Sausage post on it's way...

As you can see, I've begun my adventures in homemade sausage. After a few botched attempts I broke down and purchased Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing by Michael Ruhlman. I enjoyed one of his other books (The Soul of a Chef: The Journey Toward Perfection) and I'd heard good things about this one. Needless to say, it's been fantastic so far. I'll have a full update soon.
