Burns supper
01/29/10 22:32
Tonight was the Burns
supper at Mary, Blair and Tom's. Plenty of
laughs and good food and drink. The bagpipe music
was Skyped in live from Claire's uncle in
Pittsburgh for the Entrance of the Haggis.
Francesco's Toast to the Lassies was hilarious,
and Tom's Address to the Haggis was suitably
passionate. The haggis
itself was delicious; I was not sure what to
expect and was pleasantly surprised that I liked
it enough to eat a couple of helpings. After the
meal, we played a drinking game to the Burns poem
Tam o' Shanter. Overall, an excellent
experience!
