Making Sausages

(I'm working hard to catch up.  We got an Ipad which is AWESOME, but you can't "blog" from it so we had to fix our computer.  We are up and working again...and I have A LOT to catch up on!)

Rob has always talked about how much he used to love making Italian sausage with his grandparents when he was growing up.  It's one of his favorite memories...

So he was very excited when we decided to head up to the cabin to make sausage with his grandparents.  He learned the "art" of making Italian Sausage from his grandparents using his great-grandpa's grinder...talk about pretty cool!

We have a deep freezer full of Italian Sausage...come on over!!!!

Nana blowing the stundeens (which are casings but we have no idea how to spell it...but that's what they called it).  It's rather disgusting, but everyone took their turn, even the girls.  It's "tradition"..and I love myself a good tradition!

Lots of Grinding

Great-Papa teaching the girls some Italian! I think they learned "head".
