Today, I was supposed to board a plane to Scotland. It was a return trip my family had been dreaming about for years and planning for nearly as long. A few days in Edinburgh, another few around Stirling then Balmoral Castle, more near Fort William and Achnacarry for our beloved Clan Cameron gathering, then some time in Glasgow before returning to Edinburgh for a flight back to the States.
It would have been so grand…
Yet, the world and the coronavirus had other plans. I’m disappointed, sure, but it’s not the end of the world, and I’m choosing to focus on the positive. We’re safe, we’re healthy, and most of the time, we’re even in good spirits.
Also, because we’re lucky enough to live near British imports grocer, I’m going to spend the day eating like I’m in Scotland, even if I won’t be leaving my house.
Here’s the menu (with pictures added throughout the day as the meals are made):
Breakfast
Taylor’s Scottish Breakfast Tea
Bob’s Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal
Lunch
Irn-Bru
Cameron’s Meat Pies with HP Sauce
Dinner
Mushy peas
Steak Balmoral and Whisky Sauce
Dessert
Homemade lemon curd
Homemade shortbread
(and there may be a wee bit of whisky.*)
Update: There *was* a wee bit of whisky
