Kiss Me I'm Irish


Yesterday, we celebrated our St. Patty's Day low key. We had plans to go to the horse races, but it was cold and rainy so we decided against that idea. We slept in, or should I say laid in bed talking and surfing the The World Wide Web for house ideas. Kev finally got up and made green pancakes.
I worked on some lesson plans (Mapped out the rest of the year! Only 10 more weeks.) while he switched out our beds. My terrible 11 year old bed is now at his house and his wonderful hardly ever been slept on bed is here!

We watched a very cute movie, Here Comes the Boom and I cooked an Irish dinner. 
I came across a recipe for Dublin Coddle while searching for Irish recipes. It requires very minimal ingredients; onion, potato, irish sausage, bacon, pepper, and parsley.

I couldn't find Irish sausage so I used these.
You layer everything making sure to season each layer with pepper and parsley. Pour bullion flavored boiling water over it and bake it at 300 for several hours.
I even cooked it in my new green casserole dish.
It turned out very flavorful and was yummy. Will definitely make this again. 

Next year we will be in Ireland celebrating  St. Patrick's Day!!!!! 



And of course Kev made drinks.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
