It all started on Hulu where we were watching the latest Master Chef competition with two teams competing to cook sausage sandwiches for 101 hungry bikers. It only took one shot of a grill full of plump spicy italian sausages to get my cravings going. It also just so turned out that we had a frozen pork loin and a meat grinder attachment that hadn't met each other yet.
I spent this afternoon looking up recipes and since it turned out we had all the ingredients in house, I got to work grinding my little heart out. I finished up the filling and we headed out to do some errands. One of these was to pick up the sausage stuffer attachment for our mixer.
Our first stop was Bed Bath & Beyond. My understanding was that this store was only in business because it sold random kitchen stuff (in the Beyond category). Apparently our sausage stuffer wasn't random enough because they don't carry that in stock. They could special order it for us though (no shit, it's called the internet I can special order it too). We left there defeated but confident that somewhere in this town of 1 million people a store would sell the key to my sausage making destiny...
Not so. The exhaustive list of stores we either visited or called is Target, Walmart, K-Mart, Kohls, Sears, Dillards, Macy's, J.C. Penny, and Home Depot.
For another shot in the pills we stopped by Chick-fila since our local store was giving out free milk-shakes today. That is except for me who could only walk away with a rain check because they were cleaning the milk-shake machine (of course they were *shakes fist towards the sky*).
So now we are left coming up with other ways to use our 4 lbs of spicy sausage filling. In the mean time, we wait for our $7 sausage stuffer to come via Amazon Prime. We probably spent over that in gas today.

That story made me sad Jae. Interesting that the meat grinder did not come with that attachment already. Hard to believe you could not find that anywhere. Sounds like a pretty disappointing food day
Update: This is what you do w/ 4 lb of sausage mix (thanks Jenny :))
* Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos
* Won Ton Wrapper Appetizers
* Wildfire Sausage Meatballs
Yeah loose sausage is pretty awesome too though! It sucks that your craving went unfulfilled. Practice up and give us tips for next year's sausage-fest. Location is still TBD.
