๐ธ The groceries just got delivered and I’m all kinds of excited to try this!
Food and Drink
๐ธ Love this pic I took of my partner at dinner last night. ๐
๐ฅ Last night’s meal at Marceline was phenomenal.
The service is friendly, attentive and authentically nice. The food has been consistently excellent. The prices are very reasonable and I leave feeling it was a fair exchange. Finally, the physical environment is cute and the ambience is just lovely.
๐ธ This is a sin against god and man. An abomination. A reckless, immoral experiment.
And tastes exactly like mint choc chip ice-cream. So I may be having another. ๐ต
๐ธ Unpacking the good stuff for TV this evening. I picked this up in Dublin last weekend and I enjoyed every single mouthful.
โ๏ธ The week that was, 14th to 20th October

I’ve remembered to write up my weekly note, even if the week isn’t strictly speaking over. This week was mostly about travel, work and fun, with a big helping of delicious food. ๐๐ป Read on here๐ฝ๏ธ We had the most incredble meal at a new local restaurant last night. Marceline, in Canary Wharf. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. Food, service, ambience. I had the biggest and best serving of Moules Frites in my life. Thoroughly recommended if you’re in the neighbourhood.

๐ธ The difference a few hours can make! We headed into town for some shopping, a beer in Soho and some lunch. Enjoyed a fab lunch at Ben’s on Brewer Street. Accompanied by sunshine all the way.
And now it’s time to recharge the batteries before cocktails and then dinner here in Canary Wharf.

โ๏ธ Shortly heading out to meet a local friend for some coffee, catching-up and inevitable discussions about the state of the world. Looking forward to seeing him. I always learn a lot, and leave our chats with a face sore from laughing.
Also: trying a new (to me) coffee place here in Dublin.
๐ฎ๐ช When in Rome…
It’s crucial to enjoy a Guinness when back home in Dublin. It’s practically the law!

๐ฝ๏ธ Busy preparing dinner, then the next episode of ‘Agatha All Along’. Tonight’s feast: homemade roasted vegetables, some humous, and a two-people helping of falafels. I’m using my weekend trip as an excuse to eat all the perishable (lovely) things in the fridge.
Such a good, sensible boy.

๐ฅ That moment when you open the fridge and realise you still have last night’s delicious leftovers available for lunch. Few things come close.

๐ธ I had a vegan friend over for dinner last night, so I obviously had to prepare something appropriate.
And this passed, with flying colours, apparently! Veggie fritters, slow roasted peppers and aubergine, garlic courgette and a side salad (which he brought along). We ate very well indeed.

๐บ Enjoying a beer out on the balcony and slowly relaxing into weekend mode. Soaking up all this sunshine before itโs gone!

๐ Found a fab little ramen place minutes from my hotel. Had a delicious bowl of Tonkotsu ramen and a heaping dish of Takoyaki ๐

๐ฝ๏ธ I am full of delicious roast chicken. There’s nothing like the roast dinner your own mother makes for you!
๐ถ๏ธ Cooking up a big pot of my chilli con carne for this evening’s dinner. It’s been a while since I made it and we both fancied something spicy!
๐ธ Enjoying a delicious Erdinger alcohol-free beer out on the balcony this evening.
๐ธ Sitting down to order an early (by Spanish standards) dinner. But first, a bottle of this delicious alcohol-free beer. One of my favourites.
๐ธ Enjoying this sunset with a pornstar martini ๐ธ
๐ธ Decided on an al fresco lunch today, trying a new restaurant here in Canary Wharf: Oysteria.
๐บ It appears to be beer oโclock once again. Doing a little bit of work while I sipโฆ
๐บ Itโs 30C and itโs beer oโclock. These things may or may not be related. Cheers!
๐ธ Just been for a pint at the Munich Cricket Club, enjoying the evening sunshine over West India Quay.
๐ธ Brunch out on the balcony today. Smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels ๐ฅฏ
๐ Enjoyed some phenomenal pizza and delicious beer at Crate Brewery last night. 10/10 would recommend.
๐ธ We enjoyed a bite or two last night. The most delicious prawns and some very pungent chorizo!
๐ซ Took part in some market research earlier in the week and just received a massive box from Hotel Chocolate as a thank you.
A perfect start to the weekend!
๐ถ๏ธ So glad I made a massive vat of chilli last night. It kept me going for hours while watching the election coverage, and today I can have delicious leftovers for lunch. ๐
