Thursday #182-I'm Back

[Killearn Kitties]

I have all my cards ready for the PT Christmas card swap!!!

Howdy Y'all,

LOH it's good to see you're back & feeling a lot better. Redhedd,
good luck for the surgery tomorrow.

It's a cold, damp & dreary day here in Indy & I'd love a cup of coffee with
a splash of Baileys please. No food as I've already chowed down on sloppy
joes for supper.

[Killearn Kitties]

And sloppy Joe's would be what exactly??? mutter mutter mutter - the things you people eat! Grits, Miracle Whip, sloppy Joe's - incomprehensible stuff! I'll join you in a good coffee though!

[Lady's Human]

KK,

Sloppy Joes are ground meat in sauce on a bun. They're literally sloppy, but they are good!

I'll join you in a coffee and bailey's, Liz. It's a slow night at work, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. (I'm a tech, which translates into sitting around drinking coffee waiting for machinery or computers to die, then fixing them)

This is two slow nights in a row, and that just does't happen without something very ugly breaking to make up for the quiet time.

Oh, shame on me Karen. Just after I had already posted, I did realise
that not everyone might understand that term. Glad LH filled you in on the
sloppy joe term. They are very tasty, but practically require a bib to eat
them.

LH, I used to have a job very similar to what you are doing. The long
boring hours were taken up by crossword puzzles & good reading material.

Richard,

You don't want to know, trust me.

[Edwina's Secretary]

It is normally made with the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately an hour. It somewhat resembles stuffed intestines.

Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties"....



Poor Karen is sleeping and unable to offer any defense!

Perhaps we should serve some marmite? black pudding? soldiers?? Bangers and mash? or some.........haggis!

Should we introduce them to the delights of faggots.........

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh I really don't think you can say that on an American website. It gets somewhat "lost in translation"!

Yes, the Scots have given the world many wonderful things, including haggis! It is relatively recently that people in rich countries have become squeamish about what they eat. A couple of centuries back, I’m sure you would all have been very excited if I turned up in the bar with a haggis. You can get wimpy haggis encased in plastic, and also vegetarian haggis.

Good point!
