Happy Holidays!

Traditionally, I’ve gone “window” shopping in Dublin during the holidays to see what festive scenes the stores created.  This year, however, early December was bitterly cold and I couldn’t get a day off during the week (weekends are just thronged with people walking in front of the camera).

So here’s a few other sites (stick with this one until the end where the Arnotts windows are) that will give you a glimpse into the 2017 collection (I’m glad I’m not the only who has issues with glare).

For my part, I give you a peek at a wonderful Christmas dessert I discovered at Tesco. It’s a tree (well really an upside down ice cream cone) made of Belgian chocolate, with a silvery shimmer on the outside and nothing but yummy goodness on the inside. The tree rests atop a gooey brownie, topped with chocolate mousse wrapped around a dollop of soft caramel and sprinkled with honeycomb and shortcake pieces.  Pure decadence!

Beannachtaí an tSéasúir agus athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh! Hope you have a Happy Holiday Season and best wishes for 2018!
