The Adventures of Pearl !!! Host list post's #22 and #23

[Jsega51]

I would love to have Pearl come to visit me in late February or early March, and I could show her how to make maple syrup in northwestern Pennsylvania!

Not sure what town you’re in but if Pearl needs to see her birthplace, I’m just over the hill in Olean! I can swing down and see if they’ll let me in the factory lol.

They gots jalapeños in Oz?!?

Oh yeah, they're really popular here. We have jars of the pickled ones that look exactly like the ones on your enchiladas, and the fresh ones are in every supermarket. Sriracha sauce made from jalapeños, is the 'in' thing at the moment with the hipster foodie crowd, too. I think people like them as they're a bit more predictable in their heat than some of the deadly little birds-eye chillis, some of which have been handed down in Chinese families, and bred for their intense heat since gold rush times. Slicing up a little pile of pickled jalapeños is actually my first step, if I want to induce a blade patina.

Ha ha, keep those awesome Texas food pics coming! You've sent me to the kitchen with recipe ideas a couple of times in the last week or so!

That'd be a fantastic tour, Jake. I'm sure you'd not be short of great places to show Pearl in your neck of the woods!

Here's a bit of a teaser of some of r8shell 's previous 'practice' scrimshaw work, on a RR Stockman, which has already garnered a bit of fame as an iconic Porch knife.

It's currently doing the rounds in mrknife's never ending GAW box.

Nature Boy , I hope you don't mind me quoting your comments and pics here.

(You'll need to click on the attachments, unfortunately, to see the pics.)




And a few more pics to set the mood of our favourite virtual hangout...

Don't mind at all! In fact, I was kind of hoping something like this might happen...
I'm in r redden et al.!!

 

[r8shell]

A friend came by and gave me a bag of Texas pecans. I guess the pecans are dropping out where she lives west of town, since I'm not seeing any in the city yet. Pecans tend to alternate every other year, and I thought this was going to be an off year. Sat on the porch with pearl and cracked a few.


Then I headed over to a neighborhood BBQ/Potluck in the afternoon:



Pearl will hang out with me for another day, and then I'll send her off to Randy on Monday!

Certainly seems like Pearl is getting to enjoy some good food down there in Texas!

+1 to that!

r8shell is a batch of Pearl’s Famous Pralines in the works?

Could happen.

This old porch is just a long time waiting and forgetting
And remembering the coming back, not crying 'bout the leaving

Thanks, Jack!

Echo, Pearl, and I are waiting for the rain to let up.

 

[r8shell]

The sun came out, so I ran few errands, and stopped by a friend's place to help with a few chores.

Pearl and I flirted with a couple of cowboys.

r8shell Grand picture of those Pecans, love shelling them as they're a wonderful nut! Where's the Pecan Pie??

Can't get my cat monster to stay still like yours and pose all docile with a nice knife she carries them off or plays paw-ball with them - recipe for cracked scales...

 

[Cambertree]

Great pics r8shell. I especially liked the ones with the pecans on your porch, and Echo cradling Pearl.

And you're making me hungry again. What a tasty looking BBQ plate.

I'm trying to cut back on sugar consumption, so I'm just eating the pecans plain, but if we get more next month there will be Thanksgiving pies!

Echo is pretty cooperative if I catch her in the right mood. When she's just a grey blur running past, I don't bother to pull out the camera.

Thank you! I'm getting hungry again, too. After this weekend playing host, I think I'll stick to salads this week.

Pearl is on her way to Randy, and I look forward to seeing all the places she will go.

Pearl is back home for a couple of weeks. She spent yesterday hanging out with some of her Case family we are going to try to get started on some pictures today we'll keep you "posted"

 

[Emspop]

What a fun adventure! I would be honored to show Pearl around a bit of Nebraska. Perhaps neal70 and I could team up since I just discovered this morning we live in the same town!

 

[neal70]

Sounds good E Emspop ! You can mail her back to Randy then...lol.
Thanks, Neal

 

[Ramrodmb]

If I sign up next, I might be able to meet up with Neal and pass her on that way... or, its a short ride to Omaha, Ne.
