Mike Casselton MtnCreek You guy's just gotta let this tagging take it's course. Got so much time to try to make up..........
Now stop the attention whoring. Taggers please.
You fella’s ever do breakfast for supper? Simple farm boy meal of whole hog sausage, tators fried in a cast iron skillet, eggs cooked to order, toast, etc... Nary a clean pan in the kitchen when done, but tastes good after a long day when it gets chilly outside.
breakfast for supper is where its at...
and that plate of chow would start a fight, it looks so good

Never heard of them down here in Aus, just been doing some googling, looks and sounds good. Thanks mate.
I'd say that on a weekly basis at least 4 of my "dinners" are breakfast. I love chili in the morning and eggs with some manner of pork in the evening. I'll have to see about finding some whole hog sausage. I typically end up doing thick cut bacon or a slice of Country ham fried in bacon fat, but that sausage looks legit.
Bogey,
Ever consider making your own? Way cheaper than store bought, and generally much better. With a decent grinder, cranking out 10-20 lbs of it takes about 20mins. The wife and I started making our own a while back, since the Commissary sells pork shoulder on the cheap, and this way, we can spice it as we see fit. We'll run 30lbs through the grinder, and then vacuum seal patties in amounts that are just right for the two of use, and toss them in the freezer. Vacuum sealed with them individually laid out, they thaw out in a sink of water in about 10 mins. Makes for a quick meal in the evenings, with lots of protein (eggs, sausage, potatoes)....
Just a thought...

I have considered it actually, just haven't taken the plunge yet. I had to do some limited sausage making in a restaurant I worked at but not on my own. It's on my list along with Jerky as an area of "cooking" I haven't really explored yet.
Do do you have a recommendation for a decent affordable grinder? I just got momma a Kitchenaid stand mixer, but figured the grinder attachment for it would likely be a little underpowered?
Yeah, don't use the KA grinder attachment; honestly, it's a piece of shit that poses as a grinder (I bought one and used it once; never again).
You can't go wrong with a LEM #5 (their smallest). It doesn't have all the doodads that the bigger ones do, but it is sufficient enough to easily process a significant amount of meat (4lbs a minute IIRC). Steel gears, progressive twist auger (really sucks meat into the die plate), etc. It's really over built for it's size, but it'll last a looonnnggggg time. Not the cheapest option, but a quality piece of equipment by an American company that has been in the business a long time. Think of it as "the Kitchen Aid mixer of sausage grinders".

Yeah, the LEM's are all stainless steel. The ginder head spout is also tall enough to slide a bus boy bin under it (easily had on the cheap from restaurant supply stores), for when you're grinding up a a crap ton of meat. A lot of the economy grinders you have to sit up on a phone book or something to get them high enough. Again, LEM has been around a while, and their designs are solid.
Here's 51lbs of Boerwors (South African farmer's sausage) processed in a LEM grinder and then stuffed with LEM stuffer (a dedicated stuffer is much easier than stuffing on the grinder if you're doing cased sausage). The other photos are a 75lbs batch (we and a neighbor get together a few times a year and turn it into a beer drinking event, with a lot of good grilled meat at the end). BTW, in the third photo, I seem to recall those paler sausages were british bangers (as in "Bangers & Mash"), before they were twisted into smaller links.

What is this and how do I make one (or more)???
Oh man. Now that looks like a good meal. Sandwiches are insanely underrated in America. I'd take a good sandwich over a steak......Not that I want to give up steaks. And I'm talking 3 napkin, kickass sandwiches......
Went out to ship a pistol off to Gary Reeder. Decided to have lunch first, so I stopped at Smokin Joes BBQ a couple of miles from the house.Kept it simple and ordered the pulled pork on top of fries and cheese with a few jalapenos for good measure.
I failed. I tried. I couldn't eat all
You filthy animals are eating good, and killing me.
I just ate and am ready to tackle both those meals. Beer me.
This thread is like watching Tripe D on the food network. You better have some good snacks laying around cause it makes you HUNGRY!
No kidding, right. Well, couldn't think of a better way to start the week than have the Cook (who must be in a good mood) fix the 2 of us in the Jail Breakfast. Then my partner brings in a sampler for me of his Elk that he had done at Uncle Jim's in Chehalis. We're kinda shunning the local prick that we normally take our meat to because everybody is tired of his shit. Just an asshole and not worthy of our money. He does great shit but his one day a week window to drop off and pick up is not only bullshit, but so is his shitty attitude. Fuck him. Dicks or Uncle Jim's for us from now on. They do a great job, just a bit of a road trip to get there. And yes, got a couple friends that do their own, but it's not "All That" yet.
Thx for the Nom Nom Grandma.

Next time you're in Chehalis, drop a rifle off with Steve Kostanich. You'll love the way it performs
I've actually heard his name before. There are a couple guys close by on the I-5 corridor over there that are fairly well known. I gotta guy right here in the town I work in that does a pretty good job, but appreciate the heads up Mike. What did you have done and how'd ya hear of him? Just curious.....
I was living in Mountain Home, ID at the time, and had shot some BR with friends.
Got the itch, so I had him build a full on short range Benchrest rifle on a 700.
The two guys that came highly recommended were Steve Kostanich and Larry Cribbs.
I still have the barrel, trigger and action, but I didn't let Rebecca shoot that one Saturday. She would have shot better because that thing is a hammer.

Koolio. So, somewhere near "Gunfigter Ave" I'd suspect.
My 7MM BDL that was built in 69 is getting ready for a new barrel. It's been a Berger 168 eating maniac for a sporter barrel stock rifle off the shelf from back in the day. It's the go to hunting rig so I'm thinking of putting something a tad less contour than a say sendero contour. I have no experience in buying after market barrels so I'm gonna have to bone up on all that. I already had my Hide build done by my guy here locally, but I'm not opposed to seeing if he would take on this just to have one done by someone else. We'll see............. Thx buddy.

I sent you his v-card info
I took the BDL Stock off it a looooooooooong time ago to preserve it. It's in very very good shape. I put a Hogue with bedding block on it and love it. It's not TAF but it is quiet, tacky when wet, and forearm doesn't bend into the barrel. It's the perfect mud n rain stock for me. I'm gonna go take a looksy at Bartlein meow. Thanks buddy.
Now I better post up some grub real quick so we don't derail the Nom Nom Nom.
Since it is the Christmas season I was wondering what delicious confections and baked goods you're eating . My absolute favorite is fruit cake . My mom used to make it very moist and heavy with mince meat and Karo . I would eat until I was sick it was so good .
I miss both Mom and her fruitcake .
I miss both Mom and her fruitcake .
Finally another fruitcake fan. I don't think I've ever had one with mincemeat, but my grandmother would bake them with the dried fruit or whatever that crack is. It seems like now fruitcake holds some cult status as a joke gift or something. Every Christmas I put the word out that I'll happily accept all of them that were received and unwanted. Some years I've had a stack of them that I could stockpile and enjoy for months. My gf has told me that I may be the last man on earth that actually eats them. I shall inform her that she's apparently wrong.
My dad loved fruitcake. His favorite was to rum soak it over a month or two prior to eating it. Eeewww
my mom used to send me a fruitcake every christmas, one time being nice after being asked how i liked the cake, i said it was my fave...
well, after that she was sending them to me, everywhere i used to go in the corps...
fruitcake can last for months...
only one time did i see it almost get a little dry, but it was stuck in a pouch for a couple months in d.c.

That shit is scary. Any normal cake is stale after a couple of days. That stuff lasts for years. I wonder if it has any medical uses?
One of my Sister's sent one my way in 81 while on WestPac. Caught up to me in the IO. Looked like a Nerf Ball. Covered in mold. U guys can have that nasty stuff. I can only imagine the temp changes it went thru to reach me.
Yeah like the rest of the world thinks I'm some mutatant lepper tard cause I eat fruit cake .
Food of the gods I say which would make us demi gods .
