Lol @ a few pigs! Yes, growing up here with all the Cuban influence, whole pigs is almost a right of passage. I have a friend in Ohio that I usually send 3-4 gallons a year since he cannot find it locally. So I guess it's a give/take type thing. No spotted cow but mojo at every corner! NEVER sleep on Cuban food! So many good meals! Probably my second favorite food to American bar b q! Typically I will open the mojo and let a whole garlic bulb (?) marinate in it a couple days before use. But I like making my own if I have ingredients readily available. Also if you ever have the chance to eat Peruvian cuisine, jump on it!

Good morning Badfishy.
I don't get exposed to a lot of Cuban food here but I love cubano sandwiches. Ive only had the mojo out of a bottle but I think I'll give making it a shot sometime. I'll also see if I can find a good Cuban restaurant around here so I can try some more Cuban food. Not sure if I've had any Peruvian food but I'm down to try it as well. I'm not super adventurous when it comes to food but I love getting exposed to new flavors and new ways to combine those flavors.
Im definitely not what one would call a 'foodie' but love to try new cuisine. I personally try to stick with things I'm familiar with such as beef chicken and pork variants. Won't catch me eating whack shit like monkey (offered to me multiple times in the islands). But have been known to eat squirrel on quite a few occasions. Weird how food is so regional. Also, not really sure if you eat seafood, but try ceviche if you get the chance. Many variants to ingredients, but it's always seafood cooked enzymatically by lemons. I don't like eating fish (due to job), but ceviche is amazing!

for sure, fiddy! i will follow up on the ricotta recipie if you forget
how awesome would that be awesome to make fresh pasta and then fill it with home made ricotta!
/and we will see if this is the year i finally make my first sausages!
the mrs and the girl are friends like no other!
she takes her to house parties and drops her off and picks her up
they talk a lot about the stuff she does and they have a really special bond built on mutual trust and respect
we get along great too and do our stuff, but there is nothing like her and mrs chicky
its funny beacuae the oldest boy will drive to my friends house so we can drink and last night my friend talked to us about offering the girl her own drink
i had mentioned how she had snuck several drinks the other night but i dident say anything about it at the time
ive never put celery in my chili but i will try that the next time i make it
i have fallen way behind on the burgers this year
so when are you guys heading up to the cabin?
a few friends went up to the mountains for the long weekend and invited us to go but the mrs had other plans for today so we decided to pass
with the heat weve been having this past week, i am looking fore ward to the fall
hope you enjoy your time with your family by the lake
its been a great week and this weekend is off toa great start
mrsChicky got up super early this morning so we went for an early morning walk in the canyon
it was super fun and the temps were tolerable at that early hour
schoopy looked nice, i will post up pics in a coming post
hope every ones holiday is off to a great start
lets all stay cool send out summer in style
Farther south bud. But always down for a drive for a colada! I've been going to the same place locally for 20 or so years daily when I'm in town. From the outside looks grimy as can be, but the people in the cafe are amazing. Take your local dive trashy biker bar and apply to breakfast/lunch cafe.
i kind of thougt you were in that area, fishy
the clincher was when you mentioned the cubanos and mojo crillo
/mrsChicky travels a lot so i ask her to bring me treats from far away
whenever she is down that way, i ask for cubaons
here in san diego, we have this sandwich called media de noche that is similar
but there is nothing like a good cuban
do you do a lot of caribbean cooking
you mention not eating fish because of your job, do you work on a boat?
i spent many good years in florida, down on the gulf side and the mrs lived around tampa for a while
man,those were some good times

man,those were some good times
so we were over at my buddies house on friday so i was able to take a look at the schmoopy
she looked like she was doing well overall, he has been feeding her lightly and watering like i suggested
i dident anticipate this heat wave or i would have told him to give her an extra clear watering if she needed it this past week
she definitely could have used it and he promised to water her the next day
other than a little heat stress, she look like she was doing really well
they look like they are setting flower really well at this point
im going to bring over some fox farm fertilizers for him to use during flower
i am going to pre-mix there for him so there wont be any guess work , just water lightly and then pour on the fertilizer mix
its cool because he is really stoked to have the girls over
he is already asking about hosting more plants after these finish
i have some rooted cuts i could get into buckets and maybe have them ready for go outside in about two-three weeks
but this late in the season im kind of thinking we will just call it good with this one plant and then plan ahead for nest year

Medianoche is always a good fall back. I don't cook much Caribbean tho do enjoy it. I leave that to the old Cuban ladies who have done that shit all their lives
I live a few hours south on gulf side also. But worked on a boat out of tarpon springs for a few years so familiar w Tampa and surrounding areas

Greetings jungle tribe.
Hello from the north woods of Wisconsin. Not much internet here so just want to wish everyone a happy holiday. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I will reply to posts when I can get somewhere with better internet. Have a great day and stay safe...Fiddy.

Yes the whole gulf coast from fl-tx is a special place dear to me lol.
Hey Jungle mates, hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday. I didn't do much. Smoked a pork shoulder over cherry wood. Came out fabulous, made pulled pork sandwich on Hawaiian sweet bread with some coleslaw.
Fiddynuts you have internet anywhere in the north woods is slightly saddening. I was kinda pissed when I had perfect internet and cell service when we went camping. I am perfectly happy limiting my electronics to the iPod. As long as I have music I am good.
It's finally cooling off some, can't wait for the fall. Football season starts this week so that's good. GO PACK GO!!!
Seedling are chugging along. Topped the fems, going to sex the regulars this week. Got my mendobreath clones they are in cups for a week or so. It's getting crowded In the closet now, I need to kill some males so I can make more room. I decided to run the seed plants in the small room while I veg and flower the clones of black triangle, LVTK, cherry sunshine, ghost og, and mendobreath in the big room. Gotta have something ready for Xmas. I have been ordering a few things at a time to upgrade the room. Still need to order so motorized backdraft dampers so I can get the temps up during the day .Also need to get a couple HEPA filters installed on my intake to keep the creepy crawlers out.
So I got a call today, starting work tommorow. It's a manufacturer of clean rooms for servers and such. So I will be productive member of society again. The wife is happy, so that is good.
Hope everyone is having a good start to a short week. To Floridian, Badfishy, and anyone else in the path of Hurricane Irma, be safe and hopefully you guys escape unscathed.

Hello tribe
Looks like Irma will go up the east coast most likely Floridian and Badfishy you may get off easy. We rented a house on St George next week I'm hoping to fish for flounder but may be running north if this thing goes up the west side.
I cut one of my larrys this week in the woods. Not a big harvest 150g wet so at least an oz from her. We are going away so I will take most of the others soon. Its a little early but some brown showing on the hairs. Since I haven't grown the Larry I can 't compare but the filtered light really makes a difference in density I think, my buds are fluffy.
Hey I keep looking for you guys in the party cup challenge, there is still time.

Good morning Badfishy.
I'm with you on the cow, pig, chicken. Growing up in the Midwest these are all very familiar to me and I am too chicken to try anything else. I'd probably give squirrel a try sometime. I don't really eat fish or seafood either. Being 1000 miles from the nearest ocean it's not easy to get good fresh fish or seafood so probably best to stick with land dwelling proteins. I'll eat a Wisconsin style fish fry a couple times a year but that dosent even taste like fish, just the beer batter it's fried in. Ceviche sounds really good maybe I'll get up the courage to try it sometime.
That cat5 sounds like a huge mess waiting to happen. The timing dosent sound good for you. Do what you must to keep the wife, kids and yourself safe. I hope it turns and you just get some rain. I'm sure you guys know how to deal with the storms down there. We are lucky to not have hurricanes here but get our share of tornadoes.

Good afternoon pop_rocks.
I'll post ricotta recipe today when I can find my cheese making books. It's really easy and you won't be disappointed. It's really good when fresh. Soon you'll be eating homemade ravioli with fresh ricotta cheese and homemade sausage.
That's great that the Mrs and girl have a good relationship built on trust and respect. A lot of kids have to sneak around and be dishonest about where they are going and what they are doing. I had to sneak around when I was a teenager and got in more trouble than I would have if I'd have been able to be more honest. Maybe that was part of the fun. That's great that your oldest is a good designated driver.
My mom always put celery in her chili that's why I think I do it. A few veggies are a nice contrast sometimes. The chili my bro made last weekend had carrots in it as well which was new. It turned out good.
I headed north after work and a quick stop at a buddies house warming party on Saturday afternoon. It started to rain on me as soon as I got on the road and I rode about the first 50 miles in the rain. The rain and traffic made for a slow start to the trip. I had to push hard once I got north of the rain to make the trip in 3 hours. I was 90-95 mph on the interstate and 85-90 on the 2 lane roads the rest of the trip and was allmost dry by the time I got there. Sunday was a beautiful day warm and sunny. The jetski broke right away so we mostly booze cruzed all day and swam. By Monday morning a cold front moved through and it got cool and windy. By Tuesday it was cold I don't think it got warmer than low 50's and was rainy. I think I got a little more taste of fall than I wanted but we made the best of it.
Schmoopy is looking good. She seems to be dealing with the heat nicely. Your buddy is doing a good job with her. That's great that he wants to do more. Sounds like he will want to to do a few more next year. My bro is stoked with his outdoor plants as well and we are going to do a few more next year too.
Im glad to hear your weekend went well. Time to transition into fall. Football season is just about here too. I'm sure it will be a little diffrent with out the chargers in town anymore. Funny I just saw an article today that said the NFL might be nonexistent in 20 years. They own a day of the week so that would be a strange thing, but the article was saying that the concussions and declining revenue might be the end of the league. I hope your week is off to a good start...Fiddy.

Good afternoon Packerfan.
I'm glad you had a great weekend. Pork shoulder sounds great. I like to put the slaw on top of the pork right on the sandwich. Every time I make a good butt I have pork leftovers for days and I figure out someting good to make it. I usually do some pork tacos and maybe a stir fry or fried rice dish.
Yep we have some internet up,there but it's really slow on holiday weekends when a lot of people are up there. I'm like you and just use it to stream music. Last weekend it wasn't even fast enough for music. It's allmost like the speed of an old dial up connection from th mid 90's.
I'm glad to here that it's starting to cool off a bit for you. That has to be a nice change. I'm looking forward to some football as well. I'm glad the packers play the afternoon game on Sunday, the early games are too early in my opinion. If I start drinking before noon the day is usually a complete wash. Early games don't allow enough cooking time either.
That's good your plants are doing well. I didn't know if I'd come back to find mine dead or not but they are doing well too. More about them later. That's interesting that you filter the intake air. It makes a lot of sense to keep the pests at bay. I suppose grow rooms are always works in progress, often upgrades to do and never fully done.
Congratulations on your new job. Construction is a good way to stay busy and make some money. Sounds like you will be busy with your new job and your grow. Happy wife happy life they say.

Good afternoon Rodehazrd.
Irma sounds like a whopper. I hope she stays off land and dosent do any damage. I hope she dosent mess with your vacation next week either. Get out of there if she heads your way. Get those flounder next time unless it's safe.
The Larrys are finishing quickly it sounds like. Fluffy isn't a bad thing necessary. I don't like buds too hard where you have to grind them to smoke. Most of the plants that were at my friends house were a little too fluffy but good for rolling joints with. Her other plant had good solid nugs on it. I think it was the late transplant that caused the fluffiness, the other plant was slower to flower and was settled by the time she really started flowering. I hope the Larry is tasty and potent.
Now that I'm back I'll be popping seeds for the party cup challenge in a day or so. I'm going with a couple auto flower plants and going to keep it as simple as possable. How is your entries doing now that they are in the wild?
