French in Ann Arbor. Classes in language, literature, cuisine and more. Please first sign up or log in to leave a comment. I am interested in finding out more about this group and if it will have any events. I was a student with Marcel Muller in 1969 studying in Aix en Provence. I am interested in recovering some of the language skills that have lain dormant for the past 40 years. It looks like the group has not had any activity for the past several months? About 1 year ago. Over 1 year ago. But I'm than...

The Newfangled Gramma by Margie Reins Smith. Previous blogs (in decending order). Still more blogs (in descending order). Oh, Those Men in Kilts. A recent vacation in Scotland and northern England has sifted through the minute openings of my short term memory into the cavernous storage bin of my long term memory. I’ve got to write about it now, before it gets mixed up with all that other stuff. On Wednesday, June 11, ten of us, including Suzan and her husband, Mike, flew from Detroit to Edinburgh. We wer...

The Newfangled Gramma by Margie Reins Smith. Previous blogs (in decending order). Still more blogs (in descending order). Necessity is the Mother. She and my dad married in 1938. She was 30 and was considered teetering on the edge of old maidhood. I was born. They bought a house. I rode a bus to and from school. When I was in second grade, I wanted to be a Brownie, which meant I had to stay after school for an hour or two. The bus was long gone. I needed a ride home. Ever the pragmatist, my mother solved...

The Newfangled Gramma by Margie Reins Smith. Previous blogs (in decending order). Still more blogs (in descending order). A short stop in Pitlochry, a charming little town in the Central Highlands, included a visit to Blair Athol distillery. It has been making Scotch for 216 years. Pitlochry, which is almost exactly in the center of Scotland, earned its favor because Queen Victoria visited in 1842 and proclaimed it one of the finest resorts in Europe. Ldquo;Smell it first,” said our guide. The castle and...

Haggis, Nessie and Skye, Oh My - The Newfangled Gramma by Margie Reins Smith
http://margiereinssmith.weebly.com/most-recent-blogs/haggis-nessie-and-skye-oh-my
The Newfangled Gramma by Margie Reins Smith. Previous blogs (in decending order). Still more blogs (in descending order). Haggis, Nessie and Skye, Oh My. Haggis and blood pudding are Scottish delicacies. I’ve heard rumors about what’s in haggis. The rumors are true. But I didn’t realize haggis is a breakfast dish until I visited Scotland. I tried it. Tastier than I thought it would be. Blood pudding was surprisingly good and apparently is also breakfast fare. The main ingredient is pig’s blood,...I saw s...
