guinness group photo reflection
This being my 3rd visit to Belfast (and Dublin) these aren’t exactly ‘impressions’– more like ‘highlights’ — but I thought impressions sounded better for a title…
It also may seem as though all I have done during my time in Ireland is eat and drink, which is completely untrue. While eating and drinking, I’ve enjoyed having good craic with old friends Stuart and Julianne as well as newly-in-person-but-previously-on-facebook friend Sara. See, so it’s not just eating and drinking…
- Great brunch of chorizo, spinach and red pepper at The Yard in Holywood
- Yummy recipe (cooked by Stu) from Rachel Allen, Lamb tagine with lemon and pomegranate couscous
- Great day trip to Dublin complete with
- breakfast (delicious porridge) at Avoca
- a tour of the National Gallery (featuring Fabritius’ The Goldfinch)
- a pint of Guinness
- and finishing off the day with dinner at Wagamama
- Sunday dinner at Stu’s parents…a delicious curry and lovely conversation with Derek and Lesley
Dinner with Derek and Lesley
- Perusing the latest on Stu and Julianne’s cookbook shelf: Rebar, Cook with Jamie (Oliver), Rachel’s Favourite Food for Living by Rachel Allen
- lunch at Boojum–fantastic Mexican food–up to California and Mexico standards
- good coffee at Cafe Nero and ground cafe in Waterstones bookstore
Okay, so, we did do a lot of eating and drinking, but so much fun to do so while catching up with good friends!
