Burns Supper

My patient family endures what many would have little patience for, my passion for Scotland and all things pertaining there to, including annual traditions, such as the celebration of Scotland's Favorite Son, Robert Burns! We celebrated a day early, as I have prior obligations this evening, but it turned out just lovely as our regular Family Night. We began with a brief history of Rabbie's work with the reading of "Bannockburn", and YES Stacey, I managed to pull off a brief number on the chanter, "Scots Wha Hae", followed by some other wee Scottish traditions, and lastly toasted the Lads and Lassies. We ate a scrummy Cock-A-Leekie Soup" and some heavenly ( I dare say! ) Meat Pies, and when we had room a bit after, a layered peach and cream dessert.
Libby didn't care for any of it, but loved the Swedish Kakor from my tin in the cupboard!

    Those meat pies look out of this world. I would love to make some for my 'Swiss German' family to remind them of their Scottish roots! Do you share the recipe? xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

    Of course my dear! It's my own actually, they are nothing fancy, they just look so lovely made in the wee pots. I'll give you a ring later tomorrow. Love you dearest.
