Sarah Sanders to leave White House

Source: The Hill

Sarah Huckabee Sanders will leave her post as White House press secretary at the end of the month, President Trump announced on Thursday.

Sanders’s departure caps off a tumultuous, two-year run as Trump’s top spokeswoman, marked by tensions with the White House press corps and the disappearance of the daily briefing. During that time, however, Sanders became one of Trump’s closest aides.

After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2019

....She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2019

Well-placed and usually reliable sources (therefor obviously persons not on the White House staff) revealed Thursday that Ms. Sanders decided to quit her job as a result of having read the Holy Bible for herself for the first time, rather than relying on the summary by Attorney General William Barr.
The Barr summary, sources said, redacts the Ninth Commandment.

92. Ahhhh Haggis - the National dish of Scotland.
Thu Jun 13, 2019, 10:34 PM
Jun 2019

Do I "actually" (I love how you wrote that !) eat Haggis ? Aye. I grew up eating Haggis as my Mum is a Scot. Personally, I love it and eat it all the time. We have ours with tatties (mashed potatoes) and neeps (turnips). On special occasions, we add just a wee dollop of whisky (that would be Scotch to you).

First of all, you MUST like the flavor of liver, otherwise you will hate Haggis. I'll give you my (Highlander) Gran's recipe:

one sheep's paunch (stomach)
heart, liver and lights (lungs) of sheep
salt
white and cayenne pepper
nutmeg
2 onions, chopped finely
6 oz toasted oatmeal
1 lb beef suet
3/4 pint stock

Wash the paunch thoroughly. Turn inside out and repeat. Boil the heart, liver and lights until tender. Hang the windpipe over the edge of the pan, so that it drains into a bowl.

Chop the meat very finely and grate the liver.

Spread this over (a large butcher block) and add salt, pepper, nutmeg, onions, suet and oatmeal.

Mix this well with the stock and fill into the paunch. Leave room for the oatmeal to swell in cooking.

Sew up (yes, needle and thread), prick all over with a needle and put into boiling water for three hours.

Got all that ??


Now, in the US, you can no longer follow the original recipe as it became illegal for butchers to sell sheep "lights." And unless you've got a good butcher in town, you may have a hard time finding the paunch.

I haven't made Haggis myself in decades as it's a LOT of work, plus it scares the grandkids. So, now I buy mine from a company back east, Scottish Gourmet USA (They are online and have a wide range of Scottish goodies.). They overnight it to you packed in bags of chemical ice - it's a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Hope that answers your questions.

Oh, and in British vernacular, Haggis is not a sausage, but a "pudding."
