If you’ve wondered why there has been such an absense of posts, well I have good reason. My husband and I were traveling Ireland last week! I tried so hard to get a post up before we left, but you know what it’s like when you are preparing for a trip. Time got away from me and I just had to wait to post until I returned. And I have returned!
This was my third trip to Ireland and my husband’s fifth and this time around we had some of the best food of any of our trips. Fresh Irish ingredients, food markets, scones, chips, seafood, chocolates, ales, stouts and whiskeys. I’ve definitely got some great material for posting. I’ll even throw in some scenery as not to overwhelm you with food. I also picked up a Rachel Allen cookbook, hot and sweet smoked Spanish paprika and plenty of Butler chocolate.
Until I have a chance to sort through all the photos, I’ll leave you with a few to suggest what is yet to come.

I can’t wait to read all about it! Judging from these teaser pics, it must’ve been a marvelous, satisfying holiday. 😎
Ireland is somewhere I need to visit one of these days – and know that I know they have some great looking food, all the more reason to go! Hope you had an excellent trip 🙂
