Used up the last of the potatoes from this years crop and made a big roast dinner for the family tonight, all the trimmings home made yorkshire pud n home made gravy , plus some stored veg from the garden this summer. I am stuffed full and can't move a lot.
Sent dinner down to the in-laws, as they can't do much cookin themselves anymore, and hope it makes up for the cakes being too strong

BIG THING IN OZ IS THE MAN'S SHED, ONE WITH THE LOT IS THE BEST, but fridge and chair is just cool. had an old big armchair with roller skate wheels on bottom lol sure used to scoot down hill.

Nice... A fridge is on my list, one of them small ones... And a coffee maker

Not that I get all that much time out there, but it's nice to have that lil'
Quiet area to gather your thoughts for ten minutes.... And indulge in a nice doob, of course:)

Rain again.

Got the missus stepson and baby to sleep early tonight, needed a bit of chill... This week at work is so busy right up to christmas. had some hard jobs and still got some to come.
So, I got a takeaway in, bribed me stepson, ran the missus a bath an had me a hashcake n spliff.
Always seems nicer to get high when I know they are all tucked away for the night , think I may go in and watch a little South park before waking baby b for her bottle... Must head to the what are you watching thread!

Last day of work for the week.... Think I got Monday in too then break for Christmas. I have saved a few grams of each jack pheno for Christmas day, but have finished off my crop other than that.... Got some nice blue cheese for later tho :)
The boss is taking us out for our Christmas meal tonight, it's kind of 50/50 whether I go for the mixed grill or the massive 32oz burger.... Hmmmm

Fuck em indeed!
That is just wrong.

Glad you got a good supply in for the holidays, I am planning a good outdoor crop this year so I will hopefully be more than set next Xmas.
I was going to make some more hash cakes, but the guy who got the black hash for me just cheerfully told me he has soapbar.... No fuckin thanks

Ran out of the blue cheese tonight and was too late to get more so I had a sneaky dip in the xmas jar.... Feels like I sneaked a present early or something:)
Must say its curing up nice.

Damn windy tonight, the shed window is rattling a bit, hope it don't break on me could do without any more stuff to do for the next few days... Our front door handle snapped clean off this evening making it impossible to get in ( probably the best way round I suppose) so I got to get n fit one tomorrow, not to mention all the xmas festivities
Got my big ass turkey and lump of ham today, I will be cooking most of the day on the 25th, with the odd shed visit thrown in.

Mrs b sorted all the presents etc bless her saved me doing the dreaded xmas shop... One of the benefits of marriage I think!

Get a charcoal smoker and cook your ham and turkey that way. Not only does smoked ham and Turkey taste great but also since it pretty much requires being done outdoors you can set it up by the shed and not have to make any excuses to go out to the shed. Plus it's also a good way to avoid the company you don't really want to be around without being rude. :)

Good plan , prob a bit late for this year but its logged away for next time. I bought the ham ready smoked but had never considered the turkey.... I did think about brining it, but I have never done this before and didn't want to wreck the bird!
Quite lucky as far as unwanted visits go, we are getting those out the way on christmas Eve and boxing day.... Just going to see the in-laws xmas morning then we are free :) I'm gonna glaze the ham n peel the potatoes on xmas eve to save some time.
Baby brunches first christmas dinner as she was only 1 month old last year... She's a bit of a carnivore like me so she will love it- turkey, ham, sausage and bacon at the same meal

At least the weed was worth waiting for... Got me some blue cheese x sour diesel, nice n tasty and saves me hitting the already dipped into xmas bud.
Gonna get my hair cut short tomorrow, as I have let it get a bit bushy ... Don't want the oven to burn it off when cooking xmas dinner... Hope baby b don't freak out

Brining not difficult. Just salt and water. Let it soak overnight if possible.... but even 3-4hours will help.

Makes the meat hold water better. Good things...

I do like this bud , dangerously tasty... Would love a clone of it. You can taste the blue n cheese but the sour d twangs the taste buds too, nice balance. I Am looking at a nugget and smoking a demon cigarette at the moment but will be wrapping one up as soon as I get baby b to bed. Then it's off to the shed with me

The only thing about smoking turkeys is that if you get one of any decent size (20+ pounds) then be prepared to smoke it all day. I did one a couple of years ago that was over 20lbs, I started it around 10am and 12 hours later it had still not reached the desired internal temperature. In a situation like that though you can always finish it off in the oven. That's what I did and after an hour at 375 it was finished.

A shed is for life, not just for Christmas.
Glad that's all out the way for another year .... Don't get me wrong I love all the food , smoke and people enjoying themselves but I'll be happier when it's all back to normal.
Got to get me a heated prop. As I want to stick some cuttings out here for my guerilla this year, just got to decide on an early outdoor strain that'll do me proud.... Would love to be smokin a good outside crop this time next year.
Pissin down with rain here again, the missus is hoping for snow, but that might fuck up the work situation for me so not so keen on the white stuff myself.
Roll on 2015!
