Italian sausage
I love to have homemade Italian sausage in the freezer. We add it to spaghetti, meatballs, meatloaf, and many other things.

This was way back.. before fish tacos had become more or less mainstream fare you can find at almost any Rubio’s street corner dive. I remember that my first impression was of strange…
