Thanks for the sausage recipes!
I cull my hens too, egg production falls off, they go in the stew pot.

Fennel seed works good too in the Summer sausage in place of the anise seed.
I was always under the impression that it's the fennel that makes sausage... sausage... 
Either way, I haven't found many sausages I didn't like

I haven't used the anise or fennel very much. I think the fennel flavor is real typical for the sausage on pizza and in Italian dishes. The anise is used in candy. Think licorice. Most of my breakfast sausage doesnt use either, just sage and other spices. My summer sausage is mainly the curing salt and other spices. I have been trying out things to make it taste hotter and more like pepperoni.

Yesterday we set up an old round card table in the basement and Jill wrapped presents and I cleaned guns. 2-1/2 hours and she wrapped 7 apiece for the boys. I managed to get 8 guns cleaned.
Only 3 had been recently fired, the other 5 just needed oiled down. Gotta have good, clean, oiled guns. Jammed out to Bon Jovi while down there. Did I mention it's an unfinished basement? Warmer than in the garage!

Sounds like a good day!
What a way to spend a few hours! Good music, good company, lots of weapons and a job to do with them. I imagine it was quite enjoyable and rather relaxing I'm sure.

I remember sitting at my dispatch desk abt 8 years ago, dreaming of what it would be like to have a full time ministry position. At that time, I had been doing a part time ministry position for abt 7 years plus full time EMS work with guaranteed OT each week, and was a volunteer firefighter and department chaplain.
We have been here 7 years now. I gave up Fire and EMS to devote my time to ministry and family. I complain sometimes I am on duty 24/7.
We had been here 4 years and I dreamed of getting back into raising rabbits and raising hay, getting into rabbit ranching. It keeps me tired and busy. I complain abt having to clean up and butcher.
Today I am butchering, it is cold and I have a propane heater running. Christmas is drawing near. I have the Christmas Eve service planned out, not to mention Sunday services this week and next. I look over and see the Gravely tractor, and it dawns on me I am living my dreams. Sounds korny, but I got what I wanted. We don't get everything in every way we expected, but when He gives us what we ask for, we better be grateful. Here's to living the good life!
