looks like hemp

 

[MaxStout]

Both hemp and marijuana are Cannabis sativa. The difference is the THC content. Hemp contains <0.3% THC. And hemp can have buds, so the presence of those isn't the distinguishing factor.

did not see the smiley face until I scrolled up into it. Still cant figure out if the the round ones are potatoes, mushrooms or meatballs.

Stubby Italian sausages and new potatoes

I know several stubby Italians, but I never got a close up view of their sausages.

thanks @Jayjay1976 , now what's the deal with the stubby sausages.

Those are spicy fennel sausages that come in half lengths, Abruzzese style maybe? We like the stubbies for grilling and then simmering with tomatoes and peppers. The grilled potatoes we mashed up with cream cheese and scallions.

We're not Italian or anything, just love pork and fennel. In Chicago it really isn't even an ethnic thing. I've been buying the gear to start making sausages, pork sausage with fennel and juniper is absolute tops on our list, lightly grilled and then sous vide until tender. 'Gin rillettes' so to speak.

I bought a meat grinder attachment for the KitchenAid and then picked up a used cast iron sausage stuffer, the stuffer is missing the locking collar that attaches the stuffing tubes to the body. As soon as I locate one of those I'll be in the sausage business

^ I was thinking they might be home made or something.

It gets worse!!!!!! This is my distribution box over my leech field.

Then finally after much time with the high pressure jetter we got all 3 pipes cleared out. Gotta stop harvesting yeast and put it in my septic.

[bailey mountain brewer]

Trust me neither did I, but I do now, and I put a riser on it so I don't have to destroy my yard next time. Which hopefully will be a really really really long time from now.

Well I didn't strike oil...

 

[day_trippr]

One can only wonder how functional the leach field is at this point. Was it draining back to the D-box?

 

[Snark_Wolf_Brewing]

We're not gonna make it, are we?......

A Fuego grill! Has your heat diffuser burned up yet?

The diffuser is disintegrating as we speak. It's a real POS, the claimed temp range and heat up speed are total BS.
