I'm Back!


These past few weeks have been a whirlwind! With a break-in to my apartment, a trip to Ireland, a short stint in the hospital, and the madness known as granting wishes during the holidays, I haven’t been able to see straight lately! And with my computer being stolen, I have seriously neglected this blog! But I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm hoping to get my posts updated more frequently!
T and I had a blast in Ireland. It is such a gorgeous country and the people are beyond lovely. If you haven’t had a chance to get there, you have to go! Here are some culinary delights from our trip! More Chicago food posts to follow!
Veggie Soup & brown bread at the Guinness Storehouse

T ready to dig in to fish & chips (with peas of course) at The Brazenhead, the oldest pub in Ireland

Mussels!

My new favorite cider

Fig salad with rocket (otherwise known as Arugula to us Americans)

Seafood Chowder

Best ham and cheese I have ever eaten

Irish cheeses, brown bread and a dessert spread

Thanksgiving Dinner at the Cliff House hotel
Halibut laced with Irish pork fat (oh yes!) and black ink sauce

Beef tea (really) to accompany T's Black Angus

Apple Medley dessert

Souffle with Guinness and caramel sauce. Truly sinful!


Bloody Mary Oyster shooters at Temple Bar


We literally ate our way through Ireland. I can’t wait to do it again!
