Before all else, this is a delicious dish. It might not be haggis proper but it is very very good. Since a traditional style haggis sits outside modern sensibilities, and in the United States, outside available ingredients, the old-style lights, heart and tongue sausage is simply out of the question. Since tradition is out, might as well give vegetarian a shot.

Many people, if they endeavor to create cake at all, choose to make cake from a box. Whether one of the more popular, instantly recognized name cakes or a lesser known, top shelf, hoity-toity cake, they elect the box cake path none-the-less. Considering the disadvantages of preservatives, old ingredients and artificial flavoring, there must be some great, hidden advantage of a cake mix.

It’s been unseasonably cold, snowing and blowing here; and when it’s unseasonably cold in these parts, it’s chilly, willy cold. After a morning of shoveling the twinkling white dust of early snow; cheeks red with the crisp kiss of clear Winter air; feeling refreshed and energized, a body can do with a steaming plate of comfort food.
