I thought the sausage recipe looked good too.
Also thought that you were the type to own Maytag products.
It is a relief to hear that yours did not fit the recall.
There is another hint, one that we all know and never do anything about.
We clean the lint trap in the dryer and go on, until there is a fire, for there is also lint inside the dryer cabinet and the hint that I read the other day, said drying time would be cut 20 %, if you cleaned out the vent hose and trap, where it goes outdoors.
I know when I had mine in the mobile, on the mountain, it was right by the back door and that exhaust held a lot of lint, I found out, when I raised the little door, to hide an extra house key there.

LOL, 3 years ago, I decided it was time for a clean sweep in the kitchen... (this is the part of the house that was originally built in 1762)
I took it completely down and rebuilt it... subflooring was needing repair, so took it down to floor joists... insulated all the plumbing really well, new subfloors, new flooring, new cabinets, new side by side refrigerator, LP gas stove, overhead microwave, new dishwasher, new countertops, even a 4 X 4 island/table/storage beneath with a fan/light .....
Of course I provided all the labor, and got some deals that I just couldn’t resist... Instant in store rebate on appliances, mail in rebate plus an extra rebate if you bought 4 Maytag appliances at the same time. Then there was the energy efficiency rebates... Cabinets were a discontinued model - but one we really liked, so they were on sale too. Oh, and the delivery driver even gave us a $50 discount since he had put a small (tiny) scratch on the side of the refrigerator. (which is up against a cabinet and you would never see it)
Well, all said and done, we now have a whole new kitchen for $4,300. All new Maytag appliances and a floor that doesn’t have soft spots and flooring with a lifetime warranty. By doing it ourselves, we figure that we saved between 2/3 and 3/4 what it would have cost to call a contractor and let them do it all and provide appliances...
