 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2      pounds        ground meat -- room Temperature
    1/3  cup           onion -- finely chopped
  2      teaspoons     fresh parsley -- finely minced
  2      teaspoons     salt
  1      teaspoon      sage
  1      teaspoon      dried basil -- optional
  1      teaspoon      dried marjoram -- optional
  1      teaspoon      chili powder
  1      teaspoon      black pepper
    1/2  teaspoon      ground red pepper
    1/4  teaspoon      dried thyme

In a deep bowl, combine all ingredients, using hands if necessary.  On
wax paper, shape and roll mixture into 2 logs 6 inches long and 2 inches
in diameter.  Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, slice the rolls into rounds about 1/2" thick and fry in a heavy
skillet over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until done.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

An alternate way to prepare sausage is to shape mixture into 50 large
marble-size balls.  Freeze if desired.  To serve, bake frozen on a rack,
starting in a cold oven for 20 minutes at 325.
