[Alan H]

The important thing as I see it is the time spent together - not who wore what. Let's have a great time....

There ya go! Amen!

[Alan H]

We have a menu, C/O the amazing Madalyn

Entrees

Prime Rib Roast (provided in ticket price)
baked or fried fish
dinner rolls and butter
*chappit taties, *bashed neeps, *clapshot

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

If you are willing to sign up for one of the above dishes, cooked/brought in quantities suitable for 10-30, then please e-mail Madalyn at:burns_supper@crocuta.com

Please don't sign up to bring crackers for four people! We need to keep this a reasonable task for Madalyn, and the "bookkeeping" for who's bringing what needs to be manageable. When you e-mail her tell her:

A.) what you will bring, and
B.) how many it will serve

I'm volunteering to bring cock 'o leekie soup for 20, for example. If we can't cover an entire dinner from our own potluck then we have to order stuff and that costs money and we have to raise the price! So be thee not shy, and sign up for whateer you can.

Alan,

Thanks for posting the menu and please thank Madalyn for creating it. Now that we know where we're going, I will share this with the S.O. and see what our clan can bring to the table.

Madalyn wanted me to make note that items on that menu that have a star (*) next to them, you can contact her for recipes.

If you plan to come, the sooner you let Madalyn know, the better. SO....

e-mail the amazing Madalyn at:burns_supper@crocuta.com

The schedule for Bay Area television station KCSM lists Tartan TV's "Burns Night Special" being shown next Saturday November 11th at 6:30 p.m. Have a look!

[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:

Cheers
