A bit of relaxation.

A successful day, if not over, nor did I take a complete break.  As soon as I put everything up I continued, washing the cast iron I wanted to season.  I didn't like the idea of putting it all in at once.  I would have had to stack everything.  Instead I put the dutch oven and lid in, with the lid at an angle.  I gave that an hour, after letting the heat rise for an half hour in the smoker.  I took that out at the hour mark after it went in.  I'm not sure that is enough, so it might go back in.  However, I did put the skillet and a placket in.  I just turned those.  I will check them in a half hour.  I may put the dutch oven back in for a bit when they are done.  Whatever.  When I feel satisfied with those I am going to cook some food.  Chicken drumsticks, I think, first off.  Ugh.  I may be taking the skillet, so eggs and other odd things are possible and much easier to fix.

The goal is to repackage the hamburger and steaks so as to have that which is going to be frozen, arranged in bags, and set, and that which I am going to practice with ready to go as well.  I want what meat is going to be flattened and hard frozen before I ever mess with adding dry ice.  I think a bit of styrofoam from packing should be good enough for the sides if I put the dry ice on top, which I am going to do for the hard frozen stuff.  For the ice mix I am not sure.  Simply, I want to see how well dry ice works with regular ice for sodas and such.  It seems a wee risky to me.  If the ice melts faster than the dry ice sublimates I can end up with a lot of frozen soda.  Sometimes, especially if they freeze at speed, cans can burst.  Possibly explosively, as they do in heat.  *pop, pop, pop, bang*  Messy.

My kit to create a kilt is in.  The material, ten or eleven yards by the yard, the sporran, and a large copper pennanular.  Hmm.  Still haven't found my engineering boots.  I'm not wearing fay shoes, not with this.  At least I have one outfit.  Maybe next year I will have two.  And it is mostly traditional, mostly.  Even with a few accessories.  Hehehe  I just realized, I am about to find out whether... they wear anything under there.  Hehehe  I was always curious.  Now I will know but I'm telling nary a soul.  I just hope the wind doesn't... give me away.  *grins*

The alarm went off so I checked out there.  The skillet and placket looked good.  I did go ahead and put the dutch oven back in, upside down.  That should fix any issues.  Hmm.  I'll give it another half hour, then check the other items.  A bit of a rub with paper towels, if they are cool enough, and in they go.  The dutch oven will be set out to cool.  If the coals look good I'll simply put a the chicken in and see how it does, rolling it every 10 minutes or... something.  Bleh...  Maybe I better watch it a bit more closely.  Later.
