Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

My father-in-law was in the signal corps and stationed on New Guinea, too. He was at Hollandia for a long time, and then went with the force that invaded Luzon at Lingayen in January 1945. Near Lingayen is Dagupan, where he met my mother-in-law.

One of the few things he told me about that time was that for 18 months on New Guinea, they had nothing but corned beef for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (the stereotype of the US Army serving nothing but spam did not hold true for his unit, they had nothing but canned corned beef). He said that for Thanksgiving 1944 they had a real traditional meal, with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, the whole nine yards. He said that after all that corned beef that Thanksgiving meal was so good.

The US troops that went to the Philippines brought corned beef with them, and ever since then corned beef has held an important part in Filipino cuisine. If you go to a Filipino grocery store anywhere in the states, you see a large selection of corned beef from Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand.

I like corned beef, but you can have too much of a good thing! In a war-torn country in the 1970's, I had to live on nothing but eggs and flat-bread. That only lasted a month, but I haven't eaten a boiled or fried egg since!

Full Moon. ???

Yeah, maybe!

 

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was pretty quiet - until last night! I've got my Bagpipe Big 'Un with me today Have a good week everyone

I like corned beef

There is corned beef, and there is corn beef. Silverside pickled in brine, then cooked, is fantastic.. Out of a can, i will pass if you don't mind.

I ate it in the Middle East, fried, with onions, in olive oil, and it was heaven after all those eggs!

Even sounds magnificent. And with some good old English mustard sauce, now you're cooking.

She was a class act all the way.
Yup, a great knife.
I was wondering why I didn't save the Playboy with the Diana Rigg interview, but I guess it wasn't my Playboy. Somebody else had brought that to church camp.

Hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend I think I'm going to start my week with my Bagpipe Ebony Big 'Un

Had a very nice weekend Jack, thanks for asking. That bagpipe ebony looks so nice that I'm going to follow your lead and carry mine today. Abit rainy this morning but we need it.

Definitely Jer Her daughter doesn't have her presence at all, but she was in quite a nice series, with her mother, a few years ago. I know Barrett btb01 is a fan

Caution - One use of Anglo-Saxon!

Great to see Old Toffee Wings

She's a fine writer.
Funny, though, how so many fine actors leave you sitting back and appreciating, but a few knock you down and leave you gasping on your back.

That looks like a good show, though the trailer runs long enough to make me think maybe not. Is the old guy at the door Mick Anston, long-time honcho of the Time Team archaeologists?

Very true Jer It really looks like Mick Anston doesn't it?! I don't know if that was intentional, but it's actually a guy called David Sterne. It's a rather sweet, gentle comedy, filmed in a beautiful part of southern England, where I think it only ever rains once!

Jack, those crumpets pikelets look tasty! It's been a while since I've had any. I can get them at Trader Joe's here, but they cost more and aren't as good.

It really is a fantastic show!

I've been slacking on my Lambsfoot duties lately, having gotten hooked on a beefy GEC with a different kind of foot. Here's a recycled photo of my Ironwood Guardians Lambsfoot.
