Thanks everybody! It was a good day!
Do you guys want to hear the highlight of my day?
My parents came over for dinner, and we had some black market sausage!! I'm from rural MN and we know an old guy that butchers 200 hogs once a year. He only makes sausage out of the hogs. No roasts, no loins, no bacon, ALL of that good meat goes into sausage. After that, some simple smoking and only salt and pepper for seasoning.
It is the best sausage ever! The old guy and his wife live all year off the sausage profits. Luckily my dad is one of the trustworthy few that get this "black market" sausage!
Of course my old man will show up a few times a year with some moonshine too, so it gets interesting
