Minus 10F degrees with a minus 23F windchill, and 11 plus inches of snow. Now the plus side. There is a big pot of split pea and ham soup on the burner with corn bread in the oven for supper. Got a fire going in the wood burning stove, and there are 4 cases of beer along with a box of some kind of red wine in the basement. As long as I don't run out of firewood, I'm all set for the next couple of days.

Jack, I forgot to mention the homemade smoke sausage (we call them smokies) that are boiling, I'll throw an extra one in the pot for you.
Are you mushing over with dog sled, or just snow shoes?

I thought that maybe others may want to make smoked sausage too. So, here is the recipe:

5 lb lean ground beef
5 rounded tsp Morton a tender Quick (Warning, do not use any less.)
2 1/2 tsp mustard seed
3 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder (I double this)
1 1/2 tsp onion powder (I double this too)
1 Tbsp crushed rosemary (optional)
1 tsp crushed fennel (optional)
1 Tbsp cayenne (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, cover & refrigerate. Next day, remix thoroughly and refrigerate. Let set in refrigerator third day. On fourth day, form into five rolls, and smoke in Little Chief Smoker 12 hours. (I've tried several woods, and prefer hickory.). Sausage will form its own casing.
I store them in the freezer, and carry them unrefrigerated.

Got up this morning at 5 am and it was 8 degrees F outside. Decided it was a good day for chicken soup. So, got a big pot on the stove and will make some kind of bread to go with it. Oh yeah, we are supposed to get heavy snow today too.

The soup, Bob, the soup. I collect soup recipes.

I have a good one for "deer track soup". if you don' t get the deer, just gather up a bunch of tracks, and you can make a good soup with'em. I also have one for turkey or duck feathers, in case your winged shooting leaves a bit to be desired. :|

My guess is Jack would make a big pot of snow soup and ask for a glass of water to wash it down. :lol:
