Sat., March 6, 1937 - Finished rendering out the lard. Got all the meat canned except head cheese & liver sausage. Absolutely hot outside all day. Howard hauled the straw from Chris' old place. I helped unload it. Took Mom home tonite.
Sun., March 7, 1937 - Howard fixed a rack for the canner & partitions for silverware drawer. I canned 8 half-pints of head cheese & 4 of liver sausage. Leo, Nels, Raymond & Helen here this evening. We played cards & popped popcorn.
Mon., March 8, 1937 - Howard's Uncle Nels from Colorado, his dad, & Raymond were here for dinner today. I put the meat in brine this morning. Howard to lodge with Mike & Art.
I've heard family members talk about head cheese but do not recall anyone mentioning home-canned liver sausage. Sounds rather interesting, I must say.
I remember hearing of Uncle Nels of Colorado, but am short on details. I will have to do a little research. Is this him in the photo on the left with Grandpa Peter Iversen on the right?
