Okay, I know I've been away since about 2011, May?
Was it that long?
Anyway I've missed you lot and after all I did ask for my original username to be banned as I couldn't get on with a member here, water under the bridge I hope.
Good news and bad news, I was ill/am ill for some time, recent diagnosis to be confirmed on Jan 8th is very aggressive cancer, spine and lungs, gave me 3-6 months but that was a couple of months ago and to cut a long story short a biopsy may show TB not cancer, I don't know yet, it's something they have to rule out and is a long story.
Anyway, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands not being able to work, lost 2 stone in a couple of months, 1 stone of that in 6 days but I'm putting weight back on since they took me off fentanyl patches and put me on oxycontin and oxynorm for the pain control, my appetite is back!
So, because of the pain, I have 2 fractured vertebrae in my back apart from anything else, I can't make sausages, can't handle the grinder but I decided sod it, not made a banger in two years so I used a credit account I have to buy some bits, not the best I know but I'd appreciate any feedback on the bits I've ordered to help me in my banger munching enterprises.
I bought these two items,
http://www.isme.com/kenwood-km330-class ... 565472.prd
http://www.isme.com/kenwood-at950a-minc ... geNumber=6
I know it's not top quality kit but my credit would allow it and I've always liked Kenwood, just wondering if anyone has any good or bad news/experiences of these as it's the best I can do at the moment financially and the whole lot cost me £170, I only want to make 3-4lb of sausages at a time and my first planned is Italian sausage with no filler.
I know you're probably going to tell me the kit is crap but I've ordered it now and want to get the best use out of it so any tips would be welcome.
Cheers
Andy
