Burns Supper last night

[room2ndfloor]

We, too, attended a very nice Burns Supper in Fife, Washington. (Apt town for it, don't you think?) Hosts were the Tacoma Scots Pipe Band, which is the band for the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
It was the first we had tried haggis. I don't think it was the strictly traditional kind. It was quite tasty and a bit chewy with the oats in it. It reminded me of the Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple and southern-US boudin noir (black pudding). My grandparents made different kinds of sausages, so I'm not squeamish about the ingredients.
I won two door prizes: a nice Dewar's shot glass and a Dewar's key chain.

Sounds like fun! I spent two years in Pullman, and we've been over that way, it's just been a long time, 1979, maybe 1980. We were living there when Mt. St. Helens blew.

We didn't have door prizes, but the Society had a silent auction that raised a bit of money for the organization.

Cheers!
