Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

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

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

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.

They definitely help preserve your hearing.

Thanks Jeremy, I picked it up at an event at my local Ukrainian community centre on the anniversary of the Russian invasion. Got the marching mug and key-fob too! 🇺🇦 👍

So I've carried the HHB every day since I received it from Jack Black 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?

Carry it, Use it. That is what they were made for

Nice Lamb
 
This is my homage to the ancient Collosus of Rhodes! :D ;) :thumbsup:

Yes. Hope that helps :D

I have some knives, that a friend of mine terms, "too pretty to use". They are seldom carried. I hardly ever use a slip, so if it's a knife I want to carry and use, I make the decision to just pocket it and not worry about it.

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 :( :thumbsup:

Its good that it's better, but I'm sorry to hear that you never could get any effective treatment from the health care system :(

I thought Harry Potter had left school by now! o_O🤣 I've seen videos of American kids trying British food, but it looks like those guys are making a career out of it judging from the number of videos! :D Brilliant Barrett, it's got me wanting to try biscuits and gravy now, maybe for the 4th of July?! :D You'll notice, at the beginning when the kid says it looks like a SCONE, (pronouncing it to rhyme with bone), he is immediately passive aggressively corrected by one of the film-makers, who pronounces it to rhyme with none! If he'd done that at my school, he might have been going home wearing some fork face-jewellery! 😒 Typical Sconist! 🤨 ;) Before I started posting here, I think I thought the whole world ate beans on toast! 🤣😉:thumbsup:

I was happy to see in that video that they appeared to have found someone who actually had some idea of how to make biscuits and gravy. Sometimes you’ll see videos like that where it looks like whoever prepared the food was as clueless about it as the people trying it. 🙄 (The only thing they did wrong in this one is not split the biscuits in half before putting on the gravy. You’ve got to open ‘em up for maximum gravy coverage.) 😋

I noticed that about the scone pronunciation. I also noticed the kid came right back and pronounced it “scone” again. 🤣 Here’s a map I found that reminded me of that dialect quiz we’ve done in the Lounge a few times.

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.

I noticed that, too, when we visited the UK. I assume it’s because they don’t produce the vast quantities of corn that we do here. I also found it interesting that on the back of a bottle of Coke, it was described as a “Sparkling Soft Drink with Vegetable Extracts.” 🤣

I had a Dr. Pepper while we were in England, too, which was disappointing. Their regular (non-diet/zero) version of Dr. Pepper is made with half sugar, half aspartame. I can’t stand the taste of aspartame. 😐

Jack Black said:
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? :thumbsup:

Although I try not to drink that sort of stuff too often any more, Mexican Coke is definitely the good stuff!

(Gotta make sure you capitalize that C when talking about how much you enjoy Mexican Coke…) 😉🤣

I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start. I’m looking forward to meeting up with a few Guardians/Porch members in person this weekend at the Badger Knife Show. I think I’ll bring this Damascus Lambsfoot with me (along with, you know, like 50 other knives). 😉🤣

Thanks Mike, I've had a bad back for over 45 years, and never had anything beyond being given the odd exercise sheet :( :thumbsup:

Yes, I've seen a few of those! :D Thanks for the tip on the biscuit-splitting buddy, makes sense! :) :thumbsup:

Oh, did he?! :D Cool find Barrett, though it's a little difference to my experience. I'm tempted to move to Ireland! :eek: :D :thumbsup:

LOL! :D Yes, we do produce sugar beet here too, good point :thumbsup:

Yeah, I hate the taste of aspartame, I can't drink anything with it in! 🤮 I probably have less than a dozen cans of pop a year, but always avoid the low/zero sugar varieties 🤢 :thumbsup:

When I lived in El Paso I drank more Mexican Cokes then I care to admit. They are the King of all sodas.

Looking forward to meeting you Barrett. Should be a great time at the show. Awesome lamb my friend.
 
I picked this up in the supermarket yesterday. Not sure why it's called Cottage Pie, which is a beef variation of Shepherd's Pie. Usually, when you see vegetarian versions, they're called 'Shepherdless Pie' or sometimes 'Shepherdess Pie'. This one uses sweet potato in the mash topping, which is not that unusual. The filling tastes kind of like lentils in gravy, it's OK, but not particularly interesting (a few splashes of Henderson's definitely made it more palatable.) I've made vegetarian Shepherd's Pie a few times, and reckon it was about 10 times better than this. Still, 'ready meals' never amount to that much I don't think. While this was OK, I certainly wouldn't serve it to a guest, even a vegetarian guest, but that's true of a lot of the lazy dishes I've been trying this month. Hard to get really enthusiastic about cooking, when you're just cooking for yourself :thumbsup:
