Deer or Elk Sausage

10 lb deer or elk meat, lean
10 lb pork, fresh, lean
3 oz water
1 oz pepper, black
3/4 oz ginger, ground
1 1/4 oz nutmeg
1/2 oz allspice
1/2 oz paprika
2 ts garlic powder
12 oz salt
1/2 lb dried milk
2 1/2 ts liquid smoke

Grind together the two meats, mix thoroughly. Add measured water. Mix
spices thoroughly and mix well into meat mixture. If sausage is to be
smoked, omit the liquid smoke. You may stuff sausage into casings, making
6-8" links, or make into patties for freezing. To cook, place in a frying
pan with a cover, adding water to the 1/3 mark on the sausage. Boil for 15
minutes covered, then remove. Drain most of the fat from the pan; replace
sausage and brown. Make gravy in pan after sausage done.

Homemade Baby Diaper Wipes

Homemade Wipes.... use if you have a little one in diapers (I do!) or just to keep handy for messy moments in the car.

Homemade Diaper Wipes

Supplies:
- Tall, round 3 Quart container with a lid
- Better quality paper towels (the cheap paper towels don't work well on a dirty bottom)
- Knife to cut the paper towel roll in two
- Baby shampoo
- Baby oil

Directions:
1. Cut a paper towel roll in half so you have two short rolls.
2. Set one roll inside the canister. Set the other half aside for next time.
3. Combine and stir together:
1 1/2 cup hot tap water
2 Tablespoon baby shampoo
2 Tablespoon baby oil
4. Pour the liquid mixture over the top of the paper towel roll. As the liquid soaks through, the moisture will loosen the cardboard center making it easy to pull out. If you get lucky, it will bring with it the end of the paper towel roll. If not, carefully pull on the wipes in the center to get the sequence going.
5. Pull out the amount of paper towels (from the center) that are needed. Reseal after each use.
6. If the wipes are not wet enough or the lid doesn't get put back on, just add more water. If the wipes are too moist, leave the lid off for a little while.

**If you are out of the diaper stage, these work great for cleaning up messy hands and faces when you are on the go. You can also use this mixture to re-wet purchased baby wipes.
