Paul Flynn's Family Food 2

I made Warm New Potato Salad.

I changed a few things--

1. Used blue cheese instead of goat's cheese.

2. Used homemade plum jam when frying red onions.

It was nice, but I thought it might be nicer without cheese altogether.

美味しかったけど

チーズの代わりにクルミを入れてもいいかも。

Paul Flynn's Family Food 1

I've been cooking food, using Paul Flynn's book

Family Food, which I bought in Lidl.

I've already tried 7 dishes.

アイルランドのカリスマシェフ、

ポール・フリンのレシピ本Family Foodから

既に７つも作ってしまった。

So far, everything I cooked is absolutely delicious!

今のところ作ったものは全部美味しい!

Yesterday, I made this:

Baked Sweet Potato with Feta Cheese, 

Spinach & Chilli Pumpkin Seeds.

(I used a butternut squash, instead of sweet potatoes.)

昨日はこれを作った。

バターナット・スクウォッシュをローストしたもの。

Very good!

美味しかった。

Should I try cooking all the dishes in the book

à la "Julie and Julia"?

映画の『ジュリー&ジュリア』のように

レシピ本の料理を制覇するべきかな？

Afternoon Tea at Shelbourne Hotel

Good experience.

Good service.

OK cakes.

Not so OK teas....

 Grace Kelly themed afternoon tea.

 Supposed to look like an Hermès bag....

Spanish Style Lamb

The recipe for this lamb was created by Aongus Hanly--

who used to be a head chef for Tosca restaurant

which was owned by one and only BONO.

(Though the restaurant was an Italian restaurant.)

このレシピはU2のボノが所有していたレストランの

シェフによるもの。美味しかった。 

Jamie's Italian (Yet Again)

This is my third time to come to this restaurant in 2015.

今年に入ってここの来るのは3度目！

This time, it was for our St. Valentine's dinner.

今回はバレンタインデーのディナー。 

Tasty & tasty.

I got so full that I had to skip the dessert.

食べ過ぎてデザートは諦めた。

前回パスタ以外にも挑戦したいと書いたが、

ここの手作りパスタは本当に美味しいので

またまたパスタにしてしまった。

 

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！

 

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 meal at Matt the Thresher,

With my husband's colleagues.

Shanai Indian Cuisine Restaurant

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

 Shanai Indian Cuisine Restaurant.

The restaurant was decorated with Valentine balloons,

the staff were very friendly, 

and they even gave me a rose!

(My husband didn't!!)

レストラン内はヴァレンタイン用に

風船で装飾され、

女性客にはバラを一輪プレゼント！

The food was very tasty.

I'll certainly go back again.

We had a  meal at Roly Saul,

We went to Dobbins to celebrate

our 12th wedding anniversary on 1st August.

It was not too formal to be pretentious, 

and the staff are friendly and helpful.

The chips were the best chips I've ever had.

フレンチフライが美味しかった。

これを食べるためだけにでも

また行きたい（笑）。

Pavlova.

I will recommend!

Bewley's Kenya Blue Mountain Coffee

A coffee lover friend of mine, who lived in Japan for 15 years,

told me the other day that she buys blue mountain coffee at 

Bewley's on Grafton Street.

I never knew I could buy blue mountain coffee in Ireland.

アイルランドでブルーマウンテンコーヒーが

買うことができるのは知らなかった。

早速、グラフトン通りのビューリーズに買いに行った。

As we own an electric coffee grinder,

I bought beans.

電動ミルがあるのでコーヒー豆を購入。

Tasty!

Pancake Tuesday

Is 12 February in 2013.

It's the same day as Shrove Tuesday.

カトリックの習慣で、灰の水曜日の前の日、

レントが始まる日の前の日の火曜日に、

パンケーキ（クレープ）を食べる。

だからと言って明日から、好物を断つ訳じゃないけど（苦笑）。
