curiouswombatLast night was our rather belated Burns' Night Supper. It doesn't seem as if it is a year since I wrote about last year's - but it is!
Anyone who is unfamiliar with the traditions of a Burns' night Supper, and is interested,
Click here to read my description from last year
S2C was at work, and so couldn't come, but Daughter-dear decided that she would like to come and see what it was all about, which was lovely. My sister was doing one of the speeches, and under the cut are pics of me with D-d, and me with sister - all in our posh togs!
My daughter really does have such pale translucent skin - it goes with her eye and hair colour - and I am not wearing dark make-up - I have got much more of an olive complexion than her - but somehow the lighting accentuates the differences here - not to mention the chins! On the other hand it is the first picture on which she has smiled for 18 months, whilst she had her braces on, so a noteworthy picture!
The menu for this year was
Cullen Skink - a creamy soup with potato and smoked haddock.
Haggis on tatties and neeps.
Steak on a potato cake with roast root vegetables and a whisky gravy.
Chocolate and Drambuie Cream Basket - a dark chocolate case half-filled with blackcurrants and raspberries, then topped up and off with whipped cream laced with drambuie.
Coffee with chocolate dipped petticoat shortbread.
The calorie count was probably into 6 figures!!
This picture shows me with my baby sister -
I love that dress of mine - the roses are velvet, whilst the rest of the dress is a very heavy voile, and so the roses show differently depending on how the light catches them. I went through three or four alternative outfits, but went back to it, it is so comfortable.
Also - I've been busy these last few days - what with going out last night, and doing a lot of housework today - and so although I have been through my FL, I haven't left as many comments as usual!
