I wish I had something really interesting to post, but I thought it fitting to just say thank you to Austin and Jonathon and all the meatgistics users. This has been a great place for me to share ideas, ask questions and comment about my hobbies… Apparently, 500 times now

Been in the meat business about 10 years. I've worked as a retail meat cutter, whole animal butcher and on the harvest floor killing, skinning and gutting. I'm a professional deer processor and also do on farm harvests. Hobby sausage maker. Learning the curing and smoking process both commercially and at home. Women make great butchers because we choose the trade, we rarely inherit it.

Sandwich spread
Made some bologna sandwich spread last night. A very nostalgic treat for me. I first learned to make it from my grandmother. I’ve since made it with small differences at a couple of retail shops. Absolutely delicious IMHO
6# ground bologna
4 cups miracle whip
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups sweet relish
Prepared Horseradish to tasteI normally use less sugar and a healthy amount of horseradish as that is my preference. Simple and easily tweaked to personal taste

RE: not happy with new grinder
calvin No. People are trying to help you troubleshoot your issue. You have come to the wrong place to complain about a piece of equipment. You are certain that it is in no way user error and therefore, you should take your problem to customer service. Here is a place to ask for advice or share an experience, not get angry with people who are honestly seeking to help each other. Waltons has an extremely good reputation for customer service, I’m sure they would like a chance to talk with you about this. There is no need to treat this community poorly just because you are having a bad day. I can understand the frustration. We have all been disappointed with a purchase, but the intentions of others here are only to help. Please, keep that in mind next time.

RE: Summer Sale, let the shopping commence!
Today my in laws told my husband they were thinking about get us a meat slicer for our 10 year anniversary (this Friday). They said they looked at some on Amazon and I had to chime in. I said if you really want to get us one, we would love it. And then I directed him to the 10" from Waltons and the great summer sale. They ordered it and it is supposed to be here Friday! (Right on time too lol) What a nice gift.

RE: Gardening, canning, pickling and everything related
Denny O I start them about 6 weeks before the average last frost. Plant them outside after that (May 15th for me). Start hardening them off a couple of weeks prior
