We decided to have some oysters as a starter yesterday evening. Oysters are not something we eat very often and when we do it’s usually at a restaurant.

We have recently moved to a new house in another part of town. One thing that I really appreciate with this new location, is its closeness to nature. This last Sunday we decided to take advantage of this and had or lunch outdoors.

After summer vacation we’ve been trying to live a little bit healthier. This new lifestyle includes a lot of walks and today we found a wonderful little path along the waterside. We also found some beautiful puffballs that we decided to take home with us.

I’ve spent the last two days in Dublin. I’ve been there before and then I had some great food, at the Mermaid Café among other places. This time on the other hand I found myself having not so wonderful, but very traditional pub food for almost all of my meals.

During my vacation in the North I ordered some books and today I finally got my hands on them. The smell of new books and the first time you open them, it’s almost as opening Christmas gifts. I will review the books as soon as I’ve read them and cooked from them.
