Here Comes Draco

Winter Storm Draco cometh!

This morning the most accurate model has 10 inches for Madison (which seems to be in a little non-snow hole) and 10-12 in Columbus.  But the snow will not be the real problem.  The heaviest snow will be Thursday morning but the problem will be starting noonish with 35-40mph winds creating blizzard conditions.

This will be a paralyzing winter storm 

----------------------------------------------

SO - how is the Melotte family preparing for Draco?  First thing I do tonight is run to Pic-N-Save and by ingredients for Haggis!!    What's that Christmas song? 


Here we come a-haggising
Among the sheep so green;
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen.
REFRAIN:
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your haggis too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year.


In case you are wondering Haggis is a savory pudding with a nutty flavor. Traditionally Scottish dish, considered the national dish of Scotland and is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties". Alton Brown loves Haggis and here is his ingredients. mmmmm

1 sheep stomach
1 sheep liver
1 sheep heart
1 sheep tongue
1/2 pound suet
minced 3 medium onions
minced 1/2 pound dry oats
toasted 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried ground herbs

So what is YOUR favorite haggis recipe???

MELOTTE - Looking Forward with Common Sense. 

YUP - I'm running for City Council Ward 2 (pretty much everything south of Waterloo.  It's all I'm saying at the moment.  

NO IT'S NOT!!!

Here is the deal.  My name KEPT being brought up and all these years I have been whining about how Columbus is such a great city but no one ever participates, they only complain and oddly, they always complained to me!!  Seriously, not sure why but I was always some sort of sounding board. 

WELL -maybe it's time I get off my ass and do something.

I tried Main Street Org but it was not the right fit.  I tried joining the CDC but was told the Council had to approve it (not sure that was actually true but . . . I got the message).

--------------------------------------------------

I'm in my Fantasy Super Bowl and as typical for the last 4 weeks, I'll have to pull some players out of my ass (also called the waiver wire) to win.  The team I beat WAS the best team in the league.
