Unfortunately I'll be a late withdrawal "no appendage pun intended" I've been crook as a bucket of dog vomit all week. Hoping to be better by the case swap which I have been hanging out for yonks, but have only ended up getting worse instead. I have no intention of sharing the wealth with this and making you fellas sick especially this close to Christmas, I don't want to be known as "the prick who made me sick". So have a beer or 3 for me and hopefully I'll make the next one. :(
 
Murcluf: You're not even swapping? Surely you're not sick enough just to attend for the swap... or I'm sure one of the BBCers will do it for you. I like my weizens!

I'm coming down with a cold at the moment too... I just may drink a little less :eek:

Despite not being a weizen fan i still hope your beer gets a showing in the swap. Tasted several of your beers in the past and the swap will be better for you being in it...... not trying to suck up.... surely BYB, GMK or KHB can bring your swap case?

Looks like being a wet day. That wont be a problem as we have a big shed that will have some tables in for eating etc and the bar which is on the other side of the house. They are connected by a verandah meaning you can move between the 2 without getting wet.

Not so much fun for those planning on pitching tents!

Picked up a 3.5kg leg of lamb to share. :super: That will be put in the smoker the minute its up to temp with the aim of eating it around 2 (more likely 5 but i'm an optimist.... in my prime :rolleyes: wow, that was a really bad pun even for me)

Kenny - the bacon will be greatly appreciated, dont bring anything else, thats you covered.

Muckey - bread is welcome. Am sure we will go thru huge amounts of it.

Craig- brewers are more than welcome. K&Kers will have to put up with Wayne beating them up with a mash tun but am sure after they taste all the beer and maybe see a brew being done depending on how inspired we get he will be an AGer soon enough!

1 more sleep to go. :party:
 
Mmm....

If only you could smell it... and me too for that matter, my nose and taste buds are dead :(

Is that a food dehydrator? I am thinking at getting one to make jerky?? are they worth it....

Im sure there will be a few sorry and sore heads on Sunday
 
Yep that is a food dehydrator.. you can try some tomorrow and decide for yourself!
 
I love to go but im working 9 hours tomorrow and Sunday and i cant handle been sore at work like i use to
 
As the QLDers would say... HTFU! :)

Anything else I can bring? I'll have a load of dried steak, I can probably bring some supermarket snacks - chips/dip or some Charlesworth nuts or something. I'm not sure what everyone else is bringing.
 
It would appear with all this rain that most cricket will be called off, as such a few more may make it earlier.
Unfortunately I am not one of those this year (unable to attend this year), but I shall be signing up for next year without doubt.

I hope the weather clears up in the afternoon for you guys and gals. Its been a great thread to read of late, am sure you will all have a blast.

And drive safe and sober on those wet roads... ;)

Looking forward to reading up on the aftermath aslo... :p
 
Nibbles are prob sorted. Craig is catering for that (mostly) and i will b whipping up 2 big bowls of dip this evening. My partner has also bought some bread and dukkah. She also has plans on making pavlova - mainly to cater for the ladies attending who may prefer something sweeter or for any blokes who unashamedly like pavlova (raises hand)

Anything to add to the bacon and eggs for brekky (black pudding/tomatoes/mushrooms etc) and some bogan juice and/or powerade type drinks to rehydrate?

And for the uninitiated, this is Bogan Juice

Snacks are sorted. Several packets of excellent chips, several standard dips, a few packs of bread sticks, some good ol aussie beer nuts and what ever else I can rustle up before tomorrow.

Was planning on pitching my swag, but may settle for laying it in the shed. Would hate to float away in the middle of my drunken stupper...

Looking forward to this alot. I just hope my little boy lets me get some sleep in between now and then or I am going to be in trouble. At least this time I have a legit excuse. Unlike just blaming Sams Eisbock.

Cheers

heads up, i may indeed be crashing the night. my chauffeur my be bailing on me because of work. only down side is i'll still be up at some ungodly hour of the morning to piss of to my niece's indoctrination christening <_<

how are we on dippables etc?
 
Have fun tommorow guys.... mmmm golden ale on tap!

Mine is getting better each day! brewing it again on Saturday...
 
Craig has done a steller job on the nibbles front (should i save judgement for tomorrow?). We will have plenty of that.

Maybe a salad as Murcluf was bringing 2 salads so we are lacking in the veg department. Pref a potato salad. Think KHB is bringing an asian salad (cant be arsed going back thru this thread). My partner is making a simple tossed salad (homegrown lettuce) and her very popular mozarella/tomato and pasta salad altho she is upping the gourmet level so its now baby bocconcini instead of the moza. :p :rolleyes:

If anyone can bring some black pudding to go on the bbq for brekky i will be super impressed.

Mmmmm, full english breakfast. :icon_drool2:
