<![CDATA[Sounds of Spring]]>A bit off topic but… Just had a short thunderstorm pass through. Not a big deal to folk’s in warmer climates but huge deal here in the great white north. It means the last of the white stuff is being washed away.

Although we’re sheltered in right now, those few rolls of thunder mean better time’s ahead. Being outdoors, grilling, smoking, camp fire’s and gathering with family and freinds.

Stay strong people… We got this!

Boere is the Afrikaans for farmer or boer, wors is sausage.
We have many other types of wors that are not as regulated i.e. chilli wors, garlic wors, kampvuur (camp fire) etc.
If you like I can share a spice mix on here?

The name is derived from the Afrikaans/Dutch words boer (“farmer”) and wors (“sausage”). Boerewors must contain at least 90 percent meat, and always contain beef, as well as lamb, pork, or a mixture of lamb and pork. The other 10% is made up of spices and other ingredients.

Boerewors spice:
Kampvuur Boerewors:
salt. cereal, spice and spice extract. MSG,acidity regulator, anti-oxidant, phosphate and preservative.
90% meat I ususally use beef but pork is good too and the pork seems to have a better fat.
I use some bread crumbs or rusk
A bit of cold water to mix spices prior to the second mincing of the product.

Keep safe all

I gave him many of my Midwest fresh casing and smoked sausage all the time. he often talked about Boerewors sausages. He did not know the recipe. Would you care to share the recipe? So we can try a taste of South Africa in the USA.

We have the antelope like the Eland, Red hartebeest, Impala, Springbok, Kudu, Zebra,
I have shot some warthog with a compound bow and worked that meat but otherwise rely on beef and pork mainly. Yes I ahave a boerbull dog part of the mastiff family also a big boy.
Thanks for the note stay safe and keep well.
regards Andrew

If so what is the coolest/most dangerous thing you’ve gone after? Also, I have a South African Mastiff who is just over 1 year old…actually he is now 1.5 years old but he weighs a ludicrous 165 lb!

WI on ‘essential’ business. Peeps, geese and cranes in full vocal harmony. But after this last snow storm,12" of heavy wet stuff I expect that to be silenced until at least this weekend.

He may be the next victim of the smoker if he keeps it up!

Tomato plants about 18-24 inch tall,don’t need any hail. Been plenty warm here in S.E. TX , so growing season is here. Don’t miss the snow I used to get in Colorado. Garden didn’t go it for another month. Happy Easter to all!

My favorite “Sound of Spring” is the chorus of morning birds chirping away.

Attended UWS, left there in 1983, we have been back a few times over the years. Snow banks around our place in the UP range 3-5 feet. I hear that Marquette is close to snow free except for the plow hill’s. I suspect that it is the big lake effect. I will be doing the same here, boiling, bottling, curing, grinding, stuffing, repeat.

Funny thing is, superior is only 20 miles north of me and they have nothing on the ground. Has been great temps for sapping, just hard getting around in the woods. It is nice tho being stuck at home to have plenty of pork butts and venison in the freezer to make sausage

I expect that this will be knocked down after this week of warmer temps. Perfect weather for boiling sap and making sausage.

What’s the saying “This too shall pass”? Or something like that!

We were finally able to see patches of grass, and now this. Be glad you only got rain
