Not tonights dinner, but pretty damn similar anyway. This is a pan full of bolognaise sauce I cooked up the other night to go with spagettii. Tonight was similar in that the bog sauce contained meatballs instead of mince.

The kids had left over birthday cake from young Morgans 9th b'day party we had yesterday. Does that count?! I could probably find a photo of it too if you like.

Here 'tis anyway...The wife did a pretty damn good job even though it does look a bit like a demented Rubik's cube covered in purple icing.

It's been a while since I've seen a Checkerboard Cake and I've never seen one so colorful. Looks great! Give that lovely bride my compliments

You're a demented Rubiks cube hahahahaha !

Well if your going to eat, you need ingredients. So Sunday my son and I made Smoked Kielbasa. All of my kids have helped with making the various sausages that I make but Sunday was special. While we were getting ready to get going I mentioned that he really needed to pay attention to how things worked as someday I wouldn't be around and since he'd helped the most it would be him making the sausages in the future. He then said that he wanted to run the stuffer, place the casings on, then link the casings and put them on the smoke sticks.

He did a great job! Here's a few pics after stuffing while he was linking;



Here he's using the boning knife to measure the links for uniformity;



Here's some on a smoke stick ready for the smoker;



We decided to try something different so we stuffed some 3 and 7/8" X 24" collagen casings;



Well my smoker started acting up and we barely got the linked sausage done so I put the collagen casings ones in the freezer and am hoping it'll turn out right in a day or so. With that said, here's a few of the finished links. All others are packaged, frozen and ready to use or just eat with cheese and crackers. Some of them will be Christmas Presents;



I hope all have enjoyed.
