    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 !
