More food and Lambsfoot content!

Beans, chips, pie, the Yorkshire trinity! Had a mug of tea on the side of course!

What a tasty looking carb-fest, Jack!
When my brother comes to visit, he always insists we have at least one breakfast at the neighborhood Mexican restaurant because he gets a kick out of having beans for breakfast. He just returned home from a business trip to England, and I asked if he had breakfast beans there. He told me he had a "Full English" which he enjoyed very much. He even liked the catsup, which he's never been fond of. He read the label and noticed even though it's the same brand he gets here, the English version is made with sugar instead of corn syrup. It's a shame our food standards are so lacking in the United States. There's corn syrup in everything.

So I've carried the HHB every day since I received it from Jack Black and I've decided that I will carry it every day until Lacey gets paroled from the Cone of Shame (probably at her vets visit on the 30th). (And I may keep on carrying it after that, too!)

But here's my conundrum: I'm currently carrying it in the wool slip that came with it. But this means that whatever other knife I'm carrying ends up doing most of the work, because I don't have time to fiddle around with a pocket slip. (This is why I normally never carry knives in slips.)

And I usually like the slightly scratched-up bolsters that come with dumping the knife in a pocket with keys and pen and another knife and whatnot.

But I have hesitated to do that to the HHB - it feels too pretty and fancy for that. So I'd be interested in the Guardians' thoughts on this. Do I keep it in a slip and keep it pretty but rarely used? Or do I just throw it in my pocket and put it to work, and enjoy the bolster patina that tells my story with this knife?

I only use a slip if I'm carrying two knives in the same pocket.
Of course it's your decision to make, but the HHB is a uniquely fine candidate for slipless carry. One of the things about it that I find especially neat is that the perfectly thumb-sized bolsters are made of the same steel as the blade (though differently heat treated, I assume) , I enjoy comparing the patinas.

Another yummy pic !

This is called tuning the world out...
I still find it hard to believe there are 12 speakers ( armatures) in each ear piece.View attachment 2124590

Such nice jigging !

 

[Jack Black]

That croissant looks sinfully delicious Jack.

I like the plain ones, but Charlie bakes half a dozen varieties. I managed to get the last one today

The horn lamb lasted one day. It is currently in a padded envelope getting ready to be sent to a fellow Guardian.

That's very kind of you Paul

Thank you Jack .

You as well friend. Hope you have a great day planned.

Thanks buddy, nothing too exciting, but that suits me well enough Just as well I don't have anything exciting planned, as I just sprained my ankle again in another pavement pot-hole!

Ever since joining this forum, I have noticed that my post office visits have increased about 1000% . I feel like I go there every other day. Looks delicious!! Great way to start the day Jack.

LOL! I've just been to the post office myself!

That looks like a fancy piece of kit with your Lamb Bob Twelve speakers, wow!

Ebony '18 is looking good Jer

After returning from the post office, I thought I'd try to pick up a couple of samosas from a local shop, but their delivery hadn't arrived yet I bought these from a health food shop at the start of Lent. I always thought nut-cutlets were a joke! They don't claim to be nut-cutlets, but they're what I imagine a nut-cutlet might look like! They were quite tasty, fried in a little sesame oil

 

[Daniel W]

Jack that HHB is looking great, and your meatless options seem to be better then the crap that I see in the store.

Thanks Rachel, I did enjoy it! That's funny about your brother, I'm glad he liked his Full English! Funny how recipes vary, like that, from place to place. Folks have mentioned the sugar/corn syrup thing a few times, though perhaps in relation to US versus Mexican Coke?

I have wondered if I'd have more patina on mine without a slip. Yours is looking good Rachel, nice pic

Thanks Rufus, the meatless options have been a bit of revelation, I really haven't had to look hard at all, in fact I have been quite lazy really

Samosas are a favorite of mine Jack.
I hope we don't have to wrap you in bubble wrap like Ed. Take care of that ankle.
Funny, two packages have been trying to escape England for the past 2 weeks.!

They look good.
I don't think we have nut cutlets in Michiganese.

Mine too Bob, I could just about live on them! I hope not! I was talking to the postman, and he was saying the same thing has happened to him, on my street, but he is young, and probably weighs half of what I do! Yeah, I don't know if the tracking is that accurate. I sent one a few weeks back, and noticed it supposedly hadn't left the country two weeks later, but then it was delivered the next day. The mail is a mess here though, a package I sent to Johnnythefox took nearly a week to reach him

 

[Jack Black]

I think they were listed as quinoa and vegetable burgers, made by an organic food co-op (rolled on the thighs of hippies)! They were nice enough Jer, I have another couple in the fridge, but there's an Eccles cake in the way Handsome #88 buddy

No better here Jack. I sent a package to Dwight and it ended up in Puerto Rico!!

Yes, the Mexican Cokes are popular enough, I would think Coke-a-cola would market it here. I remember them making a seasonal, kosher-for-Passover version without corn syrup. I don't know if they still do that, as I haven't seen it for years.

Thanks. I like a knife that only looks better with thumbprints.

Hope your ankle isn't too bad !

The two bladed Joseph Rogers that I bought on Feb 3rd seems to have been lost before leaving England. This was sent out by Evri and there has been no tracking update since the beginning of Feb. I just got a refund for it but the seller still thinks it could eventually show up.

Perhaps best of both worlds…easy in/out slip and more use?

Looks delicious Paul

Horn looks good buddy

That's great news

Thanks Dwight

It was definitely a treat, cost me almost as much as a loaf!

Fantastic photo of your DamLamb Dwight, you really captured both the stag and the Damascus Cool hobo coin, and Stripe of course!


Good to have you back Jeremy



Cool pic Bob, that's some handsome jigging

Thanks buddy, I'm afraid I just had to ride it out It'll come back at some point I'm sure, just hope it's not when I'm on vacation

Thanks Jack, glad to be back (and back home). I love the coaster under your HHB this morning.

Thank you. They are custom made in ear monitors for my on the go listening. ( another rabbit hole for me).

I use in ear monitors when I play drums on Sunday mornings, though not nearly as nice as yours. I have a pair of Beats earbuds that fit the bill alright.

 

[Jack Black]

No better here Jack. I sent a package to Dwight and it ended up in Puerto Rico!!

Oh no! I think the worst I had was some years ago, with a package coming from the USA, which, for some reason went to Australia. Despite being clearly addressed, Australian customs, nonetheless, opened the package, and didn't send it on its way for over a month! I hope Dwight gets his package soon!

Yes, the Mexican Cokes are popular enough, I would think Coke-a-cola would market it here. I remember them making a seasonal, kosher-for-Passover version without corn syrup. I don't know if they still do that, as I haven't seen it for years.

I'm pretty sure it"s just sugar here

Thanks. I like a knife that only looks better with thumbprints.

Yours looks just like I hoped they would Rachel

Hope your ankle isn't too bad !

Thanks Steve, I don't think it was entirely better from the previous sprain Oh no, that's terrible! I sure hope the packages I put in the mail last week don't go missing I hope your Rodgers turns up, I have to say I've sent hundreds of parcels across The Pond, and they've all got there
