I have a place I take my game meat to, and every time I do it comes out perfect. No variation between batches, as these folks have it down. Northwest Sausage and Deli is great. Every time I take my sausage someplace else, it doesn't work out. Either they screw with me, or it just doesn't turn out the way I like it. One time I gave them my meat scraps during the deer season and after 3 weeks I called, said it would be another 2 weeks. We played this game for a while, when finally 6 months later he said he'd have half of it ready by the weekend. I told him where he could put the sausage, and I never picked it up. This year I had set aside some elk scraps in case I wanted to do something different, and I found a place that does my favorite sausage, Land Jaeger. I bought a pound from the store, and it was great. A few weeks later I tried another batch, also great. I took in 52 pounds of scrap a week or so ago and had them make me some. Spent $200 on the processing, and it looked great! Took a taste, and it was nothing at all like what I had tried. The mouth feel (texture) was perfect, looked great, but it just didn't taste anything like their retail product. I know that game meat has a different taste, but the difference wasn't due to that. Not going to trash them publicly, so don't bother. I'm at a loss with what I should do with it. |
That place looks really familiar... I think it's a 'believe it when you see it' kinda deal |
Don't count on anytime soon until they figure out what is going to happen with the exit. |

Yeah, You can't beat the meat you get from Dick. Beer is great, especially the seasonals. It that the Porno/Park-n-Ride exit? That'd be handy. Porn and meat, all at one exit.  All that is missing is midgets and sheep.I think I remember the sign pointing to Hwy 6 being a few feet under water. Wonder what the water level was like over on that side about December 6th? |
No, I think its exit #81, mellen street |
From here.
No money to rebuild, but are going to improve it. |
Again, believe it when you see it. They are supposed to begin tearing out the sewer plant across I-5, (pictured in your google earth photo above) this coming spring. This is all part of some pretty complex political strategy between local, state and fed .gov. Keep in mind that this isn't just a matter of votes or political influence. Highways or interstates are exactly & precisely like laws.... due process, litigation, tax funding, and pressure all come in to play. Once construction begins, trust ALL ducks are in a row. Bottom line; This is big money. The brewery and guys like me, aren't. |
