Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I think they're a very practical garment I had mine made from tweed with 4 pockets, it's a nice warm layer under my Barbour

Ahh now that sounds more like the thing I'm thinking about. Of course you had yours custom made didn't you. I was thinking the sort of waistcoat that had the satin back to it. I've not yet found a waistcoat that is made of the same material front and back; not even in the country outfitter type stores I've been in oop in Yorkshire.

From what my daughter told me the medical campus was a way out of Liverpool. She enjoyed it there, and she's pretty soft that one. I'd feel sorry for the scousers if my youngest two had gone there!

Crikey!

That's what I'd always thought David I may have told you this, but I was visiting my home town of Sheffield on Yorkshire Day, and asked for a scone in a rather poncey place near the cathedral. Some young middle-class upstart replied, "A scon?" Boy, did he get a roasting! Poor lad is probably still having nightmares about it

Maybe a bit like that place we went to for coffee in Sheff' that didn't take cash. But you have young middle-class upstarts in Sheff? What's that city coming to??
Actually I can answer that myself. The other day I found out that Yorkshire Crisps are no longer producing their Henderson Relish flavoured crisps.

Sorry to hear about Imgur mate, hope it's working OK again for you soon. I had a meeting down near the Royal Armouries today, so I snapped a few pics

That's a great shot Jack. I do like cannons.

Today's mini-adventure. Darwen Moor, Lancashire.

You're asking the wrong Captain...

This one's the best of all:

Beautiful pictures David!

Is the use of sugar common, or is tea usually drunk with milk alone? I wonder...

Depends. If your using teabags with just 'normal tea', the instant equivalent of instant coffee, then yep sugar is acceptable. I drink usually one cup a day in the morning with two teaspoons of sugar. But I also drink peppermint tea and I don't put anything in that.
We have something in the UK that most refer to as 'builders tea'. When you leave the teabag in the mug to stew (one of my mates used two teabags per mug) to which can be added as much milk and sugar as you like.

Thank you. A lot colder than what the weather guesser said it was going to be though.

It is Vince, though I think folks take much less than they did in the past. When I was a young lad, my dad took 3 teaspoons of sugar in a half-pint mug of tea! That war-time generation seemed to develop a sweet tooth after years of rationing. Stan Shaw is much the same

You're asking the wrong Captain...

LOL! Yes, you wouldn't adulterate Earl Grey

Ahh now that sounds more like the thing I'm thinking about. Of course you had yours custom made didn't you. I was thinking the sort of waistcoat that had the satin back to it. I've not yet found a waistcoat that is made of the same material front and back; not even in the country outfitter type stores I've been in oop in Yorkshire.

Yes, if the bloke had been a bit quicker, I'd have probably had another couple off him. 'Full-back' waistcoats are less common, but you can get them 'off the peg' in places like Slaters. There are online country outfitters that do them too

Maybe a bit like that place we went to for coffee in Sheff' that didn't take cash. But you have young middle-class upstarts in Sheff? What's that city coming to??

Good grief, yes, David, I am still shaking my head with disbelief about that place, as has everyone I've told about it He must have been from down south mate, and got lost or summat

I am astonished by that Yorkshire Crisps story, Henderson's Relish IS vegan! What a stupid idea, last time I'll be buying a packet of their crisps I doubt they'll sell many in Sheffield

That's a great shot Jack. I do like cannons.

Thanks David, I was just getting the range for those yuppie apartments across the dock Fantastic photos my friend, it looks like you've had a grand day

That's the stuff! My mate on the tool-stall got hold of a huge quantity of catering tea-bags a couple of years ago. They're twice the size of a 2oz baccy tin, but he puts one in a 2 pint teapot!

Thank you. A lot colder than what the weather guesser said it was going to be though.

Yes, cold wind over here today too, but it was fine for most of the day at least

Good Afternoon Guardians.

I used to drink something called Russian tea. Tea of choice and mix in natural strawberry preserves for chewy sweetness. That was over 50 years ago.

Thank you again Dennis @mitch4ging for the 3rd AD Spearhead Coin(“Stay Spearhead”). Along for the ride is my Brookes & Crookes Lamb Foot.

That sounds nice Harvey I used to drink sage tea when I was in the Middle East, and it was very refreshing. I do like to try different beverages around the world. Even the non-alcoholic ones! That's a very special gift my friend, I'm sure you will treasure it Looks good with your Brookes & Crookes

Much thanks, Jack. So many things pair well with tea. Love to walk around the water. Great image.

Thanks Harvey, that's a section of the River Aire and the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal just on the edge of Leeds City Centre

And dill relish!

Pickled jalapenos!

Well, you guys did it. I was at the grocery store today, buying good healthy food, and couldn't resist picking up a can of Wolf Brand Chili and Hebrew National hot dogs and some bolillo rolls.

As far as tea goes, around here, if you order "tea" it comes in a glass over ice. If you want it hot, you ask for "hot tea" and they bring you a cup of tepid water and and a tea-bag. Both are served with lemons, no milk.

Oh, that's unless you're in a Chinese restaurant. Then you get a nice hot pot of tea.

My wife wants to know if you have toast with Gentleman’s relish with your tea.

That's a good meal for Texas Independence Day!

'Lemon Tea' was a bit of a thing here in the 60's and early 70's, and considered quite sophisticated by the standards of the day

My wife wants to know if you have toast with Gentleman’s relish with your tea.

That's a sweet question Only very rarely I'm afraid, but I do have tea and toast almost every day

That's a good meal for Texas Independence Day!

Happy Texas Independence Day to our Texan posse! Hope y'all have a great day

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot what day it is! I'm meeting friends tonight, so chili-dogs might have to wait until tomorrow.

Hope everyone is getting along well This Turner & Co is a recent addition. It's a big un at 4 1/8" closed. Main blade is 3 9/16 " Thick and heavy with a wraparound spring on the pen. It's a handful.

Milk in tea? I have always taken mine "black", like my coffee. No milk, cream, sugar, or lemon. Tastes better to me that way.

You're a cheap date Vince Depends on the tea here, but generally folks drink it with a little milk. I've always drunk coffee black

Depends. If your using teabags with just 'normal tea', the instant equivalent of instant coffee, then yep sugar is acceptable. I drink usually one cup a day in the morning with two teaspoons of sugar. But I also drink peppermint tea and I don't put anything in that.
We have something in the UK that most refer to as 'builders tea'. When you leave the teabag in the mug to stew (one of my mates used two teabags per mug) to which can be added as much milk and sugar as you like.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder's_tea

I never drank much hot tea before our first trip to visit my brother and his family in England, but now I enjoy it about as frequently as I do coffee (which, to be fair, isn’t that often, maybe a couple times a week). I’ve always liked my coffee black (although I also enjoy a good cappuccino now and then), but my brother taught me about “builder’s tea” like David mentioned, and I’ve found that’s the way I like it: brewed strong, a little milk, one sugar.

Of course, growing up in Arkansas, the tea was always iced and sweet. I still like it that way, although these days I try to cut down on the sugar when I make sweet tea at home (and order it half-sweet/half-unsweet at a restaurant).

All the chili-talk in this thread lately made this week’s dinner choice an easy one. We didn’t make cornbread this time around, so I had it over Fritos and rice with some shredded cheese on top.

Today was Texas Independence Day, but it's not as big a deal around here (except for me!) as the U. S. Independence Day. Texas is the only state that was a sovereign nation (unless you count Hawaii, which was a kingdom at one time). Texas is the only state with an Independence Day. So I always celebrate. Didn't have chili today though (but had it Saturday--we always have plenty of Wolf Brand Chili on hand!). Tonight I had homemade lasagne, made by my wife and daughter. My daughter also made some rosemary bread to go with dinner. I made a salad and poured the wine. Should have got pics.

Well, for a late dessert I am enjoying a blueberry scone (pronounced like Jack says it), made by my daughter. She has never made scones before, but I must say it is excellent! And some strong English Breakfast tea. Two tea bags. No sissy milk and sugar here!
