I never used to think of strawberries as an acidic fruit, they don't taste acidic, but they really get a patina going

Not only do they get a Patina going, they are one of the better ways to test a knifes sharpness, " Nature's Bess Tester ". Get your knife, and with the weight of the knife only, has to be just the weight of the KNIFE ONLY, run the blade from top to bottom of the strawberry, { The top being the green from the stem } must be at 90 degrees to the surface of the strawberry, in other words completely perpendicular to the surface. If it slices into the strawberry by at least the depth of the bevel it is sharp, the deeper it cuts into the strawberry the sharper it is, strawberry's have one of the naturally toughest skins of any fruit. There endeth todays lesson.

It's a very nice knife, but as cudgee cudgee says, it's not a Lambsfoot. Would you mind editing it out of your post please? Paul will tell you what a Lambsfoot is, (or you can learn by reading this thread), I have the Lambsfoot he carried as a boy, a very kind gift. Please give him my very best wishes if you speak to him 👍

I guess epistolary novels aren't as popular these days.

Got a laugh at the fellow bringing along his six-guns to battle Dracula.

May not be shooting any more .357 Magnum ammo from a J-frame! ["J-frame" is the smallest Smith & Wesson revolver frame, for you non-gun folk.]

I'm not a gun guy, by any means, but I sometimes enjoy reading those "pistolary novels" Rachel mentioned with all the shoot-em-up action!! :thumbsup: 🤓 :thumbsup: 😁

Union Jack for me this week:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend, and that the coming week starts well for you. I'm just watching the crows and magpies competing for nest space in the trees outside. In another month, they'll be hidden among the leaves. The weather here isn't so good, but I could do with going to town. Starting my week with my Hartshead Barlow :) Have a good day everyone :thumbsup:

Fascinating to read about your crockery rotation Gary :) I do like your mug, and that's a nice pic :) Good one of your Man Jack too :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words, John and Jack. :)
The photo of Man Jack was taken at the college campus I often walk through on weekends because of its attractive woods and streams. It's a Catholic college, and there's a path leading from the campus chapel through a woodsy area to one of the oldest dorms. Along the path are little displays like the one in my photo of the 14 (?) stations of the Cross, made and installed by a Scout as his Eagle Scout "project". I was raised in a Protestant denomination, so I don't know much about some of the "more Catholic traditions" like Stations of the Cross. I took the photo, but had to google Veronica. (I don't know much about Eagle Scout requirements either.)
