No problem. If you decide to give it a go sometime, let me know, I can probably give you a few tips. :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:

To be fair, I can’t vouch for the accuracy of that map (nor can I say where the data came from). Just something I found with a quick google search. 🤣

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:

Yep, I’d definitely rather have the real thing occasionally than the diet stuff… well, ever.

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.

Did you ever eat at Chico’s Tacos? I’ve only been through El Paso a couple times (and one of those was in the middle of the night during a snow storm), but the first time I went through, driving by myself from Phoenix to visit my uncle who lives near College Station, I stopped and had lunch at Chico’s. It was pretty good!

The show should be fun, Paul, I’m looking forward to it as well. Sadly, as hard as I looked last year, I don’t think I saw a single Lambsfoot. 🙁

Great pic of that piece of history Steve :cool: :thumbsup:

I managed to pick up Jaws on DVD a couple of days ago :D I haven't seen it for decades, so I think I'm going to watch it with a few cans of beer, and some rum on the side ;) :thumbsup:

I lived about 2 blocks from a Chico's Tacos. My mother in law's sister manages one. I loved that place and miss it often here in the North.

We will have our Lambs. That is enough for me.

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.

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. 😐



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). 😉🤣

I hope you have a grand time. I am envious.....they don't seem to have any for us east shore yankees.

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:

LOL! :D It was such a big thing wasn't it? I think my sister saw the movie about 15 times :D I saw it premier, but have probably only seen it a couple of times since :) Was great to watch it again :cool: :thumbsup:

Shepherd's Pie is very traditional here Bob, it's like a sort of thick stew, with vegetables, and minced lamb or steak, baked in a casserole dish, with a layer of mashed potato on top :D :thumbsup:

My error Jack...I saw the lentil cottage and did not connect it to Shepherd's Pie. A meal I do enjoy.
