• Jan. 10, 2006 - Random Questions

Just some random questions I have been wondering about.

I have been reading about how pork is bad for you (see previous post) and it has raised some other questions:

Do any of you keep pigs not for food but for cleanup?

Can you make sausage with turkey instead of pork?(I am pretty sure you can but would like to hear from somebody who has done it)

Does anyone grow their own grapes to make jelly (without sugar) and if so approx. how much does one grape vine yield?

Does anyone here keep bees?  How much time and cost is involved with bees.

Thats it for now, I know I have more, but that will have to be for another post.

What kind of sausage? I have made two different kinds of breakfast sausage out of ground turkey. They were really good. :)

I sort of thought you could make sausage out of just about anything ... just use the right seasonings ... but I've never tried, we haven't branched out in to animals for food yet! I THINK the important thing is seasoning, am I wrong? Unless you want enough fat for gravy, then pig is your friend ... lol!

Thanks so much for your comments!
We'd like to keep some hives one day soon, and my hubby has read up quite a bit on it... we plan to visit a semi-local beekeeper soon to learn more firsthand. I'll have to pick his brain, take notes and do a post asap.;-)
