December Bay Area Kilt Night

[McMurdo]

Great photos thanks for sharing them with us, it looks like you all had a wonderful evening. How was the haggis?

I really like the idea of bringing an insta-kilt for those who are curious about wearing one.

Ah, wow! Looks like everyone had a blast! Bummer, I wish I'd been there!

I can happily report that ALL the haggis...all four pounds of it, got eaten! *grin*

AWWWWWW, Where's the pic of the blonde kilt-checking Walkerk?

Over on the Devil's Canyon web site.

We all had a great time with good friends and some very lovely beer (The Rye, the Stout, and the ever wonderful Full Boar Scotch Ale!)

Always a pleasure to gather together in Good Cheer.

We missed Michael, Ray, Tim, and the lovely Damaris. B ut look forward to seeing you all in the New Year (hopefully at Burns Night!)

Cheers

Our enthusiastic haggis maker was practicing for our Burns Supper in a few weeks. The sausages weren't quite the size of a sheep's stomach...


More practice... however, the traditional way to approach the haggis is by reciting "To A Haggis" by Robbie Burns, then delivering the ceremonial first cut with a dagger. Of course, it's not Burns' Night yet.


Even the F-H.C.A.G. (a veterinarian who understands the innards of animals better then the rest) ate some and seemingly enjoyed it.


Alan doesn't take "no" for an answer. Everyone even remotely connected to the XMarks group - as well as a few not-so-innocent bystanders - sampled the cuisine.

O.K.... O.K.... The (mostly) natural ingredients combined under the hand of our esteemed and accomplished chef produced a most pleasing dish; the seasonings were perfect - definite but not overpowering; the proportions of liver versus oatmeal were being second-guessed by the chef, but by no one else; the aftertaste was only in the mouth where it could be quenched by a beverage of choice, not in the human stomach to come back and haunt one later in the evening. It was agreed by all (group-think?) that Alan's X-Haggis should/will grace the table at the Burns Supper.

Now you just have to put a brogue in it, and it's perfect!
