  • Thanks for the ton of detail!

    I did not know about the sawdust terminology.

    Did you mean “add it to their sausage fare”?

    And can you let me know how Australia adds in sawdust? Like is it a lot more than other countries permit?

    I’m in Australia, and butcher bought snags here are considerably better than supermarket BBQ sausages.

    Par-cooking for big BBQs is a great tip, I’ve been thinking about this kind of prep, since the start of the year. Will give it a go.

    The Roman style chipolata sounds delicious, caramelised onion is a best-friend of sausages.

    Congratulations on making your own Lap Cheong too. First time I’ve heard about someone making it themselves.


  • Can you let me know any safe, home, dry-age options for curing?
    Or is it always best to discuss with a butcher to handle the aging?

    –

    Can you outline the big differences between sausages from a butcher, compared to sausages from a supermarket? (Is it really the sawdust/filler?)

    –

    Sous-vide settings/tips for steak?

    Can you sous-vide sausages? (Is there any point?)



  • On-Road Driving course.

    Learnt how to do vehicle checks, VPOWER.

    And in-cab pre-drive checks, name everything from left to right in the cab.

    Then went out weaved some cones, and practised hard braking on dirt at 80kmh.

    And crawling up a small hill at 45 degrees. Park on hill, engine off, gear into reverse, park-brake off, and then restart engine to idle back down.

    Pretty good day.








  • Yes.

    Teach as much independence as their age allows.

    Talk to them as an equal human, just smaller and less experience with things.

    Calmly narrate everything you do.

    Kids pickup on all this and the more they learn about how the world fits together, the more capable and confident they will be.

    Try to encourage solo investigations of things, or quiet individual tasks like painting.

    At 2 there is heaps of assistance you need to give. As the independence grows, your tasks may not get less, they just morph into something else.
