Cool and wet again today.\u00a0\u00a0 At least to start. It rained here most of yesterday, going from storm to drizzle to storm to steady rain, back to misty drizzle throughout the day.\u00a0 I’m hoping that it will dry out a bit later.<\/p>\n
My smoked turkey was a success.\u00a0\u00a0 It was done earlier than expected, so we ate earlier.\u00a0\u00a0 I thought I’d be short on wood for the smoke but I had plenty.\u00a0\u00a0 Shredded pecan stump works great.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s been a few years so I am happy it went well, and I will do more smoking soon.\u00a0\u00a0 The stuff will stay up here and\u00a0 I should be able to do little jobs while watching the fire.\u00a0 Both the turkey and the pork ribs had beautiful ruby red flesh, a good half inch deep or deeper and tasted great.<\/p>\n
I didn’t get much else done, but I did get some (very) small things off the list.\u00a0\u00a0 And importantly, my wife proved we can do a big meal from scratch up here despite the work zone conditions and very small oven.<\/p>\n
And hey, we found a\u00a0 couple of things we haven’t brought up yet, like a small food processor, or an immersion blender.\u00a0 Or honey.\u00a0\u00a0 If we’re gonna keep making cornbread, we WILL need honey.<\/p>\n
Today I’m hoping to get back in the groove and make some real progress on the master bath.\u00a0\u00a0 We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n
And the next trip up, I’ve got to move a bunch of stuff.<\/p>\n
Everyone\u00a0 should be stacking whatever they can.<\/p>\n
