    Hi to all of you USA girls,

    Hope everybody is having a wonderful Labor Day. We are grilling rib-eye steaks with mushrooms, steak fries and garlic toast here at the Anders homestead. (And grilled chicken breasts for the dogs.)

    And to our Canadian neighbors, happy Labour Day!

    Best,

    Hi Janis,

    You are most welcome to celebrate our Labor/Labour Day if you don't mind we North Americans having a wee sip of single malt to celebrate St. Andrews Day in November.

    Hi Anna-Marie,

    We do venerate the great poet, Robden of Solway Firth (or Bobbie Burns as my Irish teacher used to call him) especially "Auld Lang Syne" a serious New Year's Day tradition on this side of the pond.

    But St. Andrew's Day is two months sooner for the wee sip. I'll gladly celebrate both...

    Best,
    Melody

    I don't really need the excuse of a holiday to enjoy single malt.
    Although I did know a guy from Glasgow who used to carry a small diary that listed an excuse for celebration for every day of the year.
    I remember sitting in the pub and shouting over to him, "What are we celebrating today Wullie?"
    He whipped out his little book, fingered through it, raised his glass and shouted, "The Battle of Little Bighorn!"
