Cooking With Tam - Deep Pit Cooking



Nicole and I want to have a big Thanksgiving party Nov 18th. I don't have a big oven. I thought I would try cooking either turkey or chicken in a fire pit. If you wrap the turkey well with aluminum foil and put it into a pan with a lid on it, then it will not get dirty. You can cook it over night (12 hours) and it is suppose to turn out great. I like marinating my turkey in brandy for 3 days in the refrigerator. This leaves a very good flavor, and the meat falls off the bones. My birthday is this Sunday. I’m a little too tired to plan anything big for Sunday. We will be working on the greenhouse all weekend. But I think I would love to have a big American Thanksgiving. It’s not a holiday in Germany, but we can all thank God. We also want to raise a little money for Send a cow in Africa. They do agricultural development with poor families. So we will eat a big meal,and also help poor farmers in Ethiopia feed their families.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
