Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Escape to Sicily (Not quite…)
This will be a short one. I’ve run out of time today but will be back over the weekend for the real part two Sicily post. Ah, Sicily. It has only been a week since we were there, and I’m already missing it. To recreate a little of the holiday, I made rigatoni alla Norma…

Escape to Sicily (Parte Prima)
I did specify that my next post would be written with an Aperol spritz in hand, but we’ll have to settle for a glass of Vena Aetna rose wine instead. Yes, I’m writing from the balcony of our hotel in sunny Taormina, Sicily, overlooking the azure blue sea and scenic cliff top resorts. It has…
