SLT054: No Limits? Setting Limits to Simplify Your Life

by

Setting limits isn’t as popular in our advertising culture as buzz phrases like “No Limits”. When we think of “limits”, it’s typically in a negative sense. So, when setting limits on ourselves, like when we go on a bad diet, or a too tight budget, or worse, when someone or something puts limits on us, we think of it as a bad thing.

Simple Sausage Recipe

Mind you, I only make fresh sausage and don’t go for the cured or smoked kind at this stage of my life. Plus, the reason I make our sausage is so I know what’s in it, not because it’s easier or cheaper than buying it.

Ok, so here’s the simple sausage recipe Vanessa and & I used in the picture below:

Disclaimer: 1- I never wrote out a recipe before so don’t expect a step-by-step guide ready for a novice. I’m no chef. Heck, at this point in my life I’m lucky I have all my digits! 2- I know there’s probably a million other ways to do it, but (like my rifle), this one is mine. Read more…
