Laws vs Journalism vs Sausage making. Go for the Sausage!

A long time ago on Instapundit there was a comment about laws and sausages. On behalf of Mike I objected to the statement about sausage, leading to this funny statement from Glenn:

How bad have things gotten? Bad enough that when you compare journalism to sausage-making, people write in to defend sausage-makers!

That was seven years ago. Elsewhere that statement has been made over and over again by people who have never seen sausage made. Today we are going to Solve that Problem

Mike Romano Your Local Butcher for 4 decades.

This is Mike Romano of Romano’s Market and this post and all the videos that follow is all about how his sausage is made. I’d like to thank Mike for letting me film him during his weekly sausage making.

We come through the door and say Hello:

Now that things are sort of back to normal it’s back to the end of the month church breakfasts. We have them the last weekend of each month. You might remember this church from Robert Stacy’s articles at the American Spectator:

That was a lot of people over two masses but that wouldn’t happen without the people who do the heavy lifting at the 8 a.m mass…

They put up with people like me…

And at the 10:30 mass.


One of the great things about something like this is how it is an equalizer. At a coffee in like this there are no rich or poor, or old or young parishioners, there are just all the people in the same church who are part of a single community. In a time when people don’t even know their next door neighbors this is something that we could use more of.

If you don’t have something like this at your parish consider starting one.

Update: One small clarification, there was also food served after Saturday’s 4 p.m. mass including soups and meats.

Since I haven’t done a recipe for a bit I figured I’d do a quick film on last night’s dinner. Our menu is boneless pork chops from Romano’s Mkt. The video is a little shaky since I’m filming with one hand while I do everything else.

Initial mixing and coating:

Beef coated Pork in the oven

Add the Beef

Cook the Alfredo:

And everything is cooked!

Here is my wife’s completed plate, she had already raided the salad.
