Jamie's Italian (Again!)

I wrote a short blog about this restaurant earlier this year.

And I went there again (this is my third time since I wrote the entry!!).

This is the bread we got.

I really love their home made pasta.

This restaurant is one of my (few) favourite restaurants in Ireland now.

まだパスタしか食べた事ないから

次は別のものにトライする！

 

Saturday Lunch at One Pico

Not too formal, not too casual.

The food was delicious.

I like it!

Homemade Gooseberry Crumble (Gary Rhodes's Recipe)

Here comes the Gooseberry time of the year again!

I love it.

We picked the gooseberries in my husband's father's garden.

I normally use Gary Rhodes's recipe to make a gooseberry crumble.

(It uses rosemary.)

毎年夏の恒例行事。

Went out for a dinner at Alpino,

Went out for a meal at Matt the Thresher,

With my husband's colleagues.

The food was great, but the service was too slow!

美味しかったが食事が出るのが遅かった。

Shanai Indian Cuisine Restaurant

Had a lovely dinner for St. Valentine's Day at

 Shanai Indian Cuisine Restaurant.

ヴァレンタインデイにディナーに行った。

The restaurant was decorated with Valentine balloons,

the staff were very friendly, 

and they even gave me a rose!

(My husband didn't!!)

The food was very tasty.

I'll certainly go back again.

食べ物もおいしかったし

Chelsea Buns

Made Chelsea buns, using Sainsbury's recipe.

Instead of armagnac prunes, I used various dried fruits in rum.

However, there was something wrong with the recipe.

It says 100ml skimmed milk,

but the liquid is too little for 500g flour!!

イギリスのスーパー、セインズベリーの

レシピを使ってチェルシー・バンを作ってみた。

でも、何かレシピに間違いがあるようで

水分が足りなくて水やミルクを大量に加える必要があった。

I haven't tried it yet.
