TRDdrew's shop updates and improvements- The Cruiser Cottage (2 Viewers)

[TRDdrew]

No real updates, but plans for the new shop are slowly starting to unfold. I have my tree guy coming out to quote the 12 large poplars that need to come down

You are gonna love dealing with those Poplars.
Not as bad as Locust, but you will see suckers for a long time.

I had about 15 red oak that got bulldozed over when the pole barn was built. It’s 3 years now and I’m still cutting logs and splitting them. Luckily there was nothing in the way so he told me, don’t cut them, I’ll knock em down.

man i wish it was gonna be that easy

I understand your position as a matter of fact, as I look around over the course of the last few years, there are at least six other trees over hanging the pole barn by 40 feet or so since they are very large red oak trees. If I were to take the chance and knocked them down today with a chainsaw, unless I was quite precise, you know where they would land

@ceylonfj40nut it all about sharing. for anyone else looking to try it. I know what im doing this weekend, Thank you Sir

I have a 36” griddle. Looks like you may have the 24”. Tried to scale it 24”

1) 3 cups basmati rice. 1 day old kept overnight in fridge
2) 2 bell peppers finely diced
3) Medium sized onion anf 4 garlic cloves finely diced
4) 1 bunch parsely finely diced
5) 1 bunch cilantro finely diced
6) 2tbsp Gochujang paste
7) 2 tbsp cumin
8) 1 cup soy sauce
9) 1 serrano pepper finely diced
10) 9 eggs
11) butter
12) 1 packet bacon finely diced

-Take rice out of fridge, evenly pour soy sauce on it to soak

-Place 1/4 stick of butter on one quarter section of heated griddle and place soy sauced rice on top of butter and break it down some
- Take bacon and place on one 1/4th quadrant and get it crispy
- place 1/4 stick of butter and place it on 1/4th quadrant of griddle and pour cracked eggs and let it firm up so it stays contained, add salt to taste
- on last quadrant add 1/4 stick of butter, bell peppers, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, serrano, cumin, gochujang and sautee

-Turn each quadrant separately until ready, then mix it together with a burger spatula until evenly mixed

- once mixed, pour 1/2 cup of water into it and let it steam

Take it off the griddle. Piehole time.

Gave @ceylonfj40nut fried rice a go and came out awesome, I'm loving this Blackstone. Washed the wife's Avalon and the 80, took the Avalon to the shop and put some new tires on it and a alignment. Great deal through tireracks close-out section, Pirelli P Zero all seasons for 123.00 a tire with my account. They said they were close-out due to 2022 date code but when they showed up they had a 24 date code! I'm calling that a huge win. Productive weekend hope everyone else enjoyed theirs
