Burns Night Supper

 January 25th is the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns and it is celebrated by literary societies throughout the world with a Burns Night Supper. This always seemed like a fun tradition and this was definitely the year when we had time to try it. I printed out the Selkirk Grace and Ode to a Haggis, which are apparently required to be read at any Burns Night and Kevin and I tried our hands at Scottish food, which all came out well.  We both really liked the soup, the kids were lukewarm, but liked the bread and potatoes. The dessert was, in British style, much less sweet than we are used to, but it was still tasty. We all recited at least one Burns poem and then listened to some bagpipe music on the Echo.
