Fillet steak, fried onions, wedges & garlic bread for dinner tonight.
This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

Homemade peanut butter sweets
I made these delicious sweets today. So easy, just 4 ingredients. Peanut butter, icing sugar (powdered sugar), butter and then melted chocolate to cover the sweets.
All you have to do is mix the peanut butter with the icing sugar and then add melted butter. Roll the mix in to balls and then cover in chocolate.
Voila - little bites of heaven!
I should add that peanut butter and chocolate is not a common flavour combination here in Ireland. I have to travel to USA to get my fix!!!

End of a long week
After a hard weeks work we have a tired dog on our hands!
Check out Le Pichet, Ciaran went for lunch here today with the lads from his office. He taunted me by sending photos of scallops and steak to me while I was in work.

Merlot & me
Watched a crazy programme the other night. Called 'Merlot & me' it was all about Irish housewives and their drinking habits. Presented by Maia Dunphy, it was quite an eye opening watch.
A few of the ladies interviewed on the show revealed that they don't eat all day so as to save their calories for wine in the evening time. OMG, what the heck!! What is this?! Alcorexia??!!
Another few ladies talked about going off to the bathroom to have a "vom" to empty their stomach so they could drink some more. Mad! Booze-elimia!
I think some of these ladies need to take a serious look at their drinking habits!

Dollar dog
Dollar dog......or should I say Euro dog.
For some reason Bones loves money! Maybe it's the smell but if you leave any notes near where he can get them he will take them and very kindly shred them in to little pieces! I was able to snatch this note back before he ripped it.

Snow!
It snowed a little bit in Dublin last night. It's all melting away now........that will hopefully be the extent of the snow for our Winter.
