Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Onebigbill]

Have a great day in town today Jack! Hope the sleepless night doesn't get you too bad. Overseas? As in the US? HHB is looking mighty fine sir.

Tool Man hasn't changed a bit! Very cool photo.

Stunning covers on that one Bob. Did your wife clean up at the casino?

Good looking pair Jeff. Never seen the top knife before.

Glad to hear you made some good memories over the weekend Pete. Got to love ebony.

Apartment hunting in St. Louis!!!!! That sounds painful to the wallet my friend. Hope it all goes well. Awesome lamb per usual Todd.

I agree with Bob. That is a beautiful Lamb Bill.

Striking wood on the May David. That isn't rosewood is it?

I like your style. Metal monday! Pretty sweet Harvey.

Thanks for the kind words. My HHB is my favorite knife and the one I carry most.

 

[JohnDF]

You're off to a good start, Jack... Good luck to you.

Good morning Guardians. Had an early tee time yesterday and then got busy with "honey-do" jobs and missed the forum. I was so tired that I went to bed a 9:00. Had a lot of catching up to do this morning ! Sunny morning and warm - going up to 79 degrees F.

I've had a few days like myself recently Bill, and the early nights! Hope you're feeling refreshed today About 10 years ago, my doctor advised me to try to eat my evening meal no later than 4.30pm, and to try not to eat anything after that. It took some getting used to, and I can't always stick to it, but I almost always do, because it has made such a difference to me Fine photo of your Hartshead Barlow

Carrying Spalty today

 

[Jack Black]

When I was growing up, after WW2, there wasn't a lot of food here, and working class families tended to have the same meals each day every week. Not only that, but even different families, had the same meal on a particular day. In Sheffield, workers were traditionally paid on Thursday, and a common meal on Wednesday, the end of the week, was a poor-man's stew, which Sheffielders call 'Ash'. Recipes vary slightly from family to family, but it was mainly vegetable based, with perhaps a little cheap stewing meat, or steak and kidney, adding flavour to the pot. My mother's contained so little meat, that me and my sister, called it 'potato stew'! Sheffielders though, are generally very proud of their Ash, which typically contains sliced carrots, onions, potatoes, and possibly swede or turnip, in a brown gravy. Nostalgia sometimes pushes me to cook this simple stew today, and it is perfectly accompanied by Henerson's Relish. Like a good chip butty, it's not enhanced by adding extras, but better appreciated as a simple meal. As a small child, I thought Ash Wednesday was called that, because of what we had for tea, as did many other Sheffield children, and probably a few adults too!

Spalty has great character Steve

The storm is here. First 5 inches of the projected 2 feet has landed. Another 19 inches to go . Will be indoors except to run the snow plow for driveway. A nice lady lives by herself next door and will plow for her as well. Other then that my butt will be inside. Got this wonderful lamb to keep me company.

 

[cigarrodog]

Oh, I don't do it for spiritual reasons Harvey, I just think it does us all good to go without now and again

Understood and agreed. What does that good mean for you?

Thanks Todd I usually do Pancake Day to my birthday on 30th March, but I'll do the full thing this year

Good news Todd I need to give my dentist a call, they were supposed to ring me back over a month ago!

Your flock is coming along buddy

Nice photo David

I have to say, watching him eat, does not give me an appetite!



LOL! I hope you got your pancakes Jer, it sounds like someone should have brought you some

Those look really tasty Tyson, great pic



Oh, I don't do it for spiritual reasons Harvey, I just think it does us all good to go without now and again

Good morning Guardians, What was I thinking???!!! I should probably have planned this better, and gone shopping first, but a deal's a deal, you have my solemn word that I will forego all meat and fish, cheese, and eggs, but not including animal fat or eggs if they are a minor ingredient in something I've purchased (I haven't eaten eggs for 45 years anyway) for the period of Lent! I think I might have got carried away throwing cheese in there, but I don't eat much these days anyway Despite my rising panic, things started out well this morning, with toasted wholemeal sourdough

Welcome, once again, to our newest Guardian, @Viper84 , whose started off his flock with a particularly nice example from Eric @ea42 I need to go and do some shopping, but I have a few things to do at home first, hope I don't starve to death in the meantime! Have a great day Guardians

Forgoing cheese was a bold move Jack. Good luck to you my friend.

Great example you have today, Steve. Hope the snow is not too bad in your neck of the woods.

Its hard to beat a great stew Jack. When you have the memories and history of where it came from makes it all the more important. I think a lot of people these days take things like that for granted. Thank you for sharing my friend.

I can’t even imagine 2 feet of snow at one time. Be safe Paul. Beautiful lamb.

Stunning photo Harvey, as usual.

Blimey Paul, I'm glad you have that L:ambsfoot to warm your hands! Stay safe buddy

Understood and agreed. What does that good mean for you?

Well, I don't spend too much time thinking about it Harvey, but it reminds me of a time when I couldn't just eat what I wanted, indeed times when I couldn't eat at all, and that there are many, many people in that position today. I'm glad my own children didn't have to go without, as I sometimes had to, but I'm also glad that they haven't grown up just being able to snap their fingers for anything they wanted. The things I enjoy in life today are relatively inexpensive, and I'm able to buy a new knife, or a new jacket, more or less at whim, but this is a relatively recent thing for me, and it feels important to have the strength of character to give up something I enjoy, for a short while, or longer if necessary, because a comfortable lifestyle can be precarious

Looks hearty and delicious, Jack.

Thanks Harvey

Good Morning Guardians

Cool pic of your ebony Lamb my friend

Forgoing cheese was a bold move Jack. Good luck to you my friend.

I've always loved cheese, but nowhere near as much as I used to these days strangely Even so, I'm not quite sure how that managed to get on my list! I was checking my posts this morning, and there it was!

Its hard to beat a great stew Jack. When you have the memories and history of where it came from makes it all the more important. I think a lot of people these days take things like that for granted. Thank you for sharing my friend.

Thanks Paul It tastes even better after a hard day's work, or a cold day in the mountains

Nice shot John. I’m ready to see some flowers around here.

I noticed my daffodils and crocuses have started flowering The same happened last year though, and I think they regretted being early!

Nice story Jack. It looks great to me.

Thanks Todd, just reminiscing
