We're on Afternoon Tea across the pond.

A pot of Earl Grey tea, china cups, milk in a china jug, open prawn sandwiches (with the crusts cut off) and tasty home-made flapjack bites to follow.

Sounds super yummy!!

Thought I would share another of one of the boys doing the day job yesterday. The bray face is almost vertical so without them a lot of birds would never be found let alone picked and put in the bag.

Wow that’s a steep hill!

And he found and retrieved the bird. Good boy!!

So well trained!

I'm not proud like some of you are of service in the Vietnam war but at the end of .1977 I was in the 27th MASH unit. I don't talk about it, more like I Won't talk about it!

Home from weaseling. Too peopley, too many weasels, too much weaseling. No idea what I'll do tomorrow when there really will be weasels present. I am so over people by this time of day.

The PM may have fucked the dog on a couple of things here. We walked the new/last job with the architect today. He told us what we needed to do, and we have fucked it up to date. Additionally, we were s'posedta change all of the tub valves. Number of tub valves changed to date: 2. We're like behind 250 of them.

I did hear back from Bob, the NJ car guy, about the '26 Chrysler. The owner is a woman, probably the widow of the guy who actually owned said auto. Still fucking their fists about a motherfucking valve stem.

People suck. I’m tired of Them, in general.

Our flapjacks are made with oats, sugar (I prefer honey), raisins or cranberries. Sometimes they are covered in chocolate.

I’ve never had the English variety. I must try!

Here a flapjack is a pan fried cake. Flour (or buckwheat, my fave), milk, eggs… a few other thingS, covered in maple syrup.

The missus likes them w peanut butter too.

What?!? And completely shut off a perfectly good revenue stream???

Nominee: Out of Context Quote of the Day

Here in the US, we would call those either a Granola Bar or an Oat Bar.

In the US, flapjack is synonymous with pancake or hot cake.

US Pancake/Flapjack (Thick, fluffy)

• UK Equivalent: Pancake (but usually thinner, more like a crêpe) or Scottish Pancake (thicker).
• Description: Made with a leavening agent (like baking powder) for fluffiness, pan-fried.

UK Flapjack (Oat bar)

• US Equivalent: Granola bar, oat bar, or cereal bar.
• Description: Baked bars of rolled oats, butter, brown sugar, and syrup, cut into squares.

Key Difference
US: Flapjacks = Pancakes (batter).
UK: Flapjacks = Oat bars (baked).

That's it for me...

Pic of the day??? Just laughed out loud in bed!

 

[Wonderer67]

Long night so far. Can't seem to shake this cold. Pounding headache tonight, decided to finally have a small snack and take something for it.

Hope you all had a better day than I did.

When I'm not feeling good, lazing around (why does autocorrect suggest aerola for around? Anyway...), eBay tends to have a pretty good day too...

Goodnight all.

Feel better, bud!

 

[Wonderer67]

Like I don't have enough lacquer to smell around here!

I finished my Christmas nails yesterday!

I tired to order weather tech mats for Mrs wonderer today and yesterday and then are is not working right.

Should I order on my laptop to see if that will change things? Or try to cop some more zzzzzzs.

I’m sort of up…

Heh heh. I said up.

A good definition of US vs UK pancake vs flapjack. My dad would call our pancakes a “flapjack”. I make an oat bar for breakfast quite often. I like the recipe and want to try it.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Thanks for going the extra mile with the flapjack / pancake analysis!
What you call flapjacks are sold as pancakes in the UK, always best served warm with butter and/or honey or maple syrup.
The industrial UK flapjacks / oat cakes are often disgusting, made with cheap fats and too much processed garbage.
The home-made ones, on the other hand, are glorious inventions with all manner of fruity and nutty flavours.

Any recipes for breakfast using steel cut oats that are unique to the UK? I found some recipes online but not sure they are unique to the UK.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Any chance to re-tube them? Lots of tire groups forget about tubes when your wallet is out.....

Sure there is, if they'd simply take some initiative, get off their collective fucking asses and get 'er done. Wat would have had this simple shit sorted or an appointment for sorting by now. Wankers.

How is it that time speeds up so fast this time of year?

Are you feeling better today?

Not really... i cant wait for the weekend

Decent work pants, like jeans which aren't fucked, a collared shirt - the other guys wear company polos, but Wat hates polos and polyester, so he wears what he owns (think: cotton) and a ball cap with the company name on it - and "boots." No one wears boots, really, so Wat wears track shoes and keeps boots in the car for crappy days. He will wear his sweater to the Xmas party.

I was just thinking the other day it's probably a good thing I don't have cats! My tree would be irresistible to them!

TDK would make such an adorable top-of-tree ornament with her pretty face and intently watching/staring eyes and her beautiful plumage . . .
