I’m a retired business consultant who was an operational/financial/IT auditor, expert systems/procedural witness for 52 court trials, managed/built data warehouses, installed/built both large and small systems and taught data mining processes while traveling to all states in the US and 20+ other countries. While traveling, I became interested in many different cuisines and then making them in the household. I became fed up with most sausages sold in “regular” stores and started doing it myself. Thus, I landed here among some of the best in that industry and learn something new each day.

Jonathon If you use a coffee grinder, do have a totally separate one for spices. Your family will attack if you use the same one used for grinding their coffee. Also, if you buy spices whole, bloom them first (roast until fragrant), then grind. Your taste buds will be rewarded.

twilliams Do remember this: If you do it from your heart, the stressed feeling will always be there. Even the best athletes/cooks in the world have that fuzzy feeling in their gut before any event. They’ve realized it comes from caring. When they lose that feeling, so does their game. Also, your worst efforts are usually the best for 98% of others. So, go out there and enjoy yourself. It will promote a bunch of quiet around the table. That’s what you’re after in the end.

TexLaw Agree with the large batches comment. I’m blessed to have a Vitamix for those jobs. But, before that time, the food processor did a fine job. I only use the coffee grinder for small jobs.
