Food and Blades

El Salvadoran for lunch - Pupusas (Mixtas, Chipilin and Loroco), Pollo a la Parrilla and juices - Tamarindo and Maranon.
Mixtas is pork/beans/cheese
Chipilin is a leaf like spinach (for lack of a better description) and cheese
Loroco is a flower, again with cheese.
Maranon is cashew-apple
 
DROOLIN'.... Do tell Dave....Killin' me here.....😁
The sandwich is Mrs Horsewright' s sourdough grilled on the flat top with thin sliced roast beef cooked in au jus also on the flat top and topped with cheese. Then piled thick on the sourdough and sliced in half. Something quick and easy for our crew Saturday evening.

We'd been moving the west side fence of our corrals over to the east about 20 ft. It was a BIG job and we had a good crew. This would open up another driveway for access to the property. Prior to that we had to haul saddles and tack back and forth from the tack room to the trailer. Now we have a circular drive kind of deal.

Now we can drive a truck and trailer and stop right in front of our tackroom to either load or unload. The original road was always there it just wasn't wide enough to accommodate a truck with a trailer. So we simply didn't use it. We've been here 15 years and finally got around to it.

The knife is just a bought blade (I don't do serrations), from a big knife makers supplier. I handled it in box elder to match the kitchen knives I have made Mrs Horsewright. Made a pretty good bread knife.

Let's call this a Vada Pav on the train from Bombay to Goa...... Pork, lamb, beef blend; green chilis, tomatoes, curry powder, cayenne and ginger. Can't do a Portuguese roll, so whatever, it's GF. Raita of yogurt, chilis, tomato and lime. Coriander and tamarind chutneys. Beef tallow fries, for inside.
 
Alabama gulf coast shrimp and oysters po’boy.🍤🦪Fried okra and ‘tater fries on the side. I added loads of remoulade sauce and crystal hot sauce. And removed the onions. (I love red onion but not on my fried seafood sandwich.)View attachment 3236603
That looks amazing - even without the David Mary David Mary (I bet it makes it taste even better though)
 
Date night out - 79 and balmy with no humidity - real "Chamber of Commerce" evening:

Jain style spring rolls (the carrots were on the side, so it counts....)

Very un-Jain mains

Crying Tiger and beef Pad Kee Mao - and dessert

Passionfruit Paloma ice and black cherry custard.

Didn't need the knife at all......

Somehow the word “fence” doesn’t do justice to what I’m seeing. Looks like something that could stop a herd of buffalo followed by a herd of elephants! Sandwich and knife look somewhat more than normal items as well!

Looks fantastic, Dave. Nothing like completing a BIG project to your satisfaction after years of planning. Bravo to you and Mrs. H and your hardworking crew! 👊🏻

Thanks! Yeah it's stout that's for sure. The guy that built this place a few years before we bought it worked for the railroad. I think many of the ties might have fallen off the back of a truck or something. Oilfield pipe used to be given away around here. Not anymore, very popular for fencing and even stronger than the ties if welded well. The whole perimeter fence around the property is this railroad tie and oilfield pipe combo.

Yes sir we've been ticking the boxes off. The arena and now the drive. It's coming together. Eventually we want to replace that retaining wall that shows up in some of the pics. It was just never done right. Had to trim the cottonwood some too:

Taylor wouldn't take any money but he would let us build him a belt for this buckle he had.

The flag part of the buckle is a folder:

If you ever need any railroad spikes, to make a knife or three, let me know. 😉
