Things you find out or remember at the weekend...

Had a busy weekend, just gone. Car maintenance, visiting friends, cinema premiere, afternoon moseys in Dublin.....forgetting about The Match...

So, here's a brief extract from the list:

1. The new Muppets film is brilliant. Uproariously funny, universally appealing, unpretentious, and did I mention uproariously funny? Great to see the gang (+1 new muppet) back in action. And we saw a brilliant Pixar/Toy Story short too! A film for all ages.

2. The Queen of Tarts coffee/cake shop is still amazing. Yes, we've been in there before, but it's still refreshingly yummy in there. This weekend's conquests - Apple Crumble (and how did it crumble, perfect crunch, perfect apple), Victoria Sponge (a triple decker, bursting with berry goodness), Lavazza coffee and wonderful hot chocolate. Don't pass it, unless you're going to their other branch.

3. The Elephant and Castle is great for lunch. We'll have to go back to try the wings (everyone was having wings!), but our lamb pitta and elephantburger lunch was tasty, succulent, well presented and well priced. Again, we say.

4. It might be time to get some different shoes. In my rush to leave the house, I had a left and right from different pairs. Not dramatically different, but enough. Lesson learned.

Small few photographs taken, for a later time.

Till then!

Weeping Thaiger, The.

A Restaurant in Newbridge. Dropped in for some grub this evening, got a table promptly, chose our main course (we weren't going for starters, wine or desserts tonight) and ordered. I had a Thai chicken fried rice dish and M had some sort of Thai dish. Both were nice, and plentiful and arrived promptly. We ate and enjoyed our tasty dishes.
We paid promptly and left promptly. Apart from the prompting, it was a good meal, tasty and not too spicy - because that's important on a Thursday. €32.00 for 2 main courses. Recommended.
