So how did you get on over the weekend with shopping deals? Did you get any bargains? I have to say I got a few but not loads, not as many as last year. Still I’m slowly ticking items off my Christmas list, and it feels very gratifying. The whiteboard calendar has been moved forward a few more weeks and I can now see the beginning of January.
In case you missed it, late last week I finally got my cast off. Continue reading »

Taste of the Week
Con’s Irish Cider
If you haven’t tasted real Irish cider before, you’re in for a treat. This is packed with flavour and it just waiting to get out of the bottle and impress. Your palate will initially be overwhelmed – after all, 85% (maybe more) of the content is apple. You soon get used to it and begin to enjoy the genuine taste of an Irish orchard. Continue reading »

A classic roast chicken is a firm favourite in our house but it’s nice to mix things up every now and then. This easy chicken tray-bake is simple to prepare and can be made in advance, making it perfect for entertaining. I like to serve it with roasted vegetables but a side salad or even creamy mashed potato would be a great addition. Continue reading »

Dublin’s premier destination for beer Irish beer launches™, 57 The Headline, staged special nights for two breweries on consecutive Thursdays recently. Both involved beers I’d never had before so of course I was in attendance.
The first tap takeover was by Rye River, bringing a bunch of the specials it had at the Irish Craft Beer Festival last August, plus a couple of new regulars. I’d missed the Keeping Ale at the festival and it was presented here in oak-aged form. Continue reading »

For breakfast, all the representatives had jook, a Korean dish, which was somewhat like porridge but with meat and diced turnip in the rice. The word jook, I thought, must be derived from the Chinese word zhou, which means porridge. Every one of us was served a full bowl of it, and a plate of kimchee sat in the center of each table… The Koreans couldn’t live without kimchee….. Continue reading »

My days were once consumed with emails, appointments, spreadsheets and procedures. My wardrobe was a formation of pressed suits in dark shades blending into one another, with perfectly matching heels below them in their boxes. Obsessed with having flawless and manicured nails, I’d repaint them when I detected the slightest chip. Continue reading »

I left you last time in Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels’s ticker heaven. The other beer I had there before moving on to the cask Cantillon lambic, was L’Amer des Moeders, brewed for the house by Jandrain-Jandrenouille. It’s a golden ale of an approachable 5% ABV, pale and slightly hazy with a sugary perfumed nose. This resolves on tasting into a weighty Belgian blonde with spicy jasmine up front and quite a dry finish. Continue reading » Raw Honey, Pumpkin & Sage CakeA post by imen at Farmette
On Sunday afternoon, we joined Grandad on an adventure down to the wood to check on the honeybees. We had very little honey this harvest, so he is keeping a very close eye on the little buzzers. When we arrived, I was surprised by all the holly berries already on the trees, although the last few years when I’ve gone down in December to harvest bits for our annual girly DIY foraged wreath party, the berries had all been eaten by the birds. I suppose the wood is their home after all. Continue reading » California Cheering. Star Reds: Predator and RhiannonA post by Billy Lyons at RESTAURANTS AND FOOD IN CORK
