when I tell you I had to do a double take because I thought these were 2 parts of the same whole joke
I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.

January 23rd is National Pie day, what’s your favourite pie?
Is it the traditional New Years day fare, of a muckle steak pie, or the humble Scotch Pie filled with mutton? It could also be a macaroni pie, possibly a favourite with the vegetarians Scots out there. Or maybe you have sought out the Breakfast pie that I posted about previously is made by Table 13 Express takeaway deli in Kirkintilloch. The Haggis and Steak Pie by Bells is also up there, although I preferred the haggis mash and beans pies we used to get from our local bakers growing up in my hometown of Loanhead.
Perhaps the most famous of our pies here in Scotland is the award winning Killie Pie made by Brownings Bakery in the town since 1945.
Last year Scotland's best pie was dominated by James Pirie & Son (Wemyss Bay), named World Scotch Pie Champion for a record-breaking 6th time, and S. Cronnie Family Butchers (Newton Stewart), which won the 2025 Scottish Traditional Steak Pie Championship. Other top winners include the Kilmarnock Pie (of course)(Brownings the Bakers) and a popular doner kebab pie from Boghall Butchers.This acclaimed, £4.50 pie features a filling of chicken, beef, chilli marinade, and sweet chilli sauce, encased in shortcrust pastry with a puff pastry lid. Their pie also won the British Pie of the year top prize!
