Back to Irish Aires Table of Contents
ANNOUNCEMENT:
This week's Austin Celtic Association membership meeting topic will be
Haggis 101 & optional Lab (i.e., tasting)
Everything and a lot more that you’ve ever wanted to know about Scotland’s
National Dish –
* Its origins – (from the French 'hache' or ...?)
* Its manufacture – (fit the bow with suitable silver-tipped arrow..., or?)
* How to cook it – (first, take your average sheep stomach... or?)
* What’s in it – (is it truly offal, or have we promulgated a myth?)
* How to eat it - (just an excuse for several strong whiskys..., or?)
* Why have it at all? – (Quick tribute to the Bard)
Bring your own anesthetic.
TEXAS BANDS ON THE ROAD:
Gilmer & Moore in Bryan Feb. 8 & Houston Feb. 12
Tea Merchants in Killeen Feb. 11
Ed Miller in Houston Feb. 12
