Each December the Taverns get together to make potato sausage, which will be served at the family Christmas celebration. This is a tradition that started a long time back with Christopher's great grandparents. His Dad, Mike, can't remember a Christmas without potato sausage. Mike has many memories of making the sausage with his grandparents and parents. A few years back, Chris and I began helping in the tradition. It is quite the production to make and we come home stinking of onions, but we love knowing that we are carrying on something that is important to Christopher's family.
Waiting to begin the mixing, by hand, of the ingredients.
If raw meat grosses you out, you better skip the next photo...
Peeling potatoes...
After the job is finished, we always have potato sausage for dinner as a taste test. Chris and I waiting for dinner to be ready.
Leila doesn't like helping with any bit of it...yet. Her only job of the evening it to choose which Christmas movies to watch. Pretty good deal I think!
