Sussexboy

It provided a very stable base to shoot from!

Too much of a rush this evening! It would have been even better if I had done so.

Had a busy day yesterday. After a quick visit to the meat van at the local market we made these bad boys. Cumberland sausage with extra sage, ‘cause that’s the way I like it. They morphed into a very nice toad in the hole for tonight’s supper before I go off to the rifle club.

Yes, it was a Spear and Jackson stainless steel fork. I have had it some years now. A new one is not expensive but it won’t be the same!

From what I understand, doesn’t welding move carbon molecules around inside the metal and change the metallurgical structure? The broken tine looks like quite a coarse crystalline structure in the cross section, much coarser than I would have imagined for stainless steel. So perhaps it is a low quality steel. It has served me well up to now though.

I don’t know, it’s all wizardry to me! If I remember I will find out when I pick it up.

Long awaited update, I am sure you have all been on the edge of your seats wanting to know what happened to that Sussexboy’s favourite garden fork. Well to cut a long story short, I finally caught up with my welding buddy on a shoot today and passed on the said fork. It is at this moment sitting on a bench in his shop awaiting his not so tender ministrations. Watch this space…………

Three pages now, awesome value 😂😂

That is a very tasty looking plate of food. I can almost taste it just looking. Great photos again.

The tart was just as nice cold on day 2!

PW gold again, I love how these threads develop 😂😂 It’s a good thing I didn’t tell you about the gochujang rack of ribs for the main course…..where would that have gone?

Don’t see many desserts on here, so here is tonight’s offering. Pear and fig tarte tatin with crème fraîche. Very good it was too.

My wife was short of years for the full pension. We invested something like £780 in 2022 to buy the cheapest missing year. When we got the pension forecast in 2023 as part of our annual financial review she was a penny short of the full pension, fast forward to 2024 and it has been rounded up to the full pension amount. As you say, a good investment.

That looks so good, great job!

There you go…… Just been out to the garage fridge and turned it over. The bacon that is, not the fridge 😁
