Dinner parties, friendly gatherings, fun evenings
This was a rather yummy dinner. I tasted some of Mary’s risotto one day and vowed to make it or something similar. And so, one dismal rainy summers day, I stood at the fridge, stared down the pancetta, and began to cook. Now this was kind of put together on the day, so change it … Continue reading

It began with a random few tweets about how everybody is in the pizza making mood these days. Then the suggestion of a twitter based pizza party… And it became reality with the first #twizzaparty (of many perhaps?). I know that the people involved have all put in quite the effort over the last few … Continue reading
This Thursday. Circle it on your calendars, put it in your iPhones (I know you have em, I was at the #irishfoodies event), for it is a Thursday to make all other Thursdays look small and pale in comparison. Why you ask, why? Well good sirs, I shall tell you why… It’s the world’s first … Continue reading
