75 in '05
I had a year in review thingy compiled but it now seems much too late for that so I canned the whole thing, save for the next little gem which I feel is still worth sharing.
I started keeping a notebook of the sausage I’ve made in February of 2005. The recipe, notes about how it was smoked, comments on how the final product turned out etc., just so I can keep track of what works and what doesn’t. So with each recipe is the amount of meat that I started with. I added that number up for each entry and came up with 75 pounds of sausage made in 2005. That doesn’t include the weight of the spices or water added or of any weight lost in the smoker, but I’m guessing it’s fairly accurate.
