It's like Beirut here tonight with the November 5th fireworks, I doubt he'll be able to hear! :D

Oh yeah? Well Pennsylvania had municipal and judicial elections today.... So that's exciting.

I used my Tidioute Sheepfoot Charlow to get a package ready for the pay it forward thread, and to slice some turkey for a lunch snack.
 
Not quite as hard a workout as, say, building a raft, but I used my new soddie jr to cut up the empty wine box, and I actually used my new Boker to eat an apple and a grapefruit!
I've accelerated the patina on the soddie with 15 minutes in my celebrated trippin' tater treatment.

My Sheepsfoot Charlow helped me put together a healthy lunchtime snack...



...and frame poor old old Stan Shaw.

 
Between yesterday and today my Cuban stockman helped disassemble a bumper pool table and my Vic electrician helped put up more new wallplates than I care to count.
 
Used my Barkie Fox River to help a friend butcher an elk tonight:

And my #55 helped prep fixins for 10 lbs. of elk chorizo:

When I was a kid, and indeed when I first started work at 16, workers weren’t paid each month by bank transfer, they were paid in cash, in a wage-packet, each week. Traditionally, pay-night in Sheffield was Thursday, and on that evening, we had my father’s favourite, which was meat and potato pie. On Wednesday afternoons though, the working-class areas of the city, were filled with the aroma of ‘ash’, a poor man’s stew made from cheap cuts of meat and basic vegetables. Despite its association with the end of the week though, I barely know a Sheffielder who doesn’t love ash. Served with crusty bread and Henderson’s Relish, it’s still a very popular dish.



Making ash from time to time reminds me of my childhood, and of my roots, and I love it too. My Castor helped me out today, always a pleasure to use. I had to bring in the big guns to deal with a tough turnip. I also added some mushrooms, which my granny would have certainly frowned at. Keeping this dish simple is important, less is more, and you can always have another bowl ;)



I have to say that it tastes better than it looks here! :D
