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.

Thank you for opening the window of your experience for us. I'm really enjoying the read!
ReplyDeleteI should've known you'd already have posted heaps since your arrival! :-) Loving the memories your stories are causing to come flooding back to me. And, I suppose I could have told you more about the idosyncratic vernacular, but then you'd not have the chance to learn all those funny things yourself! P.S. I don't have your PNN code for reading your posts there (could you email me the password directly, pretty please?) Lots of love xoxo
