best Burn Night



January 25th is the beloved Scottish poet Robert Burns' birthday, and the evening is traditionally celebrated with 'Burns Night' gatherings.  My friends held a wonderful evening at the town hall in Lake Ann, Michigan.  Here are the vegetarian scotch eggs I made for the party - that's mustard dipping sauce in the middle


They boiled a real haggis - no thank you!

I brought my Mom as my date - she made delicious oat cakes


they played a great collection of vinyl records specially selected for the evening

the spread of food was truly magnificent - there's Mom checking it out
