Bagpipes for Robby Burns Day!

[phesina]

It'll be coming up soon.. I had to go out and buy a case of Fancy Feast, plus a couple of dowels for Sparkler to use as cabers in her Caber Dance.

The sheep's stomach had been soaking all night in cold salted water in the bathtub. Fortunately, since Ann Arbor is the home of a university with students from all around the world, it was not hard to find the authentic fixin's I needed.. Haggis Helper from the Haggis in a Hurry shop..

This afternoon I scooped the Fancy Feast out of the cans and into the sheep's stomach. Then, I sewed the stomach up (pricking a couple of holes in it so it doesn't explode ). Now it's in a potful of boiling water, cooking for three hours.. so it should be ready around 6pm (EST).

Come one, come all!

And oh yes, of COURSE Sparkler will be joining the Bagpipe Quartet in their performance at the Royal Wedding!

Wow, you are one busy Meowmie today! There's no doubt that your haggis will be superb. By the way, Groucho saw this and added haggis helper to my food shopping list.

Thanks, now Ming wants haggis.

[Pinot's Mom]

Pinot does NOT want Haggis. She has her standards.

Cassie would like some 'nip in celebration! I would too... could I have a shot of whiskey in my tea tonight, please? It's cold outside!

[phesina]

Don't worry, there is plenty of Scotch Nipsky on hand for the festivities!

It's cold here, too!

Ahhh...bagpipes, haggis, meowmie nip (whiskey) and kitty nip. Sounds just about perfect. Calvin would like to know if the kitties go "commando" under their kilts? It's a little cold in most of the country but sunny and warm here in Cali.
