I learned quite a few things after this salami-making experience, chief among them that you absolutely do not want to touch this stuff with bare hands.  It’s been a few days now and the skin on the tops of my hands is still stinging.  Note to self: next time wear gloves.

Hot Like Fire

But, what matters is that it’s done now and it’ll hang for a week before I get to begin the smoking action.  Hurrah!

Until next time…
