Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

I think I see an Easter Island statue in my ironwood:


What do you think?

 

[Jack Black]

Well, I have a new hero!
Did I hear correctly that he said he added "digested biscuits" to the fishing trip breakfast ?
If I heard correctly, please enlighten me. If not, I'll forget about the knife I'm considering and pick up a hearing-aid instead

Digestive biscuit
Description
A digestive biscuit, sometimes described as a sweet-meal biscuit, is a semi-sweet biscuit that originated in Scotland, and is popular worldwide. The digestive was first developed in 1839 by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion. Wikipedia

LOL! I have digested more than a few digestive biscuits myself! I have half a packet quarantined in my kitchen cupboard in fact!

Lucy may eat all your pancakes... Better buy her one of her own.

I'm glad Lucy wasn't too hungry, otherwise I might have had to sell a kidney!

Good Morning Guardians

Morning John, nice pic

Good morning John. Y'all have a great day!View attachment 1085398

Lovely Dwight

Lucy is a wonderful companion, Jack!
Youse guys got me excited about "pancake day" too, now. May eat some tonight myself.

Thank you Vince, hope you enjoy your pancakes my friend

Good day Guardians!

What're you reading Joshua? Cool pic

Terrific Tuesday Guardians, I think it's pancakes for the win today, Rosie agreed with me.

Count me in on that breakfast.


That thief doesn't look remorseful at all...but has good taste.

Wow, that is something I'll aspire to for my sharpening

Ahh, 'Lambsfoot Medley' the Guardians lullaby...you get right on that Kevin

The lovely Lucy and pancakes, who could ask for anything more?

Nice photo, lovely canister John, what is it's use?

Is that the old shell game?

Quite a unique Lambsfoot...I like it, what is the cover?

Great stuff Preston

I thought the whole point of pancakes was that they were inexpensive and filling? Hmm....not sure what has happened here, pancakes seem to have become a luxury item, and are no longer the simple, honest staple they once were here They even LOOK different (traditionally pancakes were crepes here)!

I hiked across town to a place that were advertising a Pancake Day bonanza - they didn't even have pancakes! They had what they were selling as 'drop scones' (and they couldn't even pronounce that correctly!!), and there was no choice at all! Two small bought-in "drop scones" with mushrooms and foliage, (they were actually quite tasty, but after a 3 mile walk, I'd have probably found a garden hedge tasty) - £10 with a cup of coffee!

I was hoping for something better in another place also advertising their Pancake Day experience. They had a sweet option - mango sorbet, flaked almonds, and coconut ice-cream - it was tasty, but where's the darn pancake?! £11 with coffee! Think they saw me coming!

I know that in the US (maybe Canada too), pancakes are still regarded as a staple, and served in decent quantities, at a reasonable price I would hope Don't let them mess with your pancakes friends!! Wishing all our Guardians a very happy Pancake Day

I have found that even the price of pancakes here have risen to accommodate the rise in wages. Anything that involves labor has risen in price no matter the material. Very seldom do I get out of an sit-down eating establishment for less than ten dollars.

I believe the reason pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday is to use up ingredients that used to be given up for lent, like butter, eggs, milk, etc. It wasn't just meat that was given up. I will enjoy my dinner tonight, and whatever snacks I may eat. Fasting tomorrow.

Incidentally, I think you are right about pancakes being a staple here. My mother used to make them often. Don't eat them much anymore, but many do.

Happy Mardi Gras, y'all!

Try Taco Bell: ate there yesterday for under $4! (Not GREAT cuisine but fast and cheap!)

I'm not sure there was much labour went into those 'pancakes'

I think you are right Vince I'm sure we also had them more often than once a year when I was a kid, and of course Yorkshire Pudding is essentially pancake batter, and was traditionally eaten separately to the main meal as an inexpensive item to fill up on

A couple of things which made me and Lucy laugh today, this photo in the paper of two old girl's enjoying themselves The statue is of a deceased British comedian, Eric Morecambe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Morecambe)

And this wee sign, spotted at the first eaterie we visited (with those prices, their patrons would HAVE to have a sense of humour! )

Good morning, Dwight. What an awesome shell!

Thanks John.

Is that the old shell game

Lovely Dwight

Thanks Jack.

Thanks Jack Black ! The book is a collection of Steinbeck novels. I read about half of East of Eden, but have put it down for other things. I was hoping to get back into it soon.

I finally was able to persuade all my Guardians to get together for a family portrait! It was quite an accomplishment! You have never in your life heard such bickering and whining over which one was the prettiest! I finally had to threaten to lock them away in the safe and only carry my other models. That shut them up in a second with no more problems!
