Sausage!!

Have you ever made your own sausage?  On this Mark's Daily Apple link, there is a recipe and instructions for making your own sausage.  Since I don't have a meat grinder I looked for some ground pork, which I found at BJ's.

So I made sausage.  It came out tasting really good!  I impressed myself! 
Thanks Sophia for taking this photo!

Homemade Sausage

• 2 lbs. ground pork
• 2 teaspoons ground sage
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, I used freshly cracked mixed peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar - a little won't hurt!
• 1 teaspoon red peppers flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Mix well. (I used my best tools - my hands).  Form into patties. Enjoy!!
