The last time I checked, I'm still in Galicia and not Scotland, but surely the Galicians are down with the Scots because they share a Celtic heritage. My roommate is a wee Scottish lass, thus last Saturday we celebrated Robert Burns Day. It's a patriotic day for the Scots, in honor of their most famous poet. So here in "Little Scotland" Stacey & Lauren prepared some traditional dishes for our friends to try. Meeps and tatties (carrots and mashed potatoes) with canned haggis sent direct from Scotland, all covered in a delectable mustard sauce. For dessert was homemade shortbread in a fruity, homemade whipped cream. And because it's Scottish, just about everything was "flavored" with whiskey. I admit I had my doubts about the tastiness of haggis, having sort of an idea of what it actually contains. Au contraire, everything was delicious! |

To finish off a Scottish weekend, Lauren, Stacey, and I watched Braveheart. Freedoooooom!!
