We had a wonderful Christmas Eve yesterday. We got up early and went for a wander around the city. Ciaran had a few little items he wanted to buy. It was bitterly cold and one point there was a little flurry of snow. We went in to Massimo Dutti when it was snowing/raining and heard a little boy shout out "It's snowing.......this is the best Winter ever!" This made us smile at each other, it was very cute.
We got the Luas home and stopped off in Supervalu to buy rashers, sausages and black pudding for a "Full Irish" breakfast today. After dropping all our purchases off in the house we headed to what I think is the best restaurant in Ranelagh - Brioche.
We got a lovely friendly greeting - the manager welcomed us back! We knew we were seated at the counter near the kitchen because we had only made the booking the day before - I felt lucky to even get a reservation as the place is small and it was packed!!
Here are the pics of all our food (from a set Christmas Lunch).
Parsnip Veloute - they serve it by pouring it from a jug right in front of you at the table!
Seared Foie Gras (Candied Nuts were served on the side due to my Walnut Allergy)
Chocolate Ganache with orange sauce (minus nuts)
After lunch we met friends for a few drinks and then walked home and watched another Christmas Movie. This one was "Christmas with the Kranks" with Jamie Lee Curtis. Really enjoyable and certainly made it feel like Christmas Eve!
Once again, Happy Christmas Day to you - do enjoy your day!
