first batch came out great and was a huge hit.
second batch:
oh well. that was the last of the sausage but I have tons more bacon and dough, so will get some of those going during halftime.
I'd like to come up with a dipping sauce that's more viscous and doesn't drip as much as maple syrup. I tries whisking together maple syrup, flour, and butter but it didn't turn out too well.
might try some kind of guar gum or something.
