What's on the spit pilgrim?
« on: June 25, 2011, 09:38:00 PM »
The Compton Rendezvous is over for another year but the memories will linger.

This was at our camp on Saturday night. This rig was purchased from the blacksmiths that were set up on the grounds. The fare is, A leg of lamb on the rack and pork loin on the spit. It fed a dozen people with meat left over.

Makes you wanna say, "What's on the spit Pilgrim....grown particular?"

One of my favorite movies; just bought for $5 in a bargain bin.  That pic is making me drool; I can literally smell the meat cooking!

Hope that Lamb stayed rare!  Looks good but I'll bet it tasted even better!

Mason and I watched it yesterday too..... again, for the 150th time. That is one of the best parts of the movie. Mason can quote the ending of that scene where Chris is mounting up to leave and telling Jeremiah, " March is a green, muddy month down in the bottom, farmers like it mostly....."

That is one nice setup you got there from the Compton blacksmith Ron. You are fully outfitted for any kind of vittles a man could want around a fire now. I need to get him to build me a fireplace tool set one of these days. All the stuff in stores is cheap Chinese junk.

Do you by any chance happen to remember the blacksmith's name? Possibly a website?  It does seem to be on the opposite ends of the spectrum... that is a blacksmith having a website.   :)

As good as that movie is, the book is even better if you ever get a chance, read it.

The book is much richer. Less a hero more a man, that life threw a curve.

One description that stands out for me is him making a bivy in the snow -under a skin I think. He loved his wife.
