What is the sound of one hand clapping?  I’m not sure, but here’s what it looks like when two fat guys make sausage.

There were more people there than just Isaac and me, and I did far less work than Nathan who is not pictured because he was probably manning his homemade smoker in the backyard.  The one he made out of two 50-gallon drums.  You know, the one next to the garage.  The garage with the home-fucking-brewery inside it!  Yeah, that one.

Last week, Meagan and I drove down to Puyallup to spend the day making sausages and drinking a bunch of VERY good beer, most of which was made by either Isaac or Nathan.  The boys are giving the homemade meat-treats as Christmas gifts to their families this year (who wouldn’t love some some pork on xmas morn’?), and they apparently have Duggar-sized families as we processed roughly 55 pounds of pig with 45 still left for another day!*

We had an awesome time.  Nathan even roasted some lamb and potatoes on his Weber out back for dinner!  Those guys really know how to throw down, and on top of everything, they and their wives are high-quality people!  Meagan & I look forward to more good times with these fine folk.

I also would like to mention: if you fancy yourself a mature person, go ahead and spend 5 minutes making sausage, and I guarantee you will be giggling like Beavis & Butthead before you know what hit you.  There are so many sexual euphemisms involved in every step of the process (“stuff your pork,” “handling your meat,” and “smoking the sausage” are only a few) that you’ll want to call your mother and apologize when your finished.

*SEXY UPDATE: I talked to Isaac yesterday who claims that he & Nathan cranked out another 70 (!) lbs of sausage 2 days ago.  I’ve never even heard of so much meat! These guys really love their sausage…
