December has flown by so fast! Can't believe it is almost 2016! So, here are some farm cooks from the past month.
Double smoked a ham one weekend and served with scalloped potatoes and green beans.
My cheese sauce for the potatoes.
The ham after cutting off the bone. Bagged it up in three different bags for use later.
This past Saturday I smoked a chuck roast and gave dirtsailer2003's no boil mac 'n cheese a try in the Dutch Oven! LOVE IT!! So easy and I really like the convenience of not having to boil the pasta.
On the chuck roast, I tried Smoke Freak's A's Beef Rub that he sent me back in the summer. Craig, I'm really sorry it took me this long to try it...I had "misplaced" it in the house and came across it last week.
But we really enjoyed the flavor of it on the chuck! 
Thank you for the sample!
Gave the chuck some smoke and then foiled it in a pan with potatoes, carrots, and celery...forgot the onion.
Saturday was a little cool but other than that it was a gorgeous day!
I have one bird feeder about 25 feet down the hill from the cabin that attracts ALL sorts of critters. 3:30 in the afternoon and a small doe comes to eat...music is loud and we are not being quiet either...she doesn't care at all and stays about 15 minutes munching on bird seed. About the same time on Sunday she came back.
OK, time to get the mac 'n cheese going. This is in a 10" shallow Dutch oven. Baked with 7 on the bottom and 14 on top. Baked until the pasta was done then added more cheese on top, more heat on top and baked until cheese melted, gooey and the way I like it!
And I also recently made a small pot of barkonbutts cheesy potato and smoked ham soup. That stuff is just delicious! My pot is about 1/4 of his recipe.
My birthday was the first weekend in December and a couple of friends showed up that Saturday with presents! An old 12" cast iron skillet with some rust but not much and an old rolling pin (no pic). I gave the skillet a quick soak, scrub, and seasoned it a bit. It cleaned up pretty nice but I still have some work to do on it. There are no markings on it except a raised "12" on the handle.
Thanks for looking!!!
