I thought that was a UNIX bug.

I want to avoid going on the spike as long as possible. I may never

I zinged him last night for being a lurker and invited the others in
the Down Under wonders crew to join in also. Just learned that Glen 
Jamieson is in hospital. Kevin thinks the reason is connected with food
that he fed Glen.

      Title: Txuri-Ta-Beltza
 Categories: Lamb/mutton, Offal, Pork, Vegetables
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
           Lamb intestines; large and
           - small
           Garlic
           Onion
           Parsley
           Blood from the lamb
      5 lg Eggs; well beaten
           Oil
           Streaky bacon
           Tomato and onion sauce
           Tonato *
 
  * A creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce that has been flavored
  with tuna.
  
  Another interesting old delicacy is Txuri-Ta-Beltza which
  is Basque for black and white. Again it comes from the
  days when nothing could be allowed to go to waste, but, if
  made properly, it can be quite delicious and it can still
  be found on restaurant menus in the valley.
  
  Txuri-Ta-Beltza is nmade from the large and small
  intestines of a lamb. Clean the small intestine, boil it
  and chop finely. Mix with garlic, an onion and a little
  parsley, all raw and finely chopped. This forcemeat is
  bound with 5 well beaten eggs. Then prepare the large
  intestine, clean it and turn it inside out like a glove.
  Fill with the stuffing, tie well and boil in water until
  it looks like a sausage and is thoroughly cooked.
  
  The second part of the recipe involves boiling the animals
  blood. Once this is cooked put it in a casserole with a
  little oil, garlic and a small piece of fatty bacon. Saut‚
  well and add a little tomato and onion sauce, prepared
  beforehand.
  
  Allow the sausage to cool and then cut into thin slices
  and serve with the blood cooked with tomato."
