Gah! Don't you ever eat traditional Egyptian cuisine? I've never tried North African desert food, but there must be some delicious dishes. Scrambled camel eggs with kif garnish or something?Quote:

I tried haggis when I was in Scotland. I'd probably get it again but I would have to share it with someone. I had a difficult time eating the whole thing because it was so heavily spiced. I met a woman there from Canada but who was Scottish. Her family did the Burns Supper every January. She was a big Burns fan and could quote a lot of his poetry. Including this one which of course is a ritual for the Burns Supper. You're actually supposed to talk to the haggis while reciting this.
Address to a Haggis by Robert Burns
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak yer place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my airm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dicht,
An cut you up wi ready slicht,
Trenching your gushing entrails bricht,
Like onie ditch;
And then, Oh what a glorious sicht,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmaist, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.
Is there that ower his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him ower his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
Oh how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his wallie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.
Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

My husband's so funny! He's been working on a christmas village complete with mountain range and roads (it's his seasonal hobby). The funny part is that there is a set of 'people' figures that my mom gave me, and there is a new set that he bought to scale for the buildings. I told him that his people look like hobbits and mine look like the race of men! :lol:
I have a Chistmas Village I usually put up, I bust out the Christmas Tunes and a little vino and decorate. This year I really have no place to put it, so I guess I'll skip the decorating and do everything else...
On a brigther note a vendor sent a small christmas tree to the guy in the office next to mine. Shopping today I found some small Star Wars ornaments that will be perfect for that tree!!!
...Rock'n rythme and blues baby, thats the real ticket........life is good..........
I'll definitely pass on this one... :sick:Quote:

This forum is so slow sometimes...
9/10 those were some hard questions though, good thing I used to pay attention in class.
Results:.....7/10 :(
Those questions were hard.....
4/10. I always hated Chemistry ... it's like math, only worse. :lol:
3/10 for music, believe it or not. I've been focusing more on folk tunes and I tend to play by ear.
no matter how home like it feels the internet is NOT home!!!
*have to rember that*
It's NOT!!!! :eek2:
ts not not home? or its not home *shock*??
a sauce is made from the ink of the octopus and then served over it. Turns your teeth blue for hours.
It's strange that there isn't a "Code for everyday-situations" because that would prove really useful sometimes. AND I could add an entry that goes like this "When you're about to take a shower and you see the cleaning lady standing next to the "shower compartments" with a big machine next to -her- and the only thing you understand from what she says is"Don't be afraid, please" - get suspicious!!
lol....I can't believe that was written on a Monday.
This site has been incredibly slow lately. It’s a bit annoying. Wonder what’s up!
Where did Dreaming Illusions go?
CHoclate I want choclate!!!!!!!!!!
Hey wheres kaltrina is she too sick to go to work today??
*worried smilie when I find one*
I can't believe I stepped in the cats canned food. Now it's all over my shoe and sock. I guess I better change them before I get cat food juice all over the house.
ooh, tasty! ;)
who here ate cat food when they were little? the dry stuff, i mean.
(i did of course, when i wasn't eating cheese.)
hey amuse,
yes I'm guilty of eating cat food, it was salty. I also ate the horse food, it was pretty good. Sweet and Oaty. or should I say, full of oats. oh, yeah, and the alfalfa pellets weren't bad either.
I've eaten dog bones, the milk bone kind.
hhmmmmm I have never had any of that. my whole family is alergic to all of that stuff... (i mean the animals, not the food)
a rather random thing that for me isnt really random- did y'all know that the quintessencial (yipes, is that right?) random # is 47. they even have a college dedicated to it, and a web site for it (47.net (i think))
oh ya...and why is it that wearing a cowboy hat makes the plainest men good looking??...teeheehee
:blush: Only once though. *g* I wanted to know how it tasted.Quote:

My husband spiked some old potporri with 100% peppermint essential oil and put it in a glass in my car's cup holder. Now every time I go somewhere my sinuses are cleared!
