Good morning Guardians !

Baxter Lamb today

 

[btb01]

If you are going to go, may as well go in style Barrett.
Keep the hat, just keep the beer and brauts coming!

Especially when it’s on someone else’s dime!

Did you watch the game?!

Yeah, I caught a bit of it in between beers and hot dogs. They had “real” food, too, but I failed to take a picture before tucking in. Steak au poivre (a bit dry, unfortunately), dauphinoise potatoes (delicious) and green beans. The hot dogs were my second course. And there was cheesecake for dessert!

That grain looks so cool in the sunlight!

I sometimes do some work for a local printer. They've taken on a massive job, and are behind on it. They called Yorkshireman! I agreed to help out, but I have a lot on already at the moment, so it's a flat-out struggle I was up late last night, and up early this morning, but I need to go to the post office this morning, and also go and do some grocery shopping, as my fridge is nearly empty

Sounds like you’ve had your nose to grindstone, Jack. Hope things slow down for you.

The other day at the butcher's I was bad. They havev uncooked pies and have had pullled beef brisquit & cheese pies I couldn't resist any longer, cooked for dinner tonight, yum..View attachment 2382297View attachment 2382298

Dang that looks tasty, Mitch!

Hello Guardians. It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I’m hoping things slow down soon. I hope everyone is getting along well. Had a trade go through last week and feel blessed to have found this one. It’s better in hand than I thought it would be.

Excellent addition, Pete. Congrats!

Are we talking food, beer, or both. Fridge full of beer and no food is a minor emergency. No beer requires an immediate remedy lol.

Gotta keep that beer fridge stocked!

Bill did a great job on that pattern, Pete!! My sentiments exactly, when I got the first one in my hands!!
I'm carrying mine today!!View attachment 2382765

Some good looking patina on your Lambsfoot there, Charlie!

I might have to get in training, so that I get the most from my vacation 'all inclusive' package at Xmas!

Sounds like my kind of training!

I nearly burnt my mouth on another pie tonight Mitch! I had a minced beef and onion pie, with roast potatoes, roast asparagus, and gravy

Julie and I were watching an episode of The Great British Bake Off the other day where they were doing savory pies. There was one with dauphinoise potatoes and caramelized onions that sounded particularly good.

(This is definitely the only time I’ve ever mentioned dauphinoise potatoes twice in one post on here. Or once, for that matter.)

Me too Jack, I only have cappuccino when I go to a Cafe and sit, normally black for me me. I talked Kristy into going for a coffee when she got home.

I’m kind of the same, Mitch. I like strong black coffee and/or espresso, but I also enjoy a cappuccino, and occasionally even an iced latte when it’s warm out. (I’m with Kristy, I don’t like to drink hot beverages when the weather’s hot.)

Unfortunately, I don't see much of 'Charlie' at the moment, as he is off empire-building, looking for a second cafe/restaurant. The pleasant Italian couple he has running the place speak even less English than I do, and aren't great in the kitchen either. I'm noticing less people going in, in fact it's been empty the past few days. Almost every cafe/bar/restaurant owner I know, who has gone under, has gone under for exactly the same reason - expanding too quickly. So I'm hoping this doesn't happen with Charlie's

Hope they can turn things around before it’s too late.

I like the name Steve Cool pic my friend

Thanks buddy, I am! It hasn't stopped, and there's more of it due tomorrow

Tool Man just rang me to let me know that Boring Ray has Covid Ray has worse luck than I do! Last week, he was away on the family holiday, where they always go - Scarborough, on the North Yorkshire coast In November!

Every year they go, Ray comes back with numerous tales of woe, he's lost his wallet, his car's been stolen, he's broken a leg, his house has been burgled, he spent 3 days in hospital, he came home to half the roof missing, he has a speeding/parking fine, he was arrested, he has been violently ill, him and his wife were asked to leave the hotel, he's lost his suitcase, he's ripped his new suit. All these things have happened, sometimes several times, in the time I've known Ray. He suffers with depression, and I'm not surprised. At least Covid is something new anyway

With Ray away, Tool Man has had the cheek to ask me to look after his stall again, while he goes to try on, and collect, his finished suit It's been touch and go if I'll be able to get down to the market at all this week, and I had intended to just visit for an hour or so this week. I had told him this, but it went straight in one ear, and out of the other He's lucky I'm not as selfish as he is!

At least I'll have some leek and potato soup to come home to And I might make myself a sandwich again, since Tool Man's 90 minute visit to the tailors will inevitably be at lunchtime

The Chieftain hasn't accompanied me for a while, so I think I will take him to the market tomorrow

Poor Ray.

Don’t have too much fun doing Tool Man’s job for him. I’ve heard a lot of talk about weaponized incompetence recently. Reminds me of someone.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Been raking leaves all day it seems. A few beer/cigar breaks mixed in . '19 lamb today.

I still need to deal with all our leaves, and I am not looking forward to it. I think I prefer shoveling snow.

But is it from a gas station?

This Katalox Albers has been giving my other Lambs some serious competition for pocket time lately.

They set the bar high with that Albers Barrett, very nice.

Coffee- I usually get an expresso shot put in my regular coffee.

Good morning John. How are the corn hole tourneys going?

 

[JohnDF]

How are the corn hole tourneys going?

Some are good, some are bad, and all points in-between.

 

[Jack Black]

Another unsubstantiated claim. Like the " Best Fish and Chips you see in the windows of fish and chip shops ".

Yeah!

Yeah like a knife company liking their own posts, I've seen that before.
Leon they were better than I normally have, I'd have em again.

Lamb up a tree, how did that happen¿

That's some sweet jigging Steve

Good afternoon Guardians, It's been a long time since I didn't get a chance to call in on my way to the market, but I I was rushing today, and then crammed in on the bus. The weather wasn't too bad though, here's my street on bin day

Tool Man was pleased to see me, and on his best behaviour, particularly after I gave him the Scarborough, first thing, telling him that he'd better behave himself, or he wouldn't be picking up his new suit! The market was quite busy, and we got a few callers, including Harry Hot Balls, Barry The Ted, Old Brian, Scooby, Slimline Scott, and Ex Para Steve, along with our new pal, Mr Brookes, a former Drill Sargent from Antigua, who we met last week We also had a visit with Copper Mark, who we've not seen for a few months, as he's been assigned to desk duties. Tool Man got his suit, and is very pleased with it He tried on the jacket, but wouldn't let me take a photo as he wasn't properly dressed up. "Not in civvies," he said Ex Para Steve also had a suit to collect, a blue velvet dinner suit, for when he sits at the captain's table on his upcoming Caribbean cruise with the missus. When he told me the eye-watering cost, I told him it sounded like a lot to spend for a night eating fish fingers!

A mate of mine got married in blue velvet in the 1970's It's not something I could ever see me wearing myself!

Good song, awful film!

I took a pastrami sandwich with me, as it would have been difficult to go into the indoor market for food, with Tool Man off at the tailors. I did pick up a cake though, along with some very nice ginger biscuits

We must be dropping too many cake crumbs, as some starlings have moved into the tool stall

Hope everyone is having a great day

Wow! Sounds fantastic In Yorkshire, free food could lead to a stadium disaster! I'm glad you acquitted yourself well my friend

Sounds like you’ve had your nose to grindstone, Jack. Hope things slow down for you.

Thanks Barrett, I left the market early, but it did feel like having a break I reckon I've got about 4 hours of work to do tonight

Sounds like my kind of training!

Julie and I were watching an episode of The Great British Bake Off the other day where they were doing savory pies. There was one with dauphinoise potatoes and caramelized onions that sounded particularly good.

That does sound nice

(This is definitely the only time I’ve ever mentioned dauphinoise potatoes twice in one post on here. Or once, for that matter.)

LOL! Have you checked with the search function?!

I think it's 30 years since I last had a cappuccino! Maybe more!

Hope they can turn things around before it’s too late.

Me too mate, the first thing is noticing something is wrong

Poor Ray.

Don’t have too much fun doing Tool Man’s job for him. I’ve heard a lot of talk about weaponized incompetence recently. Reminds me of someone.

LOL! Someone asked Tool Man how Ray was doing. I said, "He won't know, he'll have been too busy asking Ray how he was going to manage to pick up his suit!" Tool Man conceded

They are fine knives I love the embossing on your pocket slip!

Never heard the expression " Gave him the Scarborough" before. Is it a stern warning ?

I live on Scarborough Rd.

They set the bar high with that Albers Barrett, very nice.

Definitely! I had forgotten that the Curly Katalox was Eric’s first Lambsfoot. I missed out on that initial drop and only got this one recently off the exchange.

Wow! Sounds fantastic In Yorkshire, free food could lead to a stadium disaster!

There were multiple checkpoints, doors and wristbands to keep the commoners from accessing the fancy suites and free food.

When I lived in Arkansas, we used to go up to St. Louis for Cardinals baseball games every summer. My favorite section in their new stadium (built in 2006) was in the outfield and included all-you-can-eat/drink food (hot dogs, nachos, etc.) and beer with your ticket.

We sat there for one game that ended up having a 2 hour rain delay. Fortunately, that section is covered, so we just sat there and ate and drank until the rain stopped. Unfortunately, the rule is that they stop serving beer 2 1/2 hours after the scheduled game time, so after the rain stopped and the game started, we got cut off in the 2nd inning.

LOL! Have you checked with the search function?!

I did. Only a few results for “dauphinois” (without the “e” on the end; I saw both spellings online and don’t really know which is right/better, as I never studied French). We make a similar dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we just call ‘em “scalloped potatoes.”

I think it's 30 years since I last had a cappuccino! Maybe more!

According to the internet, if you ask for one after noon in Italy, they’ll put you in the stocks.

They are fine knives I love the embossing on your pocket slip!

Thanks, Jack. The Katalox isn’t as eye-catching as the Afzelia Burl, but that also makes me less hesitant to put it to work, which is a plus.

The pocket slip was made by Lynch Leather for the Barlow Bearcat Club. The fact that the club logo consists of my initials is a nice bonus.

Still on this one. A quick shot on the deck rail before leaving for work.
