Wrap some dough in a cloth and plop it into boiling water...?

Wht is it about Scottish cooking technologies and practices that suggests wrapping what sounds to me like sort of nondescript batter--except for the spices--in cloth and boiling the package for a couple hours will produce dessert??? Inquiring minds want to know even more after watching the video

Clootie Dumpling is a TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH dessert


5:26 hours of sleep.

I got my morning stretches done.

I chatted with my sister.


I GOT A NEW PHONE

and I washed my sheets.

Lots of strech spells through the day seem to be keeping let pain and cramps at bay somewhat.

Adventures with CPAP The Queen of Spades and behavior issues. What ti...
