> for an easy sorta chili tomorrow.   
      
   Do i recall correctly that "sorta" cuisine means improvising with what's   
   on hand?

         Title: Fresh Pork Sausage   
    Categories: Sausages   
         Yield: 10 Pounds   
       
         5 tb Salt   
         1 tb Ground white pepper   
         2 tb Rubbed sage   
         1 ts Ginger   
         1 tb Nutmeg   
         1 tb Thyme   
         1 tb Ground hot red pepper   
         2 c  Ice water (optional)   
       
     You can make an excellent breakfast sausage using 100% pork butts.   
     This product is of such high quality that it is never seen in a meat   
     market and can only be had by making it yourself. You can also make a   
     breakfast sausage of 50% pork butts and 50% pork trimming and you   
     would still have a sausage of high quality. All the pork used to   
     manufacture sausage must be chilled from 32 to 35?F without fail. Be   
     sure that all the meat is free of blood clots, sinews, bone, skin,   
     glands, etc.   
        
     Grind all the meat through a 3/16" grinder plate and place in mixer.   
     Add all the ingredients and mix well until all the spices are evenly   
     distributed.   
        
     Pork sausage may be stuffed into 28 to 30 mm hog casings or 22 to 24   
     mm lamb casings. Pork sausage also may be stuffed into a cloth bag or   
     a 3-1/2 by 24" fibrous casing. It is very important that pork sausage   
     not be allowed to remain at room temperature any longer than   
     necessary. Place in cooler as soon as possible. Pork sausage should   
     be allowed to chill and dry in 28 to 32?F cooler.
