Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

My first attempt at making mincemeat pies for Christmas this morning. My Mother always made these for Christmas and now that's she's gone I figured I would give it a try.

Making the shortcrust dough was pretty easy, I did that yesterday. Rolling it out and filling is a bit fussy but also not too hard.

Turned out pretty good if I don't say so myself

They pass the taste test as well, witnessed by '19

I hope everyone's week is going well !
The 19 is perfect for guarding those pies.
Your pies look delicious Steve.👌

Good show my friend. Sure looks good! :thumbsup: 🤠
 
Thanks Todd, it's more scenic in the area closer to my hotel. I'm hoping I get a few decent pics, with the very bright sunshine, and my photochromic lenses, it's nigh on impossible to see anything more than my reflection in the camera screen! 🙄😁👍
Looking forward to those photos! 😎👍
Last day of work till after Christmas 🎄 !!!!! Regular day at work accept we all pitched in for BBQ at the local smokehouse. Got Jack’s ‘19 lamb in the pocket. Have a great day, Guardians.

Hard to beat BBQ and a lamb. 😎👍

Impressively dark! 😎😊👍
I have a few pair of those. I've been using this short one for our few ice days so far, though I have proven myself capable of falling on ice even with two sharp-toed trekking poles.

Projected high of 40 today and 54 on Christmas!
Mine are Lekis too Jer (I only have one pair left, having given the others away over time). It must be 10 years since I last used them. I've got a cupboard full of crampons! 😁
Playing slip and slide at our age is no fun!!😟
No, I fall a lot heavier than I did at 20! 😱 Or even 40, come to that! 🙄😁👍
I mentioned my tumbling for seniors idea to my shoulder therapist. People always laugh at us geniuses.
It's a good idea Jer 😁😎👍

Well done Steve, those look very impressive 😋😊👍
Some much needed rain has been coming down heavy here. I did my errands and anticipate being indoors the rest of the day. I love it. I got the holiday lights on to help me get into holiday spirit.

Very good :) Spectacular Lamb 😎👍

Good looking Lamb today. Looks like some really nice weather to enjoy.
Thank you David, my walk has worn me out! 😁 I'm just having a beer, and trying to keep awake! 🥱 My party days might be over I'm afraid🙄👍
 
Along the way, I had a strange encounter with a couple of Spanish lads in their late teens, I would guess, outside one of the Rubicon shopping centres. They hailed me in Spanish, addressing me as amigo, which seemed a little strange considering our age difference. After I spoke to them, they asked if I was English, and when I said yes, they both threw their arms up, saying "Yay! That's what we like! We love the English!" Then, they both shook my hand very warmly, wished me a good day in Spanish, and went off chatting excitedly! I thought maybe they had had a bet on my nationality or something! 😁

Did you check your pockets afterwards? 😉😁

Grabbed Gidge for Wooden Wednesday. So many beautiful lambs added recently, both new and old, are really spicing up the photos!
Enjoy your travels, Jack, it looks nice there.

Those look tasty, Steve! It’s great to carry on traditions like that. I have to make some of my grandma’s cookies soon. I usually make two or three batches, give some to the neighbors, and enjoy the rest ourselves.

I got new tires (or tyres, for our British and antipodean Guardians) on my truck today. While waiting, Scout and I walked around the Target store next door to the tire place. I may or may not have bought myself a Christmas present that I had previously said I didn’t need to spend the money on. 🙄😁 Katalox Albers in my pocket today.

I don't know that I fall any heavier, but I sure don't bounce as good.
LOL! 😁 I think that's true of all of us, but I'm definitely a good deal heavier than I was 20 years ago! 😱 🙄 😁
You've really captured that well Steve 😎👍
Did you check your pockets afterwards? 😉😁
I made sure I kept them at arm's length! 😁 I've spent a lot of time in Barcelona, the pickpocket capital of Europe! 😱😉👍

LOL! 😁👍
Jack Black Jack Black what temps are you getting there? Looks nice, I thought it'd be cold and winter over there!
In the 70's I reckon Jack, plenty of folks swimming in the sea 👍 Lanzarote is off the coast of Africa 😁 I'll have to check the mercury tomorrow as I'm just guessing 😊👍

Wow great knife & a Leki Wanderfeund high five walking stick with cork handle 🤩 I'm jealous that model didn't make it to Aussie shores.
Great combo mate!
