Hey Guys, Okay some british clarification. A Fag is a cigarette and a Faggot is like a meatball.. infact they're really tasty! But here is the recipe, why not try them and see what you think?

Ingredients
25g/1oz unsalted butter
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
175g/6oz minced pigs' liver
2 lamb or pigs' heart, trimmed and cut into chunks
450g/1lb belly of pork, trimmed and rind removed
½ tsp mace
4tbsp freshly chopped chives
1 tsp freshly chopped sage
1 egg, beaten
salt and freshly ground pepper
115g/4oz fresh white bread crumbs
25g/1oz beef dripping or 3 tbsp olive oil

For the gravy
4 red onions, peeled and each onion cut into 8 wedges
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 tbsp olive oil
900ml/1½pt fresh beef stock
290ml/½ pint red wine
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the onions. Cook until soft and transparent. Cool slightly
2. Place the belly pork onto a chopping board and cut into portions.
3. Place the minced pigs' liver into a large glass bowl and place under the blade of a mincer. Using a fine blade of a mincer, mince the pork belly and lambs heart directly into the bowl with the pig s liver. If you do not have a mincer at home ask your butcher to mince all your meat for you.
4. Add the cooled chopped onions, mace, chives, sage, beaten egg and salt and pepper. Stir in the breadcrumbs.
5. Using your hands shape the mixture into 12 patties. Place on a plate and chill for about 1 hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. 7. For the gravy: place the onion wedges into a large roasting pan or ovenproof dish. Add the thyme and drizzle over the olive oil. Place in the oven and roast uncovered for 40 minutes until the onions are caramelised.
8. Meanwhile heat the dripping or olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry the faggots until golden brown on both sides.
9. Place the stock and wine in a small saucepan, bring to the boil and reduce by a third.
10. Remove the roasted onions from the oven and lay the faggots on top. Pour over the gravy liqueur. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and cook the faggots for 40 minutes.
11. Place two to three faggots onto a plate. Top with a spoonful of the onions and pour over the gravy. Serve the faggots with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.

See you tonight! I can't wait.

I wish I could be there at the Meet and Greet. Sigh.

I have to say that I was listening to the first half of todays podcast on the way to work at it actually brought me to tears. Just because I'm a kinky leatherboy does not mean that I don't need love too, and lately I've been lamenting the fact that I've never had that special someone in my life and wondering if it would ever happen. Amanda and Miss Ronnie both said things that realy made me think, and really made me feel good about myself. Thank you both so much. And Fausto and Marc, you'll be the first to know if I ever do make it to my slut phase. I'm so happy to have you guys to listen to every day. I've even been going back through the archives and catching up on all I've missed. Thank you for having this show and putting so much into it.

Sincerely,
pup don

Oh Mr. Pup, I wish we could have you there tonight as well! I'm excited...

My feeling is that in order to find love, you must be willing to love uncondintionally. Yourself first and foremost.

Look hard and deep inside yourself and be willing to embrace yourself 100%. That doesnt mean stop wanting to improve, change or grow. It just means being at peace with who you are at the moment.

It know this sounds like a lot of Dr. Phill baloney, because in the end you can't be the person you would like to be.

If you want love from another person, be willing to accept them and never get anything in return. At the same time don't be a floormat and let any loser walk all over you as well. Just be firm, clear and honest with what you want from another person.

And most of all, be happy in just being in your own solitude. Not everyone needs to be in a relationship. Love isn't a car, a home, or a diamond ring, something you can own or buy. it's a state of mind you have for yourself and the world around you.

Too many of us have painful childhood experiences, a lot of us never got the love we deserved or needed from our parents, so the very idea of affection from another person is an alien concept. The first place I would begin if this fits for you is to find a mentor, a friend, someone you look up to. Get the "mother" and/or "father" you never had. That can be a friend, neighbor, teacher, but not a lover.

I cherish my friends so much, they are my riches that are inmeasureable beyond words. Life is crap without them. But the most important person in my life is Marc.

In the meanwhile, take time to soak in that bubble bath, eat some good guacamole, stroke that rod, keep a journal, treat yourself right!

Good luck at the meat'n'greet. Wish I could be there... Have a toast to me, won't you?

has anyone else noticed that the listner survey page doesn't load?

Said by: mike hipp at February 9, 2006 03:51 PM

Mike,
I just tested it and didn't have a problem, but if others have a problem please let us know. I'm sure we'll have a good time tonight. We are going to burn some of the candles you sent us to get everyone in the mood.

Said by: Marc at February 9, 2006 05:41 PM

Fausto, thank you for the kind words. You're a living doll. I'm going to take your advice (except for the part about the guacamole, ick).

Mike and Marc, I took the survey and had no problems. If there was a glitch, I'm sure it's been taken care of. :)

Oh, and even though the first half of the show made me a little teary eyed, the second half had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears again! You guys crack me up.

Said by: pup don at February 9, 2006 06:08 PM

Oh pup Don,

Just come out and say it, "YOU NEED SEX!". Lord knows, I (and the rest of the Sandbox family & the Greater Los Angeles area) have heard it over a million times from you before!

Love you like my luggage bro!~

I also will miss you guys having fun out there in Chicago!

We'll get you boys and gals out here to S. California and go to pup Don and my favorite place, Disneyland!

Your kinky bro in Long Beach,
Buzz

Said by: Buzz at February 9, 2006 08:31 PM

Yes Buzz, you're right. I NEED SEX! And I do say it all the time. And guys, to show you what kind of friends I have, they made me a T-shirt that says "I need sex" and the fuckers took me Sea World and made me wear it. Fausto, just like you said in your post, I also have the best friends in the word and I cherish every moment with them. Even when they're bein' a bunch of motherfuckers! LOL!

Thanks so much for the mention today, boys. Not only did I nearly explode from the excitement of being mentioned, but Josh was really thrilled to hear his name mentioned too. :) Thanks to those of you who have come to visit my blog (www.squeakytoy.net) and thanks to the Feast of Fools for making every single day fabulous!!!

Said by: Steven at February 10, 2006 01:36 PM

Miss Ronnie: Tender kisses on your labia flaps, too, honey. If you ever decide to jump the fence, give me a call. ;)

I live in Hong Kong, so we get a lot of British TV here, and just the other day they did a documentary entitled “The Faggot Family.” I of course had to watch it, because how could you not with a title like that? So it was about this Mr. Brain’s Faggots and the contest that resulted in a spokesfamily to get faggots back on the table. You pretty much have the gist of the story, so I will just give you a couple of the choice lines that appeared in the documentary. First, this one guy said, “I weaned my toddler on faggots.” Another guy said he had his first faggot at 8 years old. And best of all, at a free taste test, one guy tried faggots for the first time and subsequently made a face indicating he did not care for them; the representative from the faggot family said that is normal and faggots get better each time you try them.

Hope you find these goodies as entertaining as I did. I’m really grateful to have your podcast to give me a little taste of America while I’m on the other side of the world. Promise I’ll buy a t-shirt as soon as I can afford it, as long as you will ship internationally.
