Cupcake's Bitch Barn

Our big surprise finally arrived this week. We ordered the BB in June, construction was complete the first week of August, but mother nature kept the rain on the road until this week. 

 We ordered a shed from the Pine View people a few years back, and turned it into the Slanty Shanty for the birds. After the ponds were done last year, we've planned on a little cabin down by the water to serve as a base camp for get togethers and shindigs and whatnots.

This time instead of off loading it from the trailer, they set it off in the driveway, then hooked a fork lift looking vehicle to it, and transported it to the spot.

Our next plan for the BB is to have a ten foot deck built on the front to give us plenty of room to entertain. So if anyone reading does deck work, or knows someone who does, reach out.

Before we got the BB in, we did something we've never done before. Lawman was inspired by a high school buddy a few weeks ago to try lamb. Lawman has had lamb many times when he lived in the People's Republic of Maryland, Greek food is a thing up there. But he's never cooked lamb before. We found a boned leg of lamb at BJ's last week, and he decided to try and smoke it. Research was done on proper temperature and marinade. 

It only had to get to 145* internal, so it only took a few hours to cook. Lawman took it off and let it rest for a few hours prior to slicing.

It was tender enough to cut with a fork. We enjoyed it quite a bit, but not as much as The Dudley Twins. While it was resting, Augustus got his head stuck in the door while trying to get inside.

We had enough left over that we could supplement their dry food with a little chopped up lamb meat. And Willow being the little helper that she is, picked up a pear while she was out in the yard one evening and brought it back. So lamb and pear one day.

To celebrate Cupcake's new Bitch Barn, she requested a choco cake with choco icing. Lawman found a recipe for cream cheese chocolate icing and made it from scratch to go on the scratch made cake.

He won't win any cake decorating contests, but it sure was good.

We ended the week with wings.

And a nap.
