Those look good enough to eat. Getting a consistent fill of the casing is tricky. Use lots of vegetable oil on the "filler" tube before you put on the casing and put vegetable oil on your hands to let it slide. It's definitely a "feel" thing to make it right.

BTW, freeze leftover casings no matter what you're told. They last forever and do not break after freezing.

I will just ask my mom or my sister to make some beans and rice. THen tell them, throw in some carne asada. Damn it. Now i am hungry.

I only had a couple of casings left over after the andouille and breakfast sausage, so I just pitched 'em.

The casings are kind of hard to find here in Springville. I got some I think at a Harter House store in a small package. Turned out to be just the right amount.

Would like to find some sheep casings and make my own frankfurters. Nobody knows what they put in hotdogs you get from the store.

Up next, Bratwurst, if I can find some veal.

I'm not much in to red heads, but I'd make an exception for your Avatar Girl.

Know thy butcher. They can get any casing you want.

I don't think they have those in Springville.

Dinny, If Harter House can't get you the casings you want, there is a butcher shop in downtown Republic that I've heard has just about anything you need.

There you go. Someone on CP knows someone or something to get what you need. This place is awesome.

Thanks, MM.

I am planning a trip to Harter House to find some veal for the bratwurst project. I'll need some more hog casings for that. If I can find some sheep casings, I'll do some frankfurters next.

Any idea what the name of the butcher shop in Republic is?

Dinny

I'm still trying to learn how to find stuff local here in Springville. I am like a blind man w/o a stick or a dog down here. I play by sense of smell.

Go to Jazz... Bob Gretz says it the best...

Quite a few Dollar General's around town sale a red beans and rice package that is really good for those without the cooking gene...

i was reading to see who was gonna make the SIr Mixalot connection... +1 for MUron Brandon!!

Mmmm. Andouille with red beans and rice. Sounds like you're doing mardis gras. I've never been able to duplicate what I've had in NO.

We just got back from mardis gras in Deadwood. We built a float and threw 4000 strings of beads in their 5 block parade. I advise anyone that has a chance to throw beads in a mardis gras parade to do so. It was too much fun.

I was born before the old school was invented, so I confess I don't get it.

Care to enlighten me, oh young one?

I have heard Baby Got Back, but I stopped listening after "I like big butts and I cannot lie."

Provided I am even barking up the right tree.
