Christmas spit roasted goose with bacon, cranberry and herb stuffing
So there it was. Christmas. It came as quickly as a teenage boy, and then left feeling just as ashamed.

Smoky grilled chicken
I really do like a good yard bird. This is a good yardbird type experience. A smoking hot bronzed bird splayed out in front of you… so moist and ready for the taking… it’s good times. Euphemisms aside, if they should really ever be put aside, this is some damn tasty bird. If you can…

Christmas ham glaze and a tasty stuffed bird.
I’ve noticed shit is getting a fair bit Christmassy around the joint at the mo’. Like, really effing Christmassy. My smart brains told me that due to my little issue with finding time to hit this blog up at the moment, I should get onto some kind of Christmassy type post pretty fricking quick smart…
