Thanks for helping me to celebrate Yorkshire Day Guardians,

I love Malt vinegar especially on Fish and Chips and now on Chip Butty's

I love it on anything . Goes great with cold sausages.

One of my grandfathers came from Sciacca on the southern coast.
Garlic is always called for, when available.

There was a family by the name of Sciacca in my neighborhood (of many Sicilians) in Buffalo, NY!!
And there was a Social club with headquarters and an event hall called "MonteMaggiore Hall" in Buffalo!!

Yeah, I didn't do the chip butty challenge either, but I've thoroughly enjoyed today's posts

Happy Yorkshire Day, Guardians!

No chip butty for me today, but I did eat the last few tiny broken pieces of tortilla chips from the bottom of a bag - maybe they could be called "butt chippies".

Here's a Rosecraft Briarpatch Jack with a lambsfoot blade at one end, my most recent lambsfoot acquisition:

I’m trying my best and often failing to keep to a certain diet- so no Chippy’s for Duncan

But I wanted to play my part, in this Photo kind of represents the folks here in the Guardian.

A mix of old and new, long and thin or short and stout.
Happy Yorkshire day my friends!

Happy Yorkshire Day Jeremy, your cap looks a lot cleaner than mine!

Great to hear Pat, well done

Thanks Jack, I’ll take that as a challenge.

I wouldn't mate, , ya don't want to end up like Elvis and his deep fried peanut butter & jelly butty's.

Thanks for joining in the fun Leon

Worth knowing! When my sister started school, she had a classmate, Rosemary Flack, who came with a warning to keep vinegar away from her, as she would drink it - by the bottle!

That's quite a variety Duncan

I won the Yorkshire Day giveaway a few years ago - that was my first (of several) lambs and my first (of several) Sheffield-made knives. Now I carry a lamb everyday, and a Sheffield-made knife (sometimes a lamb, sometimes a different pattern) several times a week. So this is not a entry - if the winner of this year's GAW benefits even half as much as I did from my win, then it's a big day for them!

But I did eat a chip butty (made with sweet potato fries because I'm proudly Californian and we have to make things a little weird). It is doused pretty well with Henderson's (Strong and Northern!).

That looks good Tyson, nice sentiment my friend

 

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians, I'm afraid I have to work today, so I'm just stepping in briefly to wish you all a great weekend Thanks once again for helping me celebrate Yorkshire Day, and good luck to everyone who threw their hat in the ring for the giveaway Have a great day Guardians

That looks good Tyson,

A fine looking chip butty, i do love a bit of charcoal on some toast.

That looks delicious my friend! Well done Great pics Barrett

Thanks, Jack. The chip butty was definitely good (though you can’t tell from the pic, I made sure I had plenty of butter in there — it really does make all the difference).

Did you win the giveaway last year? I can't remember who did, the prize was a TEW Lamb with an engraved blade.

I think you might be right about that.

Interesting you should ask Barrett. Many years ago, screened porch (or @scrteened porch as we knew him then ) very kindly sent me some Tony Cachere's Louisiana Seasoning, which I think is very similar (flavoured salt basically). I use it sparingly, but like the good diners where folks say "Bam!" when they add it, I keep it on my table. I like to use it when roasting potatoes. I can buy chip spice for a fraction of the cost of Tony's, but I'm attached to it now, and I like having it. I'm guessing it'd be the other way round for you Barrett, with Tony's being cheaper? I forget the story about Hull's connection to chip spice, but it's kind of like Henderson's there, everyone has it, and they think the rest of the world doesn't know about it. For the past decade though, it's become a staple of virtually every British fish and chip shop, sitting next to the salt and vinegar on the counter.

I’ve definitely used my fair share of Tony Chachere’s in my life, probably have some in the pantry right now. Interesting to hear they’re similar. Yes, you can get Tony C’s just about anywhere here, and I doubt there are many places to buy the chip spice in the US (probably just those specialty online shops that carry British grocery items at a high markup), but I’ll have to take a look around.

Great pic, Duncan. I hope you’re at least allowed flat whites on your diet!

I should certainly be adhering to a better diet myself, but instead…

Julie and I drove up to Duluth, MN today to spend the weekend with some friends. My mom came up to stay at our place with the kids, and I think this is our first kid-free trip together in I don’t know how long.

On the drive up, we had a little time to kill (our friends were driving up separately from the Twin Cities and got a later start than we did), so we made a slight detour and stopped at Gordy’s Hi-Hat, an old school drive-in/diner type of place in Cloquet, MN. I had seen this place recommended somewhere before, and this is our first trip “up north” since we lived in Minnesota, so it was great to be able to try it out. It did not disappoint. Julie and I shared a fish sandwich (piled high with four pieces of perfectly fried fish), as well as some onion rings and fried cheese curds — both excellent (and the logical follow up to a chip butty for brunch.)

We have some outstanding accommodations for the weekend.

We don’t have the whole place, mind you — we aren’t that fancy. We’re renting a nice space on the third floor of this 1909 home.

Here are a couple panoramic pics from the balcony on the back side of the house. On the right side of this first pic, we should (hopefully) have a nice view of Lake Superior, but it’s currently so hazy from the wildfires in Canada that you can only just make out the lake in person, and not at all in photos.

Looking west you could really see the haze. It’s suppose to clear up as the weekend goes on, so I’m keeping my finger crossed.

Rose Beast again.

I switched a Merv 13 for the 11, in honor of the Canadian smoke. It's probably bad for these darn kids with their computers nowadays, too. They aren't a sensitive group yet, but they might become one sooner if they breathe enough smoke that's unhealthy for us important types.

My windows are open now because it was 58* when I got up. It's down to 73* inside.

According to my own research, the 13 is close enough to the 11 that it won't strain my blower. From which it might follow that switching to the 13 doesn't make much difference to my particulate intake, but why go there?

Good morning, Guardians! Rosie Burl on this fine Saturday morn. To celebrate a light summer rain in Dallas in the wee hours that brought the waking temp to 76.

I just switched my filter out for a higher rating myself. My clothes have been smelling of smoke the last few days.
