Gung Haggis Fat Choy!

Some of our Whitehorse friends who moved from Vancouver told us about the celebration of Gung Haggis Fat Choy (GHFC) -- a way to combine Robbie Burns Day and Chinese New Year. Snowy Owl rented the Brownie Cabin (think Girl Guides) for said weekend, where we were going to ski a loppet (10 or 20 km fun race), then celebrate GHFC. It got this cold...

Actually, it got to -45, but I don't have a picture. Skiing was cancelled. We still went to the cabin. Good thing we had the wood burning stove and space boots.



Evan made a great Chinese meal. Bernice supplied the haggis. Matt supplied the Scotch. Evan stabbed the haggis and sprayed haggis juice all over Bernice. Matt drank the Scotch.



Then we acted like it was warm out and had some Cuban cigars.


Snowy Owl says, "They're only little cigars!"


Nice one, Jenny!


And that was how we celebrated GHFC in the dead of a Yukon winter in a cabin in the woods. The End.

Thanks for taking Gung Haggis Fat Choy to the YUKON...

I hope to visit there some time...
It is amazing how far and wide Gung Haggis Fat Choy renown travels. We have read Robert Service Poetry at the official Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner in Vancouver.
