NorCal X Marks Burns Supper: plan now!

[bunchdescendant]

The Little Celtic Dancer and I watched that episode Saturday evening. If it's going to be on again, it's worth a look.

BTW-The gentleman giving the address to the Haggis really stabs the cr@p out of that poor, defenseless haggis! :rolleyes:

According to Madalyn, she's heard from 15 people. I added ten more, between the musicians for dancing and friends from the Brewery. So we're well on our way to a full house!

Madalyn (and me, too) wouldn't mind seeing a few checks rolling in. I'm sending mine today, and way2fractious has his in. PM me for Madalyns snail-mail address.

$13 a head.

BTW, I'm bringing cock 'o leekie soup for 20 AND I will bravely consent to attempt to cook a haggis. This is on top of swearing that I'm going to have my X-Marks kilt done by the 20th. Oyyy...

Alan,

What recipe are you using? I vaguely remember Alton Brown mentioning a Haggis recipe on "Good Eats", I found it on the Food Network site

Here you go:

Also, didn't P1M post a recipe somewhere?

Cheers

I'm going to make the soup at least once beforehand for practice, only not for 20, ya know? As for the haggis, I've been snooping recipes and they're all similar enough. Maybe I'll bring haggis to the December Beer night.

Madalyn needs checks and information on what you're going to bring food-wise! PM me for Madalyns snail-mail, OR bring a check to the Kilt Night on the 15th at Devils Canyon.

Here's her information on local hotels that are close to the Hall:

**************************************

All these hotels are a 2-3 block walk away from the American Legion Hall. Or maybe someone who isn't drinking (not bloody likely) could drive them over. I checked the minimum prices for a double room without an ocean view. All these hotels are within 1/2 block of the beach and Nick's Restaurant for Sunday morning brunch (which I recommend). Check their webpages as sometimes the rates will be less, particularly within the 30 days before the 20th of January.

Pacifica Motor Inn $65-75 200 Rockaway Beach Ave (650) 359-7700 www.pacificamotorinn.com

Holiday Inn Express $117-122 519 Nick Gust Way (650) 355-3000 www.hiepacifica.com

I will bravely consent to attempt to cook a haggis...

I think you should try cooking a haggis on a sunday afternoon first. And don't forget the Single Malt
