You can also gather that my taste in knives is questionable, but I don't care who knows it. I'm one of those people who is quite skeptical that you get what you pay for! 🤓 🤓



Pretty cool that you gents had teachers who worked on those famous archaeological finds! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

I would never question your taste 🤣
 
My little town of Loomis, California, for years and years has had a Day Before Thanksgiving Day Parade.
It's your typical small town parade with floats, cars, Santa and of course the marching band. Lots of small town fun.
Nice chilly morning and we enjoyed hot chocolate and coffee while we watched all the fun stuff pass by on the main street.

Thought I'd share a few of the pictures i took...








 
Very cool parade photos, John! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
That sheriff's car came from Colorado? Or does the "CO" stand for "County"? That would make more sense. At any rate, those old cars from the late 50s (?), when fins were fine, are fun.
You mentioned somewhere earlier today that this parade is "world famous", and I was thinking, "Yeah, I've heard of that!", but then I decided I probably heard about it here on The Porch in past years when you mentioned it! 🤓

Looks like a lot of fun John. We have a Halloween parade that has become quite an event around here. Usually 10 to 12 school bands all kinds of floats, lots of fun.
 
I dont know all the models of knives, nor the Knick names, or values etc.etc.etc.

So sending me terse messages with no information,photos or links is just a pain as I keep goggling to guess what you and you and you are on about.🤣
 
Was inspired by the conversation in the not too distant past to make some Yorkshire pudding. Made prime rib this year…first without a turkey for me 5889FC51-0400-4192-8C5C-D96461C1A142.jpegthis time…never tried the 7” cast iron…always the muffin pan. Had to cut some out and finish off the rest. Kept my weather eye on it - that stuff has such a fine line between undercooked and burnt to a crisp!FF2AD4C5-0B63-40AB-9FA8-0E73B32C0B1C.jpeghappy thanksgiving folks!

Yorkshire Pudding for 6

Yorkshire Pudding was originally served as a first course, to temper the appetite and make the meat go further. But crisply-made Yorkshire Pud is now - and with every reason - something of a delicacy. There are just a few rules: for a successful pudding you must (i) have the oven very hot, (ii)...

Hope this is related in good place in US newspapers, today for the firsttime a Great American Lady will be admitted in the Panthéon, the République's Hall of Fame.
Joséphine Baker was born in St Louis, became a dancer and singer and at 19 landed in Paris where she became a huge star (along her leopard). She married and acquired French nationality and bought the Mirandes castle in Dordogne (which she renamed Milandes because she could not pronounce it! 😉) that was to become an important place for the Résistance during WWII (and later a home for the 12 children from allover the world she had adopted).
Being menaced in her life she left for Morocco where she kept spying for Free France during her musical tours and joined the Free Air Force (sha was a pilot) in Algiers. She ended the war as Second Lieutenant.
Afterwar she resumed her career singing but too many debts forced her to sell the Milandes and was then hosted by another great American lady, Grace Kelly, who had married Prince Rainier of Monaco.
To people of my generation she was a true hero and after a petition was signed by the thousands, it was decided to admit her in the Panthéon today.
She sang many hits but the most famous will remain this one : J'ai deux amours - Two loves (my Country and Paris) !
In her funerary urn three handfuls of dust from St Louis, Paris and the Milandes.
