hopeful holds the tension/ dew jewels cling the sway/ clasped tight against the world/ not yet knowing it's ok/ the waiting deepens color/ trying to accept every sun ray/ gathering its truth song/ beauty at bay so long/ awaiting opening to day/

Irish Food


Haven't been to grocery store yet. Stop. Slightly worried about finding Meganable* food here. Stop. Sally (lady - from NW originally - with whom am staying) informed of lack of tofu and hard-to-get humus. Stop. Lactose intolerance presents obstacle to savoring otherwise muchly savorable Irish cheeses. Stop.

Found note on kitchen counter inviting kitchen shopping. Stop. Rummaged up small (read: normal-sized) strawberries - sharper and less sweet than at home. Stop. Was warned by co-worker that Irish food would be blander than the States (but this also means, in some cases, healthier). Stop. Goat "cheese" - sharp and non-stomach-hurting. Stop. Will have to look into this upon return. Stop. Oat crackers - good only with the "cheese". Stop. Apple juice - almost as amazing as what has been juiced at home (read: MUCH better than America stores) - that came from a carton. Stop. All liquids come in cartons here apparently. Stop.

Am eating while writing this post. Stop.


*Meganable - anything compatible with, digestible by, or enjoyed by Megan.
