Dublin weather

It's 9am and nice and bright. It's still quite cool though but expected to get a little warmer.

A bank holiday weekend is coming up here in Ireland. I finish up work on Friday and am not back in until Tuesday. Bliss!!

Now I need to make plans of what to get up to over the weekend!

Chilli chilli!

I made a big pot of chilli for the first time ever.

As a base I used tomato sauce (made from tinned tomatoes and tomato puree) with puréed vegetables in it. I browned mince and onions and then added the chilli mix. Finally 2 cans of kidney beans went into the pot.

I will be bringing chilli in to work with me for a tasty lunch!

Dublin City this evening

Yes, this a horse in Dublin City!! This was what was in front of me as I drove home.

This is not quite an uncommon sight in Dublin!!!

Coffee time

I got a smiley face on my coffee today! It put a smile on my face!

Zero Noodles

I saw these Zero Noodles in the health store the other day. It seems that they are made from a plant and are practically calorie free. For more info look at www.zeronoodles.com

Nuts for coconuts

I like to drink Coconut Water to hydrate.

But look what's on the shelf next to it - Aloe Vera water.

Ever have it? What are the benefits of drinking it?

Dublin Bikes

Dublin Bikes - not the subscription city bikes but these great painted ones I found on Montague Street.

My sister and I also went and tried on Vintage clothing. I tried on a horrible green dress - too revolting to even put up here. Amy tried on this groovy mini dress! Fun!
