<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At the six week, half-way point here we are all tested on
what we have learned. But it’s not multiple choice or wax-eloquently essay
questions. No, this would be a …. “practical test” (ominous music swelling in
the background).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For
the first test, we were give a list of some 25 possible kitchen skills, two of
which everyone would do, and two would be from the master list which
included: fileting a round fish, mayonnaise, short crust pastry, yeast rolls,
scones, various incarnations of eggs, knife skills on a myriad of vegetative
victims… you get the idea.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The
second test would be going in to one of the large kitchens and identifying any
of a number of herbs and lettuces. Now, herbs I know. But honestly… some of the
lettuces here do not show up in our local Safeway: Cos, Lollo Rosso, Mizuma,
Mizuna, sorrels, mustards, rocket, land cress, and the like (and unlike).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For
two weeks I would walk through the acre “glass house” (aka <i>green house</i> to us),
taking pictures, picking leaves, tasting leaves, drawing pictures. It seemed like
resistant information. At lunchtime, we students would pick at our salads, holding up specimens to see who could identify the particular green
culprit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

every Wednesday I’ve been here, I’ve shown up at 7:45 am for a walking class
through the grounds on organic gardening. The week of the exam, I decided to
give myself the gift of the extra hour of sleep. Wouldn’t you know … that
Wednesday (two days before the exam), they went to the herb garden and glass house to give a bonus talk on
the herbs and lettuces that the test would include. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

assigned a station where there were 10 glass jars of herbs, and 10 glass jars

those. And for the herbs, we also had to give two specific recipes, which use
that particular herb. My eyes blurred as I hyper-focused. I also seemed to be
on hyper-drive. When I finished the identification, I went to another spot
where there was a description of a multi-coursed meal – and an assortment of
“cutlery,” dishes and glasses. I had to “set the table” for that meal. Next I was
to properly offer, serve and pour a wine selection.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

No. 2 would be where we would all slice and sweat an onion, and make a
parchment piping bag – and be given two tasks at random. We would have 20
minutes… and everything from remembering to sharpen our knives (not over the
cutting board and wiping the blades before you used them), to what side of the
cutting board you used for what task , to time management would be observed by
a proctoring instructor. Personally I was hoping for mayonnaise and segmenting
an orange, and dreading filleting a round fish (I’d already botched a cod and
was looking up numbers in the phone book through the resulting fillet) – or
choux pastry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

she (my proctor) would be looking for: sweat onions to ‘soft’ without color,
use the butter wrapper for a second layer of insulation… put plenty of color in
the sautéed mushrooms. For the eggs she would want to see me basting them and
not getting them too done. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Years ago they started out with three heritage varieties (no notes here, so can’t elucidate you). However, with the disease that swept through here a few years back, they could not bring in any more pigs, so decided to inbreed what they had. They feed their pigs a wide variety of things. But there is Irish law that prohibits pigs who will be fed to the public from getting “scraps.” Silly law, as pigs and humans should live in a symbiotic relationship of one using the other’s leftovers very efficiently. Evidently the pigs are fed and adore comfrey and seaweed which are really good for them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Normally, they would want a pig a few months older and hung for up to two weeks. Adult pigs and their progeny were really friendly. They have “houses” … and root in the grass very neatly (actually a straight square)! Imagine! Brilliant! As Darina says, these pigs have a wonderful life: they live outdoors, root to their hearts’ content, would put the local vet out of business if he only had them to rely on as they never get sick, and they enjoy each other! Then they have a lovely ride to town, have a sleep over with other pigs to relax, and then it's piggy heaven.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

He is a great teacher and obviously loves what he does -- as well as a great believer in following the natural lines of separation in the pig and only used the saw to go through the ribs (interesting that a butcher’s saw has the teeth going forwards instead of backwards).

However, there is Irish law against using the actual fresh blood, so they have to use “dried blood” instead (now really… which is worse?).

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Here they call “pork” pig meat that is uncured, and “bacon” is anything cured. “Bacon” as WE know it is called “streaky bacon.” So confusing!! Interesting that sea salt has a level of natural nitrites in it…. So that when meat is cured with it, there will be a slight pink ring.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

have planned my morning hours of multi-tasking cooking. Leave our house at
7:45-7:50 to arrive at school 10-ish minutes later. Go to my assigned
kitchen and station. Begin prepping for the morning. Partner and I will
have divvied up the 4-6 recipes, which need to be completed (and our
station cleaned) by noon, at which point the instructor will come and
grade my creations based on accuracy, taste and presentation. We also must
be accomplishing skills on the Skills list which our instructor signs off
on. So.. not only must I joint a chicken (and about 50 other such skills),
but do it three times to show I really do know it. Each day I have a
different assigned chore. We eat a lunch of our morning’s prepared foods.
The afternoon session of the next day’s recipe demonstration goes from
1:45 to 5:15-ish, after which we taste test everything. Also daily I
should be filing all of my recipes and organizing my notes. Hasn’t
happened yet, and am a bit panicked.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">So
far some of my most memorable chores have been: salad making where we gather
the salad greens at 7:30 am (I spaced that one), taking all kitchen scraps out
to the chickens, setting the lunch tables, blitz/cleaning the kitchen after all
the damage from four hours of cooking has occurred, dishes after the afternoon
tasting, serving lunch<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or hosting and
being nice to guests, making the daily fresh lemonade, gathering herbs, and
today for me was making buttah!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

about a quart of heavy cream from the morning’s milking of the Jerseys. Now it
goes in one of manys (they don’t have KitchenAids.. they have … ) Kenmores (and
I don’t think it has anything to do with Sears). Then you basically beat the “H”
out of it until it separates into granules. Next you rinse it until the water
runs clear and let it drain for the next two hours. Salt is added at the ratio
of 2% of the total weight of the butter. However, I wanted to make it a fresh
butter (won’t keep) and so I added just a gentle amount of English Sea
Salt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next you get out the “butter
paddles” (boards ridged on one side), and roll balls of butter. So zennnnnn.
And very satisfying. I dare say more than a few folks chose my butter balls at
lunch!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

is that smaller amounts of really good stuff satisfies much more completely
with less bulk. Are we starving for our sources?... and so instead eat and

most cooking techniques (though I’m a little dicey on jointing the chicken and
getting the “oyster” in … and fileting a fish -- we’ve learned the round fish..
next is the flat fish). Herbs and spices I know… but seeing all the different
lettuces (or “leaves” as they say here), are a bit baffling, and yet foraged greens
are slowly making their way into my bones.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the main street in our little town of Ballycotton. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Brian
and I went in for some pub grub tonight, but found out there is only food
served Fridays to Sundays. It was just us in the bar, and Mike seemed happy
enough to direct us someplace to get food. But we decided to take a load off
our four feet and bellied up to the bar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mike
told us about the beers on draft and let me taste two besides Guinness (and yes
Guinness won out). Mike’s wife is the cook on weekends. His three daughters
help out. He lent us some books on the area to take home and peruse. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mike
told us the pub culture is changing… thinks it’s probably due to technology.
Used to be that the pub was the center of social life. Not so much any more.
Three 20-somethings might be sitting up at the bar each with their smart phone
making other connections.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It
was a really nice pub. And Mike was the kind of guy you probably could talk to
about just about anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder if
three days of food service a week is enough to keep him afloat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The
recession is still affecting people in Ireland. The real estate boom of 2006
crashed, and as in the U.S. of A., many Irish are upside down on their homes by
a third or more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In
our class of 60 at Ballymaloe, many of the students are looking to a new career
after having been deemed “redundant” in their jobs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each day Darina reads advertisements from food
establishments seeking “passionate chefs.” And each morning Darina asks in her
coach-mother-cleric tone of voice: “.. and how many have found a job?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I know it), is now on an even keel (though I have been getting to school at
7:30 am and getting home between 7 and 8 pm, followed by a couple of hours of
class prep for the next day). Nevertheless, I will try to catch you all up

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;">Every
day the 5-6 Jersey cows are milked here (I’ve yet to get a turn). About every
three days, there is enough milk to call 8 students into the dairy to try their
hand at making cheese. Tim Allen (Mr. Darina), is in charge of this operation.</span><span style="font-family: Candara;"></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">By
the time we had arrived on Tuesday evening, he had already added the culture
and rennet to the two vats of milk. We “cut” the
whatever-it’s-called-at-this-stage and it becomes the curds and whey. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Really
fun, and impossible to photograph, is getting our hands in up to our elbows and
moving around the curds and continuing to break them up. The mixture is very
warm and unctuous (love that word). Besides whey is really good for your skin…
so it’s kind of like a milk bath! Then 1/3 of the whey is released (it really
tastes good and is full of protein), and 1/3 warm water is added. This washes it.
Then we release all the whey except a thin covering over the curds… at which
point we begin scooping the curds into our own cheese molds (think PVC pipe
with pin holes). We weight it, turn it out and reverse it’s direction in the
mold a couple of times, figure out our cheese’s position on the grid of our 8
cheeses, and make plans to turn it in 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 1 hour
more. Then we will turn it again in the morning, and “salt” it the next day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is merely rubbing “dairy salt” (a percentage of the total weight) into this
gouda-style cheese. Then we will turn the cheese every day for the next week,
and a couple times a week for as long as we are here. We can take it with us
when we leave. Ideally it would be ready in 4-5 months. Since customs is not
going to let it come with me, I guess Brian and I will have a cheese fest
somewhere in Scotland or England before we come home!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

calories, extend their muscles and their stamina. The other group of us likes
to linger, see the sights, notice the little things. We are born foragers.
While the first group sees with the destination in sight, WE see (and enjoy) the
little things around us:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the trees IN
the forest and maybe even name them! My father and sisters are power walkers. I
am like my mother… I like the scenery along the way.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I linger longer, and press my nose against the Ponderosa Pine bark that smells
like vanilla. I do NOT return from a walk all sweaty.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span>That was the purpose, theme, and anticipation of today’s class-in-motion
with Darina Allen. You see while I <i>LONG</i> to forage, I don’t know that much about
it. Oh, I know a blackberry when I see it, and grew up picking sour grass from
the side of the road, occasionally sucking the nectar out of those purple
flowers from the low growing foliage, and I took a Field Biology in College
where I ate sea urchin gonads. But I really don’t know anything about foraging
… and I have always wanted to!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

chicks. This was to be a full day class (9am – 5pm). She told about how
foraging was a way of life for her as a girl with her family, but didn’t even know the
word “forage.” It’s just what they did to procure most of their food: berries, fruit, nuts, herbs, leaves, shellfish, etc. Eating from nature does not only fill one’s
stomach, but there is lost lore in how these plants help our bodies: Nettle
keeps away “the rheumatics” .. Hawthorne for cardio vascular, feverfew for
headaches, comfrey draws out infection, and carrageen (seaweed) that makes
metabolism work optimally. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: large;"> But the biggest bang for my buck($$$), came in discovering the shellfish that are there for the taking (responsibly of course … like manna in the wilderness). Darina pointed out limpets and periwinkles and muscles (they all looked pretty small to me and I’ll admit I had my doubts that this country Swede could fill up on them). Not at this shore, but nearby would be clams and cockles.<span> </span>We looked at seaweeds (all types are edible) - laver, dulse, carrageen, sea spinach. Local farmers spread it on their land as a fertilizer. And cooking in seawater is the best medium for all of these – not just because it already has salt, but for all the many minerals and goodness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today was the first of our weekly lecture days. Once a
week we have no kitchen work, but come to school in our regular clothes and
absorb 6+ hours of lecture. From now on, these lecture days will be on
Wednesday. Believe me.. it’s a needed hiatus from the hectic schedule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was an absolutely fascinating and
engrossing day with several topics: Irish cheese, Wine, Fire and Food safety.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Darina talks a mile a minute, each sentence is packed
with information, and she is always enthusiastic. It hit me today that she
follows in the best national and cultural tradition of story telling about all
things culinary. She had us riveted telling us a possible scenario about “why”
of the turkey stuffing scare. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I marvel at this woman who came to Balleymaloe in the
late 1960s as a Hotel Management graduate wanting to do something with food.
She heard about Myrtle Allen who was putting together meals that were locally
sourced (no one was doing that). Darina joined the Allen family, marrying
Myrtle’s son Tim. Four children followed, and Darina wanted to make a go of
living off the land. She began teaching cooking classes, and pursued more
culinary education for herself in Italy. But most of all she believed in her
dream and herself and hard work. Now the whole family works in one or another enterprise. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

count myself lucky to e exposed to her knowledge, passion and expertise. She
has led the charge in this country, taking it from obscure food to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>world class and world leading in local
sourcing local promoting of Ireland's finest and freshest. She has made
important contacts and friends all over the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is always positive, polite, yet firm

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>She is a huge advocate of everything and anything
natural, and a dedicated foe to anything processed, fake, or with additives.
With the zeal of an evangelist, she lifts up the benefits of raw milk, and
battles for her and her countryfolk’s right to choose more natural alternatives.

lower grade tea. Use loose tea and a strainer. Also, pick herbs from the
garden and pour hot water over the fresh bruised leaves (or use a combination of fresh and dry). And start with water from the tap; it’s cold and aerated, which will produce the
best tea. Did you know that in Ireland, more tea is consumed per capita </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;">than anywhere in the world?</span></span></li>

cheeses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Between 1759 and 1870, the
biggest cheese market in the world was in Ireland. Some 30 years ago a
Veronica Steel from Dublin and her husband inherited a farm on the Dublin
peninsula. She started experimenting with making her own cheese, beginning
a new epoch in Irish farm cheeses.</span></span></li>

French onion quiche was on the menu. Only one problem: no beans to blind bake

it with dough and parchment. Then I nested a stainless saucepan inside, and

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>My grading critique: filled my pasta bowl too full… and
oh yes.. left out an ingredient in my chocolate tart. I had everything weighed
and measured and prepped ahead of time. But there are no prep little dishes, so
I had an array of plastic bags and paper towel packets. I had finally made and
blind-baked my crust, and mixed by hand everything for the tart (no
mechanizations for now like chopping the hazelnuts and chocolate, creaming
butter … we do everything by hand). After it was filled and safely ensconced in
the oven, I was cleaning up my station. As I went through the empty plastic
bags and paper towels I ran across an oh-oh: ½ cup of flour! Yikes! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But the tart had 2 eggs –
enough to bind everything… however the consistency was more custardy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And
success today: blind baking my tart! First of all the recipe is uber-easy and
comes together like all the ingredients were waiting for this moment in time.
Second, I’ve NEVER made a blind-baked crust that didn’t shrink like new cotton
meeting <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>boiling water. But a few hints
like including extra side dough and then folding it and crimping it under
worked “brilliantly!” The dry beans<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>baked <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">en croute</i> for 25
minutes. I think I can fearlessly face pre-baked crust from now on!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gotta love those tart pans… so much more
presentable than pie tins!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Orange
scones were brilliant. You roll out/pat scone dough into a rectangle. Then you
slather on the orange butter. Roll it up and cut it like cinnamon rolls. Serve with more orange butter. Num!!!

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I was to make “Beginner’s Brown Bread.” Well, I lost
something in the translation. All the recipes are given in three calibrations:
metric weight, lbs/oz, and cups. Somehow I got too much flour or too much soda…
but my batter was practically up to the rim. It looked great baked (high and
impressive), but evidently was outside the box (pan) of what it should have been. One
trick here is to pop the bread out of the <i>tin</i>, and bake another 10
minutes to dry it off. “Brilliant!” as they say here. You tap the bottom and
the top of the loaf until both sound the same.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a station in the kitchen with a stove top and all equipment. We are “brown” ..
so we have to make sure we use only the brown marked utensils and equipment. We
wash as we go along. We have tons of fresh herbs to use, and right now rhubarb.</span></div>

set the dining room and break it down, we clean our stations/range/ovens every
single day. We have to take inventory of all of our equipment at the end of
each cooking session. Students come in early to make stock. Student stay late
to clean up after the demonstration. Students take the scraps down to the chickens, and recycle, and pick the lettuces and the herbs. And all along with us are these fabulous

with Darina. She is an amazing, brilliant entrepreneur, and a very hard worker.
There are so many layers of this empire that I am blown away. She has her
finger in every pot and has energy that belies her age. Everyone is on a first
name basis here. There are no “yes chef!” affectations. Respect here is borne
of hard work and working collegially. Nice atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

so simple can be so outside of my ability is really startling. But then, why else did God have me marry someone who could sharpen knives?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the day previous, Darina showed us a killer dessert fit for a queen using said

crunchies of the crumbled cookies within. Ummm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

cover and turn off the heat for 10 minutes. Drain and put in cold water until service. It will stay perfectly. Reserve pasta water, for
it will absolutely keep the pasta from sticking (or unstick that which has
already), and add a bit to the final mixture. </span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Tip:</u></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;"> Take frozen whole tomatoes (from your garden last year) and
put in cold water. After half a minute the skins will rub off. You can then
slice, dice, whatever.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: Candara;">Tip:</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Candara;">
BIG bowls are really useful and needed in the kitchen. Use for: (1) tossing
salad before serving or putting in serving bowl. Allows even distribution of
dressing and gentle handling. (2) use for mixing quick bread. A shallow wide
bowl allows quick mixture of ingredients to prevent forming gluten. (3) Rubbing
in butter to the flour. As you rub and lift it high, it helps in getting butter to all
the flour. Again, lift hands high while rubbing the butter against your
fingers.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Candara;">We've also been taught how to use one hand to hold/steady the bowl, and the other hand becomes our "claw" (rigid 5 curled fingers) to mix the ingredients from inside (where liquid has been added), to outside.</span></span></li>

delightful commentator as he teaches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
told us that Waterford (Ireland) has it’s own sea salt which is practically black (note to
self: check it out!). One thing Rory does with his salads is to: “toss with less
dressing then you think you’ll need” .. and then take a squeeze bottle with
dressing to add a bit more after you have added the composed ingredients (today
those ingredients included dates, kumquats, pomegranate seeds, nuts, honey). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our first
info was on our rotations. Each day we have a chore/duty/assignment that could
be setting the dining room for lunch, or showing up at 7:30 to pick herbs and
lettuce, or 8am to make stock, or making bread, or serving the afternoon
demonstration’s goodies. (Note: I’ve already flunked reading my rotation. I
thought I was to show up for making stock and it looks like I’m supposed to be
on bread, and I have no idea where/what/who/when).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We also saw who our teammate would be for the week and
which kitchen we would be in. We are in teams of 6 with 1 instructor, one
kitchen area, and one partner. Today we practiced knife skills (they teach the
index finger control rather than choking up). A few cut fingers christened the
time. It still unnerves me that there is NO sanitizer anywhere in the kitchen.
It is the two-sink method: soapy water and rinse water, and then you “dry” the
dish w/ your bar towel. Also eggs are not refrigerated, but left out at room
temperature (in the supermarket as well as in homes). And, I was the only one

drive in the lead to our cottage, which is about 3 miles down the road. The
town of Ballycotton is a small fishing/seaside/visitor town. I won’t say
“tourist” because the usual “tourist” stuff is absent. But there are places to
stay and a few pubs…. Beside the killer location.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

overlooking the bay. The kitchen is as large as the living room with a table
for 6 in a three-sided bay window with THE most beautiful view. It is fully
equipped with everything including a washer-dryer (yes, that is one machine),
excluding a microwave. The living room has a wood/coal (coal??) stove, a TV,
Wi-Fi (yeah!!!), a chaise and an overstuffed chair. In each window is a big
geranium plant (memo to self: don't kill it!). Up the stairs is our bedroom and bathroom. There is room for
all of our stuff (though wondering where we are going to put three daughters, a
son-in-law and grandson in one week). We even have a mini balcony with two
chairs and a table. Outside is a patch of grass, and a lower terrace with a
dining wood table and chairs. This could not be nicer (well maybe a shower)... and all this in about 700 square feet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Candara;"> This day turned on a dime!
It was to be our last day in downtown Dublin and we had on the itinerary seeing
the Guinness-whatever, and Trinity College where the ancient illuminated manuscript
of the Book of Kells resides. We would be checking out of our wonderful
B&B, and seeing the City via bus, and ending up at my high school friend
Pauline’s to spend the next two nights. But before breakfast, whilst I was
checking email, my FaceBook “phone” rang, and there was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pauline, “ringing” me – saying the weather
was too great and we must go and see some wonderful site!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Candara;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So out we checked from No.31, navigated the morning
Dublin traffic (Brian only slipped into the wrong lane one time), and found
Pauline and David. (Note on roundabouts here: If you are going to take the
“third exist” you have to stay in the inside lane!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

director/owner/one-woman show, was that just this year the Irish have to pay
property tax. Never having had to pay such before, the European Union demanded
they do this to help pay back their debt. She was not a happy camper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also seemed pretty disgusted upon

Neolithic Ritual Center and Passage Tomb north of Dublin, called Newgrange.
This is an architectural and astronomical wonder. Like the pyramids, HUGE
stones were brought here from far away by people who didn’t yet know the wheel.
Their life span was less than 30 years, so several generations devoted
themselves to building this massive structure. </span></span></div>

narrow opening that takes you to the center where some sort of rituals were
performed and “some” bones placed there. We walked the passageway which was

St. Patrick lighted the Paschal Fire.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That’s what it feels like.
My last conscious memory was being in the San Francisco airport. After that,
it’s all a blur of tight seats, an 18-hr bladder, good dinner, inedible
breakfast, hoofing it at least 2 miles in Heathrow to get to the right
terminal/gate for Dublin, driving and circling the unfamiliar city for 2 hrs
trying to find our hotel, finding dinner to eat at 11am our time, and waking up
at 3am Dublin time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But let me begin in the
Dublin airport, because my husband gets lifetime kudos and eternal heaven
stamps! He had arranged for our rental car months ago. Most expensive part?
Insurance. As we could not find said agreed-upon rental car company, Brian asks
the Budget folks (whose stall was right there) where unmentioned rental company
was located … whereupon a good Irish salesman tells Brian he’ll make him a
better deal. I walk away. 20 minutes later my husband has saved us about $1k
and we have a bigger car to boot!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Next on the hit parade was
finding our hotel. We only had written directions from the hotel. We have no
GPS as the next Garmin incarnation for Ireland is not released until May 1. Add
to this dilemma we now have a car with the steering wheel on the right side of
the car (I noticed that right away when I opened <b>the passenger door</b> and
was greeted by the driver’s seat). I feel like I’m in some sort of trick car
sitting in such an empty left side! Add to that driving on the left side.
That’s not so bad until you have to turn across traffic. So confusing. Oh… and
best of all…. There are no street signs.. nope – there are teeny weenie
placards up 40 feet on the sides of buildings in 10-point type. Lovely. Then
you go down a main street trying to get over to the street you just missed, and
for 20 streets there are no-turn signs. Finally we dug out the Rick Steves’
book and his map of Dublin and found our place – after circling Dublin for two
hours!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our hotel for two nights
couldn’t be lovelier… and a welcome respite after the aforementioned adventure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here it is:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><a href="http://www.number31.ie/">http://www.number31.ie/</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brian found it reading a blog from a former
Ballymaloe student. We were welcomed in and given hot tea, milk and cookies
while our 5 heavy bags were whisked away to our room, which also is lovely. And
we have wi-fi.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;">The next hurdle was
dinner. Two recommendations put us at The Farm, a 10 minute walk. It was billed
as a place that uses local ingredients and hand prepares everything. It was
charming. Our server was from Canada. The hostess had an accent I couldn’t
place. There were Americans, French and Irish in the upstairs room where we
ate. On the table was a wireless buzzer that would connect us with the kitchen
if we needed anything. Brian tried an alcoholic cider (8%), which he liked and
I passed on. I had an Irish goat cheese tart on dressed rocket, and Irish
salmon swimming contentedly in a perfect unctuous hollandaise. Brian had </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;"><b>cottage
pie</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;"> which is shepherd’s pie with minced beef. The one strange thing was the
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;"><b>soda bread </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Candara;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">which looked like it
had been baked in an Easy-Bake Oven of yesteryear, yesteryear. But the Irish
butter was so to die for, I enjoyed it on its own.</span></span></span></div>

is Portland meets Chicago. Women seem to love black tights. Lots of folks
walking (women in athletic shoes), biking, and not minding the weather one bit.
Not many smoking. People are fairly polite in traffic (I had to keep telling Brian
not to veer to the left)… hardly any honking of horns. Pedestrians obey traffic
lights, and crosswalks are not on every corner. I’m sure there is a system; I
just haven’t figured it out yet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Learning curve on the blog is up in the nosebleed section.<br />
Left from a beautiful sunny Santa Rosa this noon, laden down with way too much stuff, but nothing I can do without (pix below is just my stuff... double that for Brian -- all to fit in a 300 sf cottage)!. I've got my books -- I've bot my electronics -- I've got my knives.. and somewhere around here is a passport!<br />

The international section of SFO is relatively empty. I lost my eyeshadow some where along the line, but decided to forgo the "duty free" version at only $45.<br />
Our plane is already slated to be late. We fly nonstop to London (10-12 hrs), and then an hour later (unless we miss it), we will fly to Dublin (someplace I've only sung about).<br />
It's hard to believe this is finally happening, it's been on the drawing board for so long.<br />
Stay tuned for the weird, the wacky, and the wonderful!RevsOnTheRoadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11321369381653234753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272612471208937576.post-16412216478823553802013-04-16T15:46:00.002-07:002013-04-16T15:46:46.601-07:00Adventure to the land of the Celts to dig in dirt, dung and doughRevsOnTheRoadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11321369381653234753noreply@blogger.com1
