Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Nothing wrong with haggis.

Well,
I give myself permision to make it however I want.
I prefer beef to sheep, and I can't find any kind of casing bigger than a bratwurst.
So, the ingredients will be beef liver, kidney, heart, & shank w/onion,steel cut oats & spices wrapped in cheesecloth instead of intestines. It's still sausage, "The king of the puddin' race!"
So, not original, however it is a dish prepared all over the world in different ways with different ingredients.
The Scots don't have a patent on the idea!

Pint, I'm a bit Scot, and as such I am required to eat haggis at some point. I think. And toss a caber, but that has already been accomplished in dim light and with fast internet connection.
So fly me out and back from MHT or BOS, and I'll help out best I can. With the haggis, not the caber.

Well,
The Sweetie didn't go. She got sick instead. Had been suffering w/a low grade sinus infection, and wanted to be up to snuff (heh heh!) for the trip, so her P.A. gave her an antibiotic. Well, this time, the antibiotic did the BAD antibiotic thing. Killed off all the good biotics as well as the bad. Visited the P.A.'s office, the Emergency room, Got admitted to the hospital for a few days, got out and has generally been feeling quite poorly. She's doing better now, and will re-schedule the trip soon.
I DID make the haggis, though! Without a stomach casing, I tried cheesecloth, didn't work. I tried using a steamer, didn't work. Those attempts just washed away all the spices.
Got some boiling bags, stuffed the haggis in, used a seal-a-meal thingy and boiled it for 3 or so hours. MMMMMMMM!!!!
The meat got soft, the pinhead oats swelled up, and the spices and onion permeated without being able to escape because of the airtight cooking container.
It was good. I've had haggis once at a restaurant,(from a can I think) and once out of a can.
This was a lot better!
Hope to share sometime, but it looks like Jaeger and Zim are the only brave ones!

Canned Haggis. If I ever have a band, that will be the name of it.
Personally, I think going to europe to study mosaic making is a much better idea than going to the hospital.
Tell her to try again, and get it right this time.

I've had both tinned and "fresh" -- the latter is obviously better.
I confess, I actually smuggled back two haggises (hagi?) my first time in England. I asked the butcher "how long will these keep unrefrigerated?" Answer: "Oh, a week or so."
"Oh, I suppose a 6-hour flight is no problem then, eh?"
[Laughing] "Oooh no."

Last time I had Haggis was on a little ferry to Castleby on the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides back in the 70's. I remember liking it. I also remember pretty much everyone i ever told saying i shouldn't have... <g>

I should prbably let Stiles tell his own story, but since he hasn't chimed in:
When we were in grade school, his parents decided to take a family trip to the ancestral homeland (Scotland) and visit the distant cousins. After the trip, he told me that on about the sixth day, his dad noted with surprise that Stiles seemed to have fallen in love with haggis.
"Not really," he replied to his father.
"But, you've ordered haggis at every meal for two days."
"That's just because no matter whether I order baked chicken, meatloaf, green beans or a hamburger, everything the Scots cook tastes just like haggis, so I figured I might as well order the haggis and be done with it."
His dad was less than happy.
