Weekend Report
Feb. 2nd, 2013 10:45 pmWent to a party.
The hostess said, "I understand you're good at cocktails." I wasn't sure why, until I remembered I'd made that apple pie drink for SFContario 2. We looked through the ingredients they had on hand (which were pretty interesting -- they're big on home-made brandied fruit) and I eventually tried mixing diluted elderberry cordial with brandy that had had candied seville orange peel soaking in it for months (it was noted that this basically made it triple-sec). It went over well. I call the drink "The Marmalade."
Later there was haggis. I'd only ever had vegetarian haggis before, so I was pleased to discover that real haggis is delicious. I've never had dirty rice, but I suspect it's similar, only with rice instead of oats and slightly different spices.
Verdict -- a successful evening.
Also I've begun another sweater.
