National Knife Day requires a Lambsfoot - my AC will do nicely. I hope you all are having a terrific start to your week.

Thanks a lot Charlie, been a while since I last saw this one :) Hey, when I was posting before, I was thinking about the word 'movie', that must be pretty old I guess, maybe from the age of silent cinema, before the 'talkies' came along :cool: Hope you're having a good day my friend :) :thumbsup:

Olives are a staple of my diet. First off, I like a Martini. If a bartender is inclined to stuff a couple of big ones with Gorgonzola, I will probably let her go ahead and do that. I use them in cooking, too, as important as potatoes, onions, peppers and artichoke hearts. Sometimes I will crisp up a can of olives in a frying pan with a roughly equivalent amount of garlic cloves, to make a pretty compelling finger food.

As a matter of course, I will dump a can into a pasta sauce, a salad or a pan of sauteed vegetables.
I know a woman who makes an incredible lamb and olive stew. She also keeps a bottle of Citadelle in her freezer. I should probably see if I can’t wangle a dinner invitation.

I don’t know how anybody can complain about the taste, when they all taste so different depending on how they are brined, and on what they are served with.

Good looking pasta, i do love a plate of good cheese, olives with some pickled onions.:p A good cheddar and sliced picked onions, good simple fair, and you can't beat a good olive.:thumbsup:

I finished off the fire-pit I was building

Some idiot last week in our local council came up with the brainwave to ban wood and coal bbq's and any sort of fire pit or brick oven. One person had complained about the smell, i give you one guess how this went down with the rest of the rate payers. Another brainwave idea in the bin. Hope your back is holding up ok.:thumbsup:

That's the sort of thing that could easily happen here too mate o_O So far, so good, thanks :) :thumbsup:

Good job, it is a skill of it's self to be able to do this, and Chin is a master at it, you have been a very good pupil.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:.

Thank you for the kind words. Pretty much all of what I know about this sort of thing was learned through the generous sharing of knowledge both here on The Porch and in the MT&E subforum.

And, yes, Chin is a master lambsfoot tuner. :) :thumbsup:

Great to see you here Greg, fascinating post :cool: I like convex edges, though I have more FBs with them than pocket knives. You did a great job straightening that Lambsfoot blade out again, and the final convexed blade looks amazing. Well done, and thanks for sharing it with us :) :thumbsup:

Thanks, Jack! Many of my favorite small whittling blades have convex edges and recently I've picked up a couple of FBs that have them, too. I thought it'd be worth putting one on one of my frequently carried lambsfoot knives and the comparing how it performs and holds up to my others. We'll see. If nothing else, it motivated me to fix that recurve situation. :)

I guess my age is showing!!:oops:
Anything that could be construed as "for the silver screen" is a "movie" in my lexicon!!:D

Not at all Charlie, I think it's the most commonly used word :D I was thinking more of its etymology though :) When my parents were young, the cinema here was still commonly referred to as 'The Flicks', which I guess is also a pretty old term. Easy to forget how relatively recent 'moving pictures', and particularly the 'talkies' are. I've heard it said that prior to the latter, few English people had ever heard an American accent. Of course the very first movie was made only about a mile from where I live :) :thumbsup:

What do you mean "American accent"? It's the English that have the accent!

How quaint! :D ;) :thumbsup:

People here usually talk about going to the Pictures, which I guess also goes back to the early days of cinema :) :thumbsup:

Good Morning Guardians! Hope everyone's week got off to a good start :) Here, in contrast to the beautiful weather yesterday, it is absolutely 'chucking it down'! :eek: Hope you're all getting some sunshine :) :thumbsup:

Thought I'd have a change ;)
