Yesterday

Yesterday, T. rescued a bird.

Yesterday, we had a real gully washer of a rainstorm: Thunder, lightning, and raindrops this size of bowling balls coming down harder than than a jackhammer. The lightning was something else, though.

Yesterday, we had dinner at an excellent restaurant called Sage. Everything from the decor to the food was meticulous. Don't let anyone tell you that there are no good restaurants in Ireland, not with servings like this:

Aubergine parmesan

Homemade ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta and served with a creamy butter sauce

Fried potato wedges (of course)

Vanilla ice cream and biscotti with a shot of espresso

Another espresso

Not only that, we took advantage of a custom here called the Early Bird Special, which in this case offered the first three plus the espresso for a reasonable fixed price...

Don't miss Clifton's writeup of Talib Kweli's "Talk To You (Little Darlin')" here at Just A Song...

Here's a man who really does support the troops...

Oklahoma!
...

Pamela...

Peace...

Sarah Palin supports the troops and respects the flag. (Thanks to Just my little piece of the world.):



Friday's Choice: Keith Jarrett plays "Danny Boy":

Hmmm... It sounds like our weather is crossing The Pond and hitting you guys over there - that's exactly the weather we had on Wednesday. My Wednesday post tells the saga.

Sally Kern and Michelle Bachmann are twins separated at birth.

I love the Keith Jarret interpretation of "Danny Boy"; it was almost as if he was channeling Bill Evans on that one.

glad you are getting some good eats.. I knew the food would be great there. Love the links, and thanks for the shout out. Can't stand someone saying she is all about being a patriot and supporting the troops then dissing the flag..makes a lot of sense doesn't it..

Have fun, stay safe..stay dry...lol
