Self-raising flour seems to be more of a "thing" in the UK; it's actually kind of hard to find here. Easy to make, though.

I suppose I have not bought Bisquick in decades. In my Boys scout Camping days, it was a staple. First married, a staple. Then I figured we always had flour baking powder, baking soda, cream of tarter on hand anyway, so I can handle adding my own raising agents. And then our flour is nearly universal for baking, except for the rare need for cake flour. Brad
Shroom'de'cream ..soup..
We smoked a duck! It looks burnt to a cinder, but is actually just caramelized from a combination of Oyster sauce, citrus marmalade, and Grand Marnier. Initial dry rub of 5 spice powder. Delicious!
Oh man!!! Sign me up for that Duck!!! Damn , I’d eat that and suck the bones dry!!!
Slammer!!!
Reheated country style BBQ ribs in a red wine sauce. Every bit as good as I might have predicted.
The local pub, the Grizzly, is surprising me with my dinner tomorrow night.
I wonder what it will be.

Yum!
Breakfast this morning. A layer of pound cake, a layer of mushed sugared red raspberries, and topped with half of a cream cheese muffin. Drizzled with heavy cream. And a pic for a farewell to the Paddy’s Day weekend. A display with a collection of clay pipes. Brad

Pork ribs with a BBQ dry rib rub always come out looking burnt to a crisp but not so. Just a crust.
Imagine sitting down to 1" thick strips of juicy, tender bacon.
In the South, it's Self-Rising, not raising. Check out Martha White----with Hot Rize!

Brad, I've written and deleted two rambling explanations of how I found it, but cutting to the chase will save you all some eye strain. I couldn't believe when I saw your pipe collection just now. Earlier today I had to drive a Side by side to a very remote location along a railway that was built in the 1870's. I got to an air shaft to a tunnel some 300ft below and stopped for a pee. There was a spoil heap next to the shaft and whilst I was watering the grass I spotted the clay pipe in the pic below. The navvies who constructed the railway were 70% English and 30% Irish - I just can't believe that after finding this today, I should log onto BHO and see your collection of clay pipes.
Totastads..!
The pub sent me a big messy loaded burger in a brioche bun with fries. Boxed up and nice and hot.
I got a 2X order of cole slaw, a nice green salad and the real surprise was 2 more brioche buns AND a 4" x 6" x 1 1/2" slab of Alaskan cod.
The salad and the cod, I'll have tomorrow.
Time to start growing salad things in pots. Grocery store or the pub, the price of greens is considerable.
It ain't just rabbit food any more.

My wife did a deep google dive on the history of these pipes, and how they were used, and the factories they made them. one interesting note, is that is was popular to dip/soak the mouth-end of the pipe into the spirit you were drinking at the time. All of ours are new, made out your way. They can be dated and have different designs each year, etc. She hopes to find a Longgggg stemmed pipe (12-18 inches-ish) like one sees in old paintings of the early days of America and elsewhere. Seems those helped tame cheap tobacco? Brad
No picture, but for early dinner I made Chicken Bake.
Basically a Chicken breast diced up in some homemade potato bread stuffing (the stuffing, not the bread, lol), and a jar of gravy dumped on top, then into the oven for half an hour. Quick and easy.
Leftovers tonight from my Pub supper last night = big slab of Alaskan cod, big green salad and I have yet to make pan fried yam sticks.
Together with the big burger & fries, along with a 2X pot of cole slaw, $44.00, delivered to my kitchen.
The green salad and the cole slaw together was $20.00. No surprise with the way that veg prices are going.
The "mudlarkers" who comb the banks of the Thames seem to find lots and lots of those pipes in various conditions. Apparently they were a throwaway item - some even came pre-loaded with tobacco. You'd smoke it once and then toss it.

When I was a kid, Dad and us boys toured quite a number of early fur-trading outposts. Operated by the Hudson's Bay Company and the Northwest Company. Really barren sites, maybe a few pits in the ground ( cellars?)
We did our share of digging for square iron nails. What we did find were shards of a blue design on white ceramic pottery and a "layer" of the smashed, throw-away(?) clay tobacco pipes. Seemed an inch thick in some digs.
I can't imagine what happened to all the stuff we collected. Not surprised if it got tossed.
Grilled beef tips n veggies...
Tortellini soup with vegetables, hot sausage and grated Locatetelli cheese. After a tough day, I downed four bowls.
Terry is frying up a pair of thick bone in pork chops ! We ordered 2lbs. of Mortons Tender Quick on a whim Friday night. It came yesterday . Gave them a quick cure with some fresh herbs. Brown them up & finish them in the oven!
