I'm sure you've all been worrying that we aren't nourishing ourselves properly. Well...true, perhaps we have skimped here and there to save money, but mostly we've been thoroughly enjoying our cuisine, be it authentic Irish, or just plain old fast food. But since pictures of subway sandwiches aren't that exciting, I provide for you our smorgasbord of interesting Irish...stuff. In the middle are some rhubarb tarts and tea for two at a quaint bakery around the Ring of Kerry. Yes, dearest family, we did want to rub it in that though you got tarts at the Shakespeare Festival without us, we got tarts in a small Irish town. Beat that. ;-)= The meal at the top was Gallagher's Boxty House in the Temple Bar area. They have a traditional Irish meal called boxty where they cook your choice of filling in a kind of a potato/crepe thing. Our filling was corned beef and cabbage...of course. This meal was completed with some seafood soup and our fabulous Irish coffees. For the last food entry, we have our lovely Elizabeth showing off our fresh fish and chips. And shockingly enough, I ate some ketchup...and kind of enjoyed it. Weird day.
And now, here we have two very special pictures. First, on the right, is me matching a door. And no, the door and I did not coordinate it. It just sort of happened. What can I say? Me and the door, we just gotta a good thing goin' on. My grammar, on the other hand, cannot handle any more egregiousness. Therefore, to translate for the grammar snobs, the door and I just happened to match, so we snapped a picture. The picture on the left, I would like to dedicate to Sara. This be the remaining tower of the Red Abbey in Cork Ireland, which I'm sure they really intended to call the Redwall Abbey. And since my dear Sara got me hooked on the Redwall books and then promptly deserted me...wait, why am I dedicating this picture to her again?
Okay, well, these pictures put up quite a fuss about being arranged properly, so in the end I just let them fall where they wished and typed around them. I know indulgence is not the best way to raise and nourish little pictures, but alls y'alls have been clamoring for pictures...what's a gel to do?
(translation: gel is the British way of saying girl...say it out loud ((with a hard g)), it'll make sense.)
Well, now that I've finally got that post up, I do believe I have two more begging to get out, so prepare to be bombarded with posts.
Did ew know...?
"Nior bhris focal maith fiacal riamh." A good word never broke anyone's teeth.
Thank you for choosing Lod's Little Tidbits, and have a nice day.

Of course you enjoyed the ketchup, as fish and chips are best way to eat it. Especially nice fat chips like the ones you had. Yum!
I agree with Rebekah. Those were nice fat looking chips and they make me hungry. I haven't had breakfast yet. I was abruptly awakened this morning ( after a very late evening) to the beautiful live faces of my two "GELS" in Scotland!Nice surprise.The food does look yummy. The flexible LED on your camera is coming in handy. I like the pic of both of you in the foreground.Also, Tea for two is just too quaint.
By the way, those tarts look more like pies. I like their approach to portion control
One of my favorite things about Ireland were the doors. All colors, shapes and sizes. That's why I painted mine bright yellow. I had fish and chips at a place around Cork and the chips had peas mixed up in them.
as soon as i saw the door photo..i was like ahhh they match...smiles. liz...cool to see the aster shirt is coming in handy. you are my heros.
Did you find any round green doors with a brass knob in the center yet? I want to paint a door bright orange, or something else that would equally annoy the neighbors.
And thanks for the picture. The builders of that abbey made a mistake though. If they wanted to call it Redwall they needed to have built it out of red sandstone. Duh!
