Wowza
that is gorgeous! Chip butty, yeah that sounds delicious. 
I'm really enjoying all the Waynorth lambs being posted, and even happier to see them in possession of the Guardians! I have my Cosimo pecan lamb today as usual, what a work of art. Great Jeremy slip for it too, thanks buddy. I hope you all have a great weekend!

A rare day shift for me on this cold Wisconsin day. Got the Charlie lamb riding in the pocket. It was used for my left over pork chops for dinner. Yum. The etch on it is slowly being hidden.
This photo was taken from an observation post at work. You can barely see the old vehicles that mortar sections use for direct lay training. We switched these out last spring and they will be a pile of twisted steel and rust before too long.

That’s really neat, thanks for sharing. Interesting how words and names can evolve over time. My wife is from the Philippines and grew up always having the trees on her family’s properties. Naturally when we bought our house here in Hawaii we planted two trees. She uses them in a lot of dishes for flavoring or marinades. Both trees were really going off this year so we gave a bunch of fruit away and juiced and froze the rest.Looks great! While I reached my quota in my mid-twenties and now abstain from alcohol - I would certainly slurp up all that Calamansi juice, minus The Queen's Tears, of course!
I think I've mentioned it before but I grow, what I call, Calamondins - which turned out, upon further research, to be the exact same species as Calamansi. For some reason, when they first began to be imported to the US (I believe at least partially through the effort of David Fairchild as two of the original imported specimens still grow, AFAIK, on the property of the Vizcaya estate - the former home of Fairchild's friend, James Deering, of the Deering-McCormick-International Harvester fortune) the name "Calamondin" stuck in this small regional bubble. Now that the rest of the world seems to call them "Calamansi," we down here in South Florida just sound like a bunch of weirdos.
I've eaten these things my whole life as my parents also had a tree due to their home being built by another local horticulturist, who I also believe was friends with Mr. Fairchild and likely also received a specimen from that original import - and if you don't know, let me tell you - they are very, very tart! Tart may even be an understatement. Sour might be more accurate. But here's the thing - I recently discovered that, unlike mandarins that have the majority of their sweetness and acidity nicely balanced within the meat of the fruit itself, Calamondins (or Calamansi) sequester all of their acidity within the meat and all their sweetness in the peel!!! Since acquiring this knowledge, I now just pop the whole thing in my mouth, peel and all, and it's a much more pleasant and balanced experience than eating the interior on it's own as one would do with the majority of common citrus fruits!

Nothing better than a fishing trip.Spent this Friday evening sitting down with my father in law knocking out the final details of our fishing trip together in the NT next month over a few red wines. Hopefully barramundi, mud crabs and who knows what else to come!
At one point Hannah said “hang on, he’s my dad why is he taking you for a holiday instead of me?”

Vietnamese is delicious !!! Lamb is looking great, Jack.
That lamb is mesmerizing, Kurt. Wow.
Great pic as always, Steve.
Those flowers warmed me right up until I had to hop out the work truck for a second. It’s cold out there. Great picture.
That is a great knife, Pat. The color of the bone is my favorite of the lot.Wowza

Hot Cheetos. To eat or not to eat……what would Tool Man do ? Let’s weigh the pros and cons.
Pros
1. They are delicious
2. They remind me of home
3. If I eat these that means my kids won’t which means their mother won’t yell at me because they have red fingers.
Cons
1. My stomach hates them
2. If I don’t eat them Tool Man will know somehow and be ashamed of me.
Verdict
I have to eat them
Pros
1. They are delicious
2. They remind me of home
3. If I eat these that means my kids won’t which means their mother won’t yell at me because they have red fingers.
Cons
1. My stomach hates them
2. If I don’t eat them Tool Man will know somehow and be ashamed of me.

Awesome! I'll have to see if I can find some recipes - I'd love to get more use out of them in the kitchen. As it stands, I use them when making spiced apple cider (just toss a couple in the pot while it's simmering) around the holidays, as a substitute (or addition) to lemon or lime in seafood marinades, calamondin-ade in the summer, eating raw, and that's about it.
Beaucoup Vitamin C!!
