I got into making my own links sausages during lockdown last year and it’s surprisingly easy and extremely tasty.

my brother and I do this every couple of years when someone gives us some venison. neither of us hunts, but we both love deer sausage. 50/50 mix with pork butt, natural casings. I can't remember the seasoning mix.

so for years, South Carolina mandated the use of airplane bottles in bars. the state had a per-bottle liquor tax and very much enjoyed this setup.

drinks were rather expensive and very strong... if you ordered a shot, you got the contents of a minibottle if you ordered a Long Island iced tea, you'd end up with a massive, expensive, unwise drink (instead of just the last thing.)

the state finally overturned this 15 years ago, but just before they did, a bar went in locally that had incredibly expensive bespoke fixtures, all of them sized for minibottles. poor bastards.

I ask relatively few things of a mayonnaise; one is that it not be brown. I decided to poke around a little bit and see what I could find on the subject. the answer is "basically nothing," but I did find some afp.

here's an article from the Elmira, NY Star-Gazette about local pizza joints:

and a clickbait puff piece from the Today show about Alton running out of oil and using mayo instead:

I was driving in the late evening when a group of three small does ran out in front of me I had cars behind and beside me, so I decided to hope for the best, rather than getting rear-ended.

I nailed the third one absolutely dead on, and pulled over to assess damage (to both the Honda Odyssey and the animal). the front of the van was rearranged in a way that while not aesthetic I did not end up repairing with my $1100 check from Geico.

a kid in a really enormous truck pulled over because he thought I'd had a flat and was going to offer a hand. he suggested we grab the deer to keep other people from hitting it.

I said "ok, but watch out, because it's still" and then there was a loud double crunch and I said "well, never mind." we grabbed it and hefted into the back of his truck.

I thanked him for stopping to help, and he said "sure, and don't worry... I won't get in trouble for having the deer." I did not tell him that I was not worried about that, but in my defense, there is basically no police presence in that part of the county anyway.

I'm not sure what was left unbruised on the animal, but I hope he ate it.

You're generally making sausage out of deer except for a few specific cuts for a few people who gotta have their venison roasts/steaks/stews. I imagine you're on a tighter clock to drain the carcass compared to a clean shot but otherwise you're probably throwing it in the meat grinder anyway.

that's maybe the problem... that the blood fucks up the meat?

Sirotan posted:

Not one person came to see if we were dead or alive, they just wanted to wait and see if we claimed the carcass or not.

all of my male ND relatives hunt. one of them had bagged his limit for the day, but on the way home, hit and killed two bucks. (his Suburban was relatively undamaged.)

rather than trying to explain to a game warden why he had too many dead deer, he went to the processor and dropped off the ones he had, then came back.

in the 2 or 3 hours that it took to get back, someone had found the carcasses and removed the heads and capes, presumably to mount them :psyduck:

fake edit: not mount in the David Cameron sense, although who knows

when I was a kid, the head lunchlady at my school would get a citation every year (the good kind) from the county for being at least $500 under budget ($1200ish, adjusted for inflation)

good job saving money on the little kids' food, lady.

anyway, a bunch of kids didn't like tomatoes, so they'd give me their hamburger tomatoes. I think my record was 15 slices of rock-hard pink industrial tomato on my TVP-stretched burger.

in more cheery news, we used to get fried shrimp at my previous elementary school, which was located in a salt marsh. they never shelled the last joint of the shrimp before frying them, and that's where I got into the habit of eating the shell of said last joint (if it's fried... I'm not munching down on chitin under general circumstances).

the cafeterias at my kids' schools currently serve reheated food, nothing cooked as such. like the Olive Garden, but with sharply restricted breadsticks. and all the utensils and trays are disposable. I'm sure it saves money on lost forks and industrial dishwashers, but holy poo poo what an environmental nightmare

behold! the Forbidden Hamburger:




I had some ground beef that was getting iffy, so I mixed in as much dry clay as it could take and remain integral.

then I cooked the resulting patty in the (regular) oven so that it wouldn't start rotting before I got it into the kiln. (note the grill marks in the 2nd pic.)

after I fired it the first time (to around 1940 F), it was brittle and it smelled disconcertingly of cremated bad ground beef. it was still brittle after the second firing (to 2232 F), but at least it didn't smell anymore.

the terrible sallow color comes from natural ash glaze. I had to do several glaze firings before it absorbed enough glaze material to be less brittle.

I feel as though this is my greatest crime performed in the medium of clay (and not the goatse mugs)

quick food safety check: I would have eaten cooked sausages the next morning, depending on the type, but I would definitely have pitched any raw sausages that stayed out that long.

my food safety standards about cross-contamination are rigid, but my food safety standards about refrigeration are really loving lax. I never get sick, though.

Do you do these kinds of art projects more often?

I had an ongoing series that I was calling (in my head) "gonzo inclusions." grits, coffee grounds, bone chips, whole bones, baking soda (and then vinegar slip), soil, hair, paper, probably some other things. I haven't made much over the last year, for some mysterious reason. some interesting results.

more normal food/pottery fact: regular salt actually makes a glass glaze on its own, but it's hell on electric kiln elements and (still more critically) releases chlorine gas at stoneware temperatures.

I have always wondered what would happen if you wrapped an egg in clay and fired it. Thoughts?

it can't be completely enclosed or the steam will make it explode. (that goes for regular clay, too... it contains water that's chemically bound up in the clay, even when it's completely dry in normal terms, so there's got to be an escape hole for any enclosed space.)

there's calcium in the shell (obviously), but I think it'd effectively disappear. a whole egg in a bowl, say, would probably leave a weird stain. maybe I'll give it a crack (heh).

one of the items still on my list is to try egg white as a binder for glaze materials.

When I was a bartender I tried mixing this hypnotiq stuff with Viniq, the purple shimmery liqueur that was really popular a few years ago. Normally hypnotiq makes whatever it touches into some gross looking garbage, but the two basically cancel each other out. The drink was just white, somehow. Not fully opaque like milk, but not a gross green color. It was really weird
