The Body Electric, that's what the babes call me.

I guess we're all being "Black Guardians" today, in deference to your croissant, Jack, so RALF fits right in!

Good old faithful ebony lamb helped me prepare some fish last evening.
He was like "Where are the chips ? " Rice will have to do for now, I promised him next time we'll have fish AND chips

LOL! Thanks my friend, those are great photos of RALF I really wish I had taken a photo of that coal-black croissant, (or cornetti, as cudgee pointed out), with my Ebony Big 'Un yesterday. While it tasted completely different to how it looked, I can't see me having another I called in at the same Sicilian place for a toasted sandwich today, which was just amazing

I've really enjoyed reading about your adventures in the A Walk in Nature thread Dan That looks delicious my friend

Hope everyone's having a good day I had to go into the city centre, which was a little crazy Picked up my new specs, and a couple of new pairs of shoes. It's pretty warm here today

I've just pulled this Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot beauty out of the post box, direct from a kindly and generous Leeds Gentleman, Jack Black; my new favorite slicer! Thanks again Jack!

That knife has the rare characteristic of some woman..They look better as they age. RALF in middle-age has character and beauty that only comes with use and experience.

Now I am on a quest to try the recipe for the famous British style fried fish.
I tried it when we visited Prince Edward Island a couple years ago, there were fish and chips stands all over the island. Their fried fish looks exactly the same as the pictures I see in the British recipes.

Remembering P.E.I.

A little late in getting a post up on our Guardians site. Storms in the area had power down for a bit but we are now electrified again! Been carrying my Ebony like everyone else.

That's fascinating about Prince Edward Island Dan, and a stunning pic I hope you can find a good recipe (I noticed YouTube had a good few videos on the subject). I'm sure I have one, but only recall deep-frying fish a few times, and I was actually using Italian and Spanish recipes, and frying whitebait and swordfish! Traditionally, fish and chip shops here have been rather secretive about their recipes, with them only changing hands when businesses were sold

That's a fantastic George Butler Eric Congratulations, they always made a very nice knife in my experience Welcome to the Guardians

Good morning Guardians, hope everyone is doing OK. I finally got my new reading glasses yesterday, after a couple of months of messing around, and going back and forward to the opticians. Since my distance prescription hadn't changed, and I was quite happy with my everyday specs, I decided not to get another pair of distance glasses, but I regret that now. I was just trying on my new readers last night, when the arm and hinge of my distance glasses separated. As I wear them all the time, this was something of a major incident. I've taped them up for now, and hoping I can get them repaired over the next couple of days, which may not be possible. Either way, I think I'm going to have to start the whole process again, and get another pair, which I can't say I relish Don't think I'm going to be able to get into town today anyway, as I have too much work on

I enjoyed carrying my 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot so much yesterday, I thought I'd drop it in my pocket again today Have a good one Guardians

There seems to an issue with the BF server at the moment, so I'll post this when I can

Keep it simple my friend.
1 Cup of self raising flour.
1/2 Teaspoon of salt.
1 Cup COLD soda water.

Mix dry ingredients, add COLD soda water and mix to make batter. Place in fridge for half an hour covered, mix again, then dip fish fillets in the batter and fry.

Gracias Leon, it's only a matter of time now before I'll give it a try

Thanks Jack , Prince Edward Island is indeed a very beautiful place. I ate soo much fish while there too lol
We wanted to go back this year but things here are very slowly opening up and we did not want to risk our vacation plans.
Next year

From my P.E.I. treasure chest of memories

 

[Onebigbill]

Storms have passed for now. As long as they aren't hurricanes I'm happy. I have my Ebony with me now and will give it a little touch-up on the ceramic stone. The edge still needs some work but I will eventually get it straightened out.

Thanks, Jack, Duncan and cudgee for the kind words about RALF, but remember, he's not just a pretty boy. The lad can get after it, as well!
