Actually, i did have haggis once...

[rtrapasso]

It wasn't bad, but...

[rtrapasso]

i am pretty sure i didn't actually have the "sheep offal" part...

[rtrapasso]

i just had (i think) some of the "stuffing" that goes inside the offal.

[rtrapasso]

Offal in this case referring to the stomach.

[rtrapasso]

Anyway, the stuffing part tasted like oatmeal that was highly seasoned...

[rtrapasso]

Not bad, as i said.

[rtrapasso]

i had it when i was in Scotland...

[rtrapasso]

On my honeymoon... [:)]

[rtrapasso]

Some sort of touristy thing in a castle with a Scottish feast...

Well, i would have had to start over again... but i don't think i'll do that... well, not right now... [;)]

BTW, i am pretty sure the haggis i had on my honeymoon wasn't a canned haggis... in case you were wondering.

Thanks,
He is ok now, but we almost had to go into the hospital yesterday because of dehydration. Amazing how fast a small child can go from healty to super-sick (and then back to healthy again thank God).

Thinking about starting in on Ken Burns' Civil War series.  I haven't watched it in 7 or 8 years.  I may try to talk my son into watching with me.  [:)]

I don't much care for the US Civil War, Mike. Many reasons that I won't go into here. But I very much enjoyed this series, as did my wife. This was my first exposure to Shelby Foote and he converted both of us to the series. It's probably a good series to watch with a young man to expose him to the issue. [8D]

Alex watched the first episode with me last night. The first has all of the lead in to the war and not much "battle stuff" except Bull Run, so I wondered how engaged he would be. As it was ending I looked over at him. He was looking at the screen and nodding, then turned to me and said, "That was good!" [8D]

Hurricanes game tonight, so Episode 2 will probably be tomorrow night. [:D]

I got to meet Shelby Foote while passing on the street in Memphis in the mid 90's. He was out for an evening walk in cutoff shorts and a beat up white tee shirt. LOL I recognized him immediately. I said, "Hello Mr. Foote." He smiled and replied, "Hello there" and kept on his way. My walking companion at the time said I acted like I had just met Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. [:D]
