Tex_77 hey Tex I got a question for you and the group I made some Italian sausage a while back vacuum sealed and froze it I took some out yesterday and cooked it and the hog casings are so tuff you can’t hardly bite thru them you have to cut them with a knife what do you think caused this they are 38 to 40 casings
gus4416, did you let the links dry in the fridge over night before freezing and vac sealing? I’ve only made linked sausages a hand full of times but I’ve never skipped the drying overnight step. Maybe the casings remained a bit too wet and caused that toughness?

Finally after a two year hiatus I made a batch of chili. Found a few pounds of brisket from the fall when pulling meat for grinding. I think I found my favorite meat to make chili; the wife wanted beans in it. Gotta pick your battles.

For those who may recall a post I put up of some stir-fry a while back, I had made special mention of my great aunts chopsticks that she brought back from Japan after WWII. Well going through some old pictures the other day, I found one of her and thought I would share. She was a pretty unique lady, especially for her day. I knew her only briefly while she was living in an assisted living home, fraught with dementia, unfortunately. Here she is photographed in Japan, likely cleaning the floor with a couple of G.I.'s !

RafterW What an attractive woman. I bet her life was classic.
