Sausages a Potpourri ~ Foamheart

[foamheart]

Did these today during halftime. I've got cajun hot and pepperoni stix to be smoked, along with a Canadian "Back" bacon, a cured belly & a big old butt! Hope I can get it all in the smoker at one time. LOL

Cajun hot and pepperoni stix for smoking..........



Fresh breakfast maple flavored links. For those rendezvous with flap jacks or waffles during this cool season. I just had to lick my lips thinking about it.



And last but not least, fresh Italian 80/20. Never did this before, thinking when frozen would be nice like a brat size could just cut 'em open for spaghetti sauce or lasagnas. We'll see.



Not too too bad for halftime!!

Will show the rest when I get ready to smoke them.

Thats it for Sunday morning and .............. Geaux Tigers!

BTW did everyone tell CFarmer Happy Birthday ?? He can go take his driver's licence test this week now! Good luck Adam!

It was because my ball team was worrying me. If they can win their next game I'll be a lot easier to get along with. LOL

Thanks alot.

I wasn't that surprised, but it just looks like a lot. Normally I do a lot more at one time. This was only 10 pounds of beef and about 15 pounds of pork. I still have 15 lbs of butt rubbed & drying in the reefer to smoke, I cut a big chunk off and its in the crock pot for tamales. Its been rendering since last night. I'll freeze it for the next batch of tamales.

I am way behind on my smoker time this year.

LOL... well so far today

Smoking cajun hot sausage & pepperoni stix


Butt now rubbed and dried to hit the smoker.



I cut off a piece of the butt and rendered it down. Will freeze after it cools, the shredded meat and lard will be tamales at a later date.



Butt in the smoker



Pulled the sausage and pepperoni stix ( I think I should have had the butt in the smoker AFTER I pulled the sausage and stix LOL)



Took some meats out the brine, a piece of loin (Canadian Bacon) and some brined sow belly for Jalapeno bacon. Never tried before so I can't really tell you.



Cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes. Thats since lunch. Oh made a caramel & cranberry apple pie for breakfast....

Seems the Honey crisps are in!!



Slow day so far. Lots of TV.
