I hope you all have a good day.
Never had it. And doesn't appeal to me. Have you ever had tripe? Not sure if they only make it in SA or if you get it overseas, but not a dish that appeals to me either. Tasted it once and was out off for life. [emoji37]
tripe
trʌɪp/
noun
1.
the first or second stomach of a cow or other ruminant used as food.
That is so cool. I wouldn't mind living in one of those although come winter it must have been cold especially if wood was scarce.
Sadly I have a funeral tomorrow afternoon so not the best of days.
My sins were fun.
Thanks everyone. I would have liked your all's post but for some reason it won't let me
Anyway. We are on our way back. About 4 hours away from home. The procedures went well. They found inflammation all through my system and ulcerations all the way through. They are starting me on two autoimmune drugs. But one has to be pre-approved by insurance so that one has to wait on them. It's $26,000 a vile! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji43] Luckily I don't have to pay that. insurance will and what they don't get I have another medical card to help with.
The other drug has to be monitored close are requires blood work to be done between doses so I will have to put it off until my vacation is about over to start. Unfortunately that means my legs and stuff will continue getting worse until then.
Love how everything around is so green!Some photos for you
First for @moozillion’s bucket list is Skara Brae
This is a 5000 year old neothlithic settlement. The stone houses were sunk into the ground and had covered passageways between them. All the furniture (dresser, beds, tank for storing fish) was made of stone where we would use wood. Trees are few and far between on Orkney so stone had to take the place of wood)
I remember going here on my school trip in 1980. Back then we could walk in the houses and through the passages. Now you have to view from above, but it’s still amazing

SNAP'ish!Didn't they offer to call around and find it for you?
My kind of a meal! I'd skip the beans, but everything else is most natural!I had a nice steak (fried in GREASE!!!), a helping of green beans smothered in real butter and a nice baked potato (baked in olive oil). If that doesn't harden my arteries, I don't know what will. But, M-m-m-m-m it was good!!
I know... I got yelled at by the jellyfishYipes! Be careful of hurling. If you hit one of those angry things that live in here, it could mean trouble for you.
If I hadn't read the explanation, I'd have said the second picture is very much like what you'd see in the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde and the National Museum in CopenhagenAnd then we went to the Brough of Birsay. The island has a Viking village inhabited from c 600AD - 1100AD ... so only 1000 years old.
It is remarkably similar to its much older neighbour at Skara Brae, but they did have a drainage system so plumbing was a benefit!
We saw a puffin on the cliffs ...but the weather closed in and we escaped just before the rain got too bad

I wanted to hear the pronunciation of this, but Google Translate doesn't do itWe are worn out. So it’s bedtime now!
Nos da everyone ... or “Oidhche mhath” in Scottish Gaelic
Thank you, my friend!Lets help. View attachment 238657
SNAP! LOLSounds like my kinda meal
Of course! Mark should be in there too! @Maro2BearProbably[emoji57]
Is 'boerewors' like Bratwurst? (I googled it, of course.) So do you use braai as a verb too? Nice!I'll braai lamb chops and boerewors especially for you.[emoji6]

While in Turkey, husband and I specifically went out to have some kelle söğüş -- a cold dish made of meats from a lamb's head -- with extra brain. Yum.Whahaha. Nope if I am going to eat parts of an animal i only want the meat. I might eat the liver and kidneys but none of the other stuff thank you.
I like that!Same. I worked for a chef once and he always said that steak is like coffee ... if you are not going to eat it rare or drink it strong then don't bother.
