  1. Ooooooo... 😍 Ok... now they are on my new, updated 18th c Wishlist. 😉🏴‍☠️
  2. Neat examples. I've been lucky from time to time to find pewterware, including porringers. Plenty of pewter drinkware, too, like tankards and little alcohol sippers. All drinkware have solid bottoms to them, instead of the clear fake bottom. The more wonderful surprise, and I snatched them up quickly, were the Blue Danube or Blue Onion tableware as those are the closest I've seen to period tableware. Lord! Those plates back then were STUNNING! I even found tankard made in Holland that wasn't delft, but perfectly mimicked 18th century designs. All the above I've found at Goodwill over the years. The most difficult or impossible to find have been the 3 or 2 prong forks. A lot can pass for the spoons and knives, but nothing today can mimic the forks. Does anyone bring period like bottles? Like the onion bottle? 🏴‍☠️
  3. Don't ye hate when that happens? Well, glad Long Beach went well nevertheless. What very few pictures I've seen, and from two people reporting in after going to the event, it sounds like it was a lovely pirate event.
  4. A hearty piratical welcome to ye, master Bryan! 😉🏴‍☠️
  5. So... apparently PotC 1 is NOT showing in Iowa. I guess when Disney meant select, they really meant "let's show PotC in too few theaters and not show it in some states!" sort of thing. Foreign fans are livid. I don't blame them. Either way, watch PotC and post about it. Grab Disney's attention. There was a hint from Martin Klebba of PotC 6, so.. like it or not, we just might get another PotC film after all. 🏴‍☠️
  6. Rock on! Have fun sporting the new outfits. 😉🏴‍☠️
  7. A hearty welcome to ye, Master Wendell. 😉🏴‍☠️
  8. Awesome! Thank ye, Morgan! 😉👍🏴‍☠️
  9. Heads up! Disney is actually doing something! They are re-releasing films to theaters starting next month until October, and Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl is slated to be in select theaters (Marcus Theaters confirmed) in the US from July 7 - 21, 2023! So, we get PotC on it's 20th anniversary! I say let's show Disney that Pirates is still beloved and spread the word! 🏴‍☠️
  10. I've not yet planned that far ahead yet as there's been FAR too much happening this month, and for the next week and a half that I just can't get my head beyond July 1st. Sad, I know. However, I wish I could participate in something. I'm a bit marooned, as it were. Well, PotC led me to meet all ye fine people! Some in person! I've had some of amusing swashbuckling adventures, including some delightful moments pestering Jack Sparrow. PotC was, and still is, refreshing. And honestly never thought Barbossa's mysterious beloved would actually be used in the films. Surprise! At least Lady B has a proper name now. I know some fans are eager to do something, looking for something, wanting... something.
  11. Mr Bagley is a gem! He's got the best option! Aye, Mission. Checkpoint Security will definitely freak out about it, even if you inform them ahead of time and definitely inform them before you put the case on the x ray belt. Alas, telling them it's delicate historical surgical equipment might not work, but kindness does go a long way and hopefully the security person is having a decent day. Then again, I'm not sure they will allow you to take some of the items on the carry-on. I'd say check with the airline counter, but Mr Bagley's offer is genuinely best. That's my 2 doubloons worth from a former Checkpoint Security person. Yeah, it sucks flying with that sort of stuff.
  12. 😂 Has this turned into Lanterns Anonymous? If so, I may have to join ye lot. Do candlesticks count, too? Those are right nice lanterns, all. 🏴‍☠️😉👍
  13. Ahoy! Welcome back! 😉🏴‍☠️🍻
  14. Oooooo.... toss in the recipe nevertheless!!! I've got a feeling a Pub Cookbook needs to be compiled. 😉🏴‍☠️🤤
  15. Aye, I heard. Indeed very sad. Although glad he lives on in the films. No doubt he'll be sorely missed. 😔🏴‍☠️
  16. 🤤🤤🤤🤤 SO GOOD! Nothing beats smoked food. 🏴‍☠️
  17. I haven't yet, but I have some chicken in the frig just screaming to be used in this recipe. Tempted to make it on the grill outside.
  18. I've seen some good recipes float around on Social Media from Colonial Williamsburg, too, and thought I'd share this one first as this really sounds good I might try it on the grill. Chicken Pudding Recipe and looks easy as well as delicious. Feel free to post more Colonial Williamsburg recipes you found or liked.
  19. NICE!!! I've always wondered if those Painter's Tarps would work well and not have to be treated for weather (like rain). Then again, I've wondered about whether they would be good to mimic old, worn sails converted into a makeshift tent/shelter. That's a rock on, wild, cool display there, madPete! So, this a wedge tent or lean in to or a fly or bakers or something else? I'm intensely curious now! Can't wait to see photos of the event and everyone's projects. 😁🏴‍☠️
  20. As much as I love Iowa, I really feel the sea calling to me! It's a desire of mine to someday uproot and move to the coast. Blame a little bit of Beachfront Bargain Hunt and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives for feeding that long-buried love of the sea once I set foot in the Atlantic at Cocoa Beach long ago and nearly floated away (literally!). So, some of you who reside along the Carolina and Florida coasts as well as the Gulf Coast, start pitching your "This is a great place to live!" infomercial to me, please. It was Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head that inspired me to start hunting for a place to reside. I don't exactly plan to retire, but refire! Give me all the pirate events, hangouts, Margaritaville, No Shoes Nation, beach and coastal hot spots, bicycle friendly, "and wait there's more!" that you can tell me about. And... GO!
