Just having my first coffee on Saturday morning. Hope everyone had a great Christmas with family and friends. From all the posts looks like everyone did. I had a new culinary experience for lunch on Christmas day, and i loved it. Roast Goose, it was just so good. .

I haven't had it for years, but goose is the best bird I've had for Christmas dinner Leon My former brother-in-law cooked it one year, and I remember the bird being bigger than my 15 month old daughter! Good-looking oak

Taylor's Eye Witness Lamb, with synthetic handles!! I had it out to cut chestnuts for roasting - works perfectly!!View attachment 3059778View attachment 3059779

Oh the camel!!! My 8 yr old grandson bought it with his pennies for Grampa, for Christmas, at a school fundraiser! His Mom quoted him,

"Grampa will love it!!" Such a smart and generous kid!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

Great knife for the job Charlie I love your camel, what a thoughtful lad

Charlie, I did some practical cutting with a lamb you may recognize yesterday. Shallot prep two ways: latitudinal for braised green beans and longitudinal for roasting with peppers. View attachment 3059914View attachment 3059915

Great cutting!

The kids gave money towards a new lap top for Christmas. I was using an inherited 1 from Lilly it died, so I've been using Kristy's work 1.
So I did some research Christmas night & boxing day morning. Well I found a Chromebook I liked at electronics retailer on sale for boxing day. The retailer has 4 outlets literally 15 minutes drive from us. So Kristy and I had a boxing day adventure.
At the store the young fella tried to tell me they had none in stock and sell me something I didn't want, till I showed him on the website and he put the code in his hand held reader, whole attitude changed.

Kristy and I had lunch out & I even got an Oliver brown coffee, same as my local that closed


P.S
Kristy made me a little container of those good Anzac biscuits, well the kids cleaned me out. I got none.....

Congratulations Mitch, I was just admiring how spotlessly clean your keyboard was! Bad news on the biscuits though

A late “Merry Christmas” to everyone. I’ve been off work for a few days but have been so busy with the holidays and spending time with family I’ve not had time to do anything else. My kids sure are spoiled, in the best possible way, and I’m trying not to lose my mind tripping over new toys every few minutes

Looks like everyone did, but I hope you all had a good time.

Good morning Guardians, it feels kind of strange for a Saturday here! I went down to Matt's last night, with presents for everyone. THey were all particularly impressed with their new Christmas tree bauble! We had a couple of beers, and then me and Matt went out to the event we were attending at a local community centre. It was advertised to start at 10pm, which seemed late, and by the time we got there it was 11. When we walked in there was no sign of anyone, just a load of balloons waiting to be put up. In the main room, there were 3 people, who looked like they'd just started decorating, and the bar was closed. We went to the other bar, and that was closed too, and there was nobody else in the building! What a joke! No great loss anyway, we went back to Matt's and had a bottle of wine Not sure what I'm going to do today, I don't really feel like doing much Waboom in my pocket Have a good day Guardians

yeah the keyboard won't be that clean for to long. I forgot to add the closest 1 was 50 minutes drive up the freeway hence the adventure.
I'm used to the kids claiming my food. Better chance to try and stop the rising or setting of the sun.
Have a great day.

I hope the staff had a party after all guests had given up.

The stockings were $4 each at Lowe's. No returns on clearance items, but the white one was a mistake. I'm not working today, but I left my umbrella in the break room again, so I'll see if they have another red sock, and have a look at any remaining Christmas tree skirts. They're not something I ever bothered about, but hiding the skeletal base of the artificial tree might not be a bad idea if it's cheap enough.

Morning Guardians. Nothing new here. We’e been getting rain from an atmospheric river called the Pineapple Express. The power often goes out but it’s not staying out too long. I noticed the power company has been working on the lines and it seems their work has helped. I sure hope I didn’t speak to soon and we’re out for a week. Oh the turkeys are still here. First time I remember them staying around during winter.

This K’roo was my first lambsfoot. At the time I figured I’d get just one. And waboom before I know it I have a bunch and look forward to Thursday’s Market Report to hear what Tool Man and boys are up to. I have yet to finish the Teddy Boy book.

Good morning Guardians !


G. Butler today. Our warm snap is about to end with a winter storm warning coming for tomorrow into Monday.

Morning Guardians! Another day in the mid seventies. This Lamb came with a atrocious edge. I'm slowly working on it. Happy trails

Waboom in my pocket

Always nice to see Waboom, Jack! Happy Saturday, Guardians. The last one of 2025. Fun morning today in Mississippi. First I sneaked Charlie’s lamb onto Granny’s fat little chihuahua before he realized what I was doing and scampered away.
Then I walked down to the water with my first cup of coffee and Callie the pup. Fishing has been slow this week so I thought I’d try an artificial shrimp on my spinning rod in a rod holder for a relaxing wake-up. This little redfish (called a Red Drum in other parts) decided to come play
Reds are gorgeous fish, delicious to eat too. They are like the golden retrievers of the shallow saltwater fishing. Always eager to chase something!
This one is too small to keep so I released it to get bigger and make babies. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Well, there was a promise of food, but I didn't actually see any! Christmas tree skirts sound very Victorian Jer!

I hope your power is OK Kurt I'm glad you have stuck around, your first Lamb is a fine example With both Christmas Day and New Years Day falling on Thursday this year, it's going to be a while before I see Tool Man

Good morning Guardians !

Thanks Dave, love the pics! Enjoy your fishing buddy My maternal grandfather even used to go fishing on Christmas Day!

Waboom is looking good Jack, have a great day !

Thanks Steve

 

[Jack Black]

I hope everyone is having a good day I haven't been out, been enjoying lollygaggin' I had a strange hankering for fish earlier, and this was the best I could find in the freezer, couple of cod steaks

 

[cudgee]

goose is the best bird I've had for Christmas dinner Leon

Absolutely no argument from me on that score. .

 

[screened porch]

Christmas tree skirts sound very Victorian Jer!

Heavens forfend anyone should get a glimpse of a tree's limb!
I passed on the tree skirt but bought the last red sock.

 

[Angry Waiter]

Good morning Guardians, it sounds like everyone has had a great Christmas, and while the big day is over for another year, I'm sure there's still food to eaten, presents to be given, and visits to be made to friends and relatives. That's certainly the case here, where I still have an over-stuffed fridge, and a bunch of presents to give. I'll give Wolfie a call in a bit, and see what he's up to, and I'm headed down to Matt's this evening. Have a good day everyone

Howdy Guardians

Warm and cloudy here today. I spent the day getting the car ready and packing for a trip to Tennessee. I'm planning on leaving Monday. Might go tomorrow if the weather looks good, but its supposed to rain with a precipitous drop in temperatures.
Planning to watch the Missouri Tigers in the Gator Bowl this evening. Hope everybody is having a pleasant day.
