Foxy!
I met my sister for coffee after work tonight and then took a lovely stroll along the canal.
After that I dropped my sister to the station for her train. Amy was a little early so we sat and chatted up the road from the station. Suddenly we saw a fox run across the road and then disappear in to the bushes. A fox in Dublin City!!! Amazing! What a great sight.
Check out this crazy big spider I found in my house!

It's bright!
It is a lovely bright day in Dublin (but deceivingly cold). I snapped a pic of Christ Church as I drove to work. The sky is a gorgeous blue colour.
Belgian Truffles
Have you ever tasted authentic Belgian Truffles? We are lucky to have a Leonidas Chocolate Shop in Dublin.
My sister and I popped in for a sweet treat last week. We each had the delicious fresh cream coffee flavour "Manon"
I told my sister about my trip to Belgium about a year ago and how just about every third shop is a chocolate truffle shop!!

Word of the day: Popover
What's a "Popover"?, you might ask, if you are English or Irish.....
Last night I heard that a Popover is an American food item that is something similar to a Yorkshire Pudding and is served with roast beef. One difference I can see is that the fat from the beef is put in to the baking pan when making Yorkshire Puddings. This causes a dip to develop in the pudding - perfect for loading beef & gravy in to!
Another difference is that it seems the popover can be served alongside sweet accompaniments. The Yorkshire pudding is only ever served with savouries.
I quite like the word "Popover"........I think I will call my Yorkshire Puddings (from the freezer) popovers!
