Supper with my sister

Tonight my sister made me a supper of Clonakilty Black & White Pudding and Brown Bread.

If you are interested, here are the ingredients in the pudding.

Black: Oatmeal, Onions, Irish Beef Fat, Water, Dried Blood, Spices.

The white pudding has no dried blood in it but does have salt. Of course the other ingredient in white pudding is Irish Pork.

So delish!

Posh crisps!

What's your favourite crisp flavour? 

My sister and I bought some in Marks & Spencers today - Lobster Cocktail and BBQ flavour.  Oh my! What a taste sensation.

How to change a Smart Car panel

Someone crashed in to my car so I needed to change the panels over my back wheels. Originally they were red but I was only able to source black replacements - with a Smart Car you can mix the colours up a bit. It took my husband and Dad about 45 mins to do the job.

Dropbox

Yesterday I tried to organise myself a bit.  I've been seeing that Google Reader will be going shortly so I signed up for Bloglovin' to keep track of the blogs that I follow.

The other thing that I did was sign up for Dropbox and moved all my photos from my iPhone over.  Embarrassingly, I had over 2, 500 photos on my phone!!! I now have to delete them all :-(

Dropbox is useful for both storing safely and sharing of likes, photos, videos, etc.

BTW, the daffodils are in full bloom here in Ireland!

Pancakes

I attempted to make American pancakes with buttermilk. I don't know where I went wrong. They were very edible but they were not very fat and fluffy 😡

I ate two with bacon & maple syrup and then had one the traditional Irish way with sugar and lemon juice.

Cinnamon Ranelagh

We had breakfast in Cinnamon this morning. It's a pity the food is average as it is a really nice setting. We had poached eggs, relish and toast. Cinnamon could also look at getting a new coffee supplier as their coffee is fairly poor. Probably the thing that annoys me most about Cinnamon is the way they nickel & dime their customers - can you believe they charge €1 more for scrambled eggs rather than poached eggs. Eggs are eggs as far as I am concerned, there should be no extra charges for the way they are cooked.

In better news I see that Door 51 is coming back. Yay!
That's where I will be going for breakfast in future.
Door 51 had changed into NoodleMee for a short time. Ciaran and I foresaw that this was never going to be a success as it was going up against the established Diep and Siam Thai (I love their Pad Thai!)

Good Friday in Ireland

Here in Ireland, Good Friday is a day of abstention. Is it the same in other countries?

No pubs or off licenses are allowed sell alcohol and Catholics are expected to not eat meat or drink alcohol.

I believe that the only place you will be able to buy alcohol is in airports or residents bars in hotels.
