Yes, yes I’m banging on about Kildare stuff again, but hey, it’s my home for a couple of days a week, so I have to get my foodie fixes somewhere!
This particular foodie event caught my eye the other

I don't normally blog about my private life, as to be frank, it's not nearly as interesting as the food I eat.
However, just this once I thought I'd make an exception.
I’ve been a little quiet of late. So? I hear you say. Aren’t you always? Well yes,...

Here's a blast from last year's past - my Shrove Tuesday posts. Who'd have thunk I've passed a year blogging already?!! Time flies when you're having fun :)

The time has come. It’s time to wake up and smell the wings, wine and wagon-wheels that I’ve been gorging on for the last year.
Yes, I know the only true way to lose weight is as @gastromama did it, through healthy eating and exercise. But I also know that...

Gastrogirl and I have just returned from Carcassonne. The food, food, food. First night we were so starving, I ordered what I presumed would be the quickest to the table, the house Cassoulet. It was duck leg, pork, I think chicken, sausage and beans. Basically, any...

Now call me a philistine (you’d be quite right), but ever since I first tasted Malbec in Chicago and was given a very knowledgeable run-through of its background, I presumed it was Argentinean.
