Since it's almost 2007--my God, I don't remember getting this old?--I thought I'd put out a little update.

I need to know if shepherd's pie will work for everyone who is totally opposed to haggis. (Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they eat!)

After tonight, I'll be spending some quality time with Holly trying out a haggis recipe or two (I ordered some sheep's stomachs), and finishing off our plans for the supper. I know one person is vegetarian--right?--so perhaps we'll do a vegetarian haggis as well. (That doesn't sound very haggissy, but we'll see.)

Please respond, my friends, with your advice adn consent. We'll do what we can, and it's only three weeks awa.
