Each aubergine tenderloin weights a quarter pound when breaded and baked. Makes a full dinner with french fries, salad and poutine gravy, as poutine is rich and filling.

California Farm Bratwurst with gravy California Farm Bratwurst with gravy
No expensive equipment needed if you have a food processor or sharp hatchet. Whole pork shoulder is the perfect blend of lean, marbled and fresh bacon meat for bratwurst. The natural sausage casing is from Amazon, the hand sausage stuffer is a few dollars, the flavor is out of this world, you make a big sausage for $1.10. Dont forget to add 1 Tbs of buckwheat flour as a preservative. The pork shoulder bone makes excellent bean, lentil, pea soup. The gravy is to die for. This is our family recipe. -
