Today is Robert Burn's birthday. I have a happy hour with colleagues this afternoon. I really do not like happy hours - never have - but I am on the executive committee for this organization and we have to take turns hosting them. I chose this one so I can actually celebrate Rabbie's birthday on the day. We had a mini-Burn's supper last Friday. It was really a get together with people who went to Scotland last June and we turned it into a sort of Burns Supper since I was bring haggis and Neeps & Tatties. We had fun, but not enough singing for my taste.
I am going to a more formal Burn's supper on Feb. 4 in Austin. It will be different going to one that I am not actually organizing and cooking for.
Feb. 3 we will go to see They Might Be Giants with Trevor and Tina. It is Tina's birthday. We have seen They Might Be Giants almost every time they are in Austin. They continue to be my favorite band.
That's about it for now.

I know about haggis but have not been able to stomach it but what is Neeps and Tatties? By the way, "burns dinner" I have been known to burns both supper and dinner.
ReplyDelete:-). Neeps are turnips and tatties are tators - cooked and mixed together with herbs and such. Could stomach the haggis - ho ho!
