    Mmmmmm Pork Pies

    Nice job on the pies! Have to give them a try; always looking for something different. One question, for the pastry dough recipe; how many pounds of sausage will that take? I know there are a lot of variables but an approximate starting weight would be helpful. Thanks for the post.

    And now....BRAUNSCHWEIGER!

    Great looking Braunschweiger! Can it be frozen with no ill effects? I'm the only one in the house that eats it and can't justify making just enough for myself (1 or 2 lbs) if it can't be frozen. Thanks for your reply in advance.

    Cut of Beef Question

    My understanding of this is that the Manhatten Steak, aka New York Strip, cut comes from the loin of the cow. The Prime Rib comes from the rib section. The NY Strip would be a leaner cut of beef. The Rib Steak is more tender.

    Best Place to Buy Vaccum Sealer Bags

    I've had good luck with this seller; elrodharris ( 9469) on eBay. Bags work good and the price was right. I'm sure there are other sellers there with good prices/quality; just a matter of sorting them out. This is not an endorsement for this seller (no relationship); have used him and was happy.
