What is Haggis, you ask?

Apparently there has been some confusion about haggis, which I wrote about earlier. Well, haggis is a delightful bit of Scottish cuisine that consists of oats, herbs, and all the left over parts of meat from the butcher's shop. It's all packed into a sausage casing and steamed. It sounds nasty, I know. Trying it was pretty scary, but I believe you can't really say you don't like something if you've never tried it.

Nothing new here, really. Martin and I are enjoying a quiet night in, watching Star Trek, Nemesis. We are so boring! He has to work tomorrow, so we are not going out partying this weekend. Tomorrow is going to be spent in more house hunting and a little bit of Christmas shopping. We have to send our American Christmas gifts by the end of the month if we want a guarantee that they'll be there in time.

Our weekend after this one is already planned--we're going to Mablethorpe to visit Martin's grandparents. Both sets live there, which makes a visit very efficient. I'll make sure to bring the camera so we can get some pictures of the North Sea on the blog. Mablethorpe is right on the coast. I'm looking forward to next month. Martin is going to take me to Donner Nook, which is just north of Mablethorpe. Apparently the seals have their pups there, and you can walk right up to them. That'll be a picture-worthy trip!

We'll keep you all posted on any new stuff--if there is any! Bye for now!
