We Know How To Make Sausage!

So....Ryan and I are in this fun little Supper Club with a few of our friends. The idea is that every few weeks we get together and make amazing food and eat it. The hosts pick a theme and everyone has to make a food to go with that theme. It's alot of fun and a good chance for those of us who like to screw around in the kitchen to really "bring it" and impress our friends.

Well, this last time, we hosted and picked "things on sticks" for the theme. I'm not one to brag (yeah right) but Ryan and I took the blue ribbon. Or we would have taken the blue ribbon if we were giving out blue ribbons.

Anyway, the fact of the matter is, we wanted to make corn dogs from scratch. But to up the ante, we decided to first make our own sausage, and then make our own corn dogs from that sausage. That involved talking to butchers, getting hog intestine, purchasing a cake decorater, and driving across town for Grade A Meat. This video is for your viewing pleasure.



The other food at the Things on Sticks Party was pretty amazing too. The Mason's brought a plate of delicious little heart attacks on sticks (Aaron loves to wrap things in bacon) for appetizers, and the Rupps provided an array of impressive alcoholic beverages and desserts on sticks. All in all, it was a great success.
