Today is international Italian sausage day.
Well, it could be if someone decided to make it thus. So, I just did.
Today, I am making Italian sausage, from scratch. I found a pair of really good home cooks on YT yesterday, who are Italian, and just started on YT last year. Their channel is Cooking with the Coias, where Ivo, and his wife Laura Coias, both in their late 60’s, or early 70’s, show one how to cook different Italian dishes, step by step. Fortunately, for me, they made, wait for it, Italian sausage.
So, I have gathered up all of the spices, and, of course, the pork needed to make this deliciousness, and, am, currently, whilst I type this missive, defrosting the pork. When it is done defrosting, I will grind the pork through our amazing multitasking Kitchen Aid appliance, and make sausage.
It slices, it dices, it spews forth ground meats, grated cheeses, planed vegetables, handmade pastas, you name it; it does it all. (Of course, you have to have the requisite attachments, which, fortunately I do. They were, of course, birthday, and Christmas presents to myself. 😉
Recently, I have been so hungry for Italian sausage, or things made with it, that I searched the internet for recipes to make said sausage. We can buy it from Simply Sausages™ here, as you may remember, but it is too costly at the moment; especially since we have everything we need at hand.
So, while I make sausage, you stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones. I will show you how everything turned out. Next time.
Post script: a very happy 21st birthday to our first grandchild, Isaac, whom we love with our entire hearts.
