Cake and Cordial: June 2010
http://cakeandcordial.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Apologise, I have been a little bit remiss in my blogging duties of late. This is probably due to the general malaise I’ve been feeling the past few weeks, a sort of persistent ennui which is very unlike my usual temperament. I think this condition is pretty common in Ireland these days. There is really high unemployment, which has left a lot of skilled and talented people with nothing to do except sit around the house all day drinking tea, eating digestive biscuits. And more on...

Cake and Cordial: July 2010
http://cakeandcordial.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 21, 2010. In Praise of a Rainy Day. It's practically an excuse to loll around and do nothing, and that is a-ok with me. My favourite things to watch on rainy days are usually old tv boxsets, which are practically the only dvds I own; favourites include Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. My personal favourite Holmes), and, major guilty pleasure territory, Sharpe. I lately managed to watch the entire Pride and Prejudice series. You know, the one with Colin Firth. I don't know if my precipit...

Cake and Cordial: October 2010

Friday, October 29, 2010. London Calling, part 2! I’m sorry if you thought that you had been abandoned by us in the past few months, you would be forgiven for thinking so. We have not disappeared, but have both been going through some major life changes. On my part, this involved a move to London, England. Home of red telephone boxes, double decker buses, pie and mash shops, and y’know, the Queen. Seriously, their chicken soup tastes like your Grandmother’s homemade recipe) really is a dream-come-t...

Cake and Cordial: Songs To Feel A Bit Sad To
http://cakeandcordial.blogspot.com/2010/09/songs-to-feel-bit-sad-to.html
Friday, September 3, 2010. Songs To Feel A Bit Sad To. I have a post in the works about delicious, delicious food but in the meantime I've been procrastinating by making this mixtape for the the Poppytalk Mixtape Contest. I was also inspired by Sarah at Pink of Perfection's September mixtape. About her autumn melancholy. It got me thinking about how the sound of an anguished female voice somehow always gets to me, especially as the weather cools and cozy sweater season approaches. Posted by Gina Alderman.

Cake and Cordial: May 2010
http://cakeandcordial.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. The man I really want to be in the back of a car with. So has anyone else on this side of the Atlantic seen/tasted these new Walkers. There are very many places where Canada beats Ireland; the existence of brunch, great sourdough, more than say, 3, sushi restaurants in the entire country. But when it comes to the humble spud, we have it covered. My favourite potato based snack food is Tayto. In any case, Walkers, the same snack company which had Heston Blumenthal. And you know what?

Cake and Cordial: November 2010
http://cakeandcordial.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 5, 2010. Winter Warmers- Aromatic Pork Belly in Broth. This should definitely help banish the winter blues, and cure any sniffles that are beginning as we make our way into the colder months. It's gutsy and warming, but still feels light and fresh. This recipe was concocted for the Irish Foodies Cookalong. For November, the theme of which is Winter Warmers. The Cookalong is a lot of fun and a great way to showcase the brilliant Irish food bloggers. 1/2 tsp ground ginger. 1 tsp brown sugar.

Cake and Cordial: I Guess I've Got the Easter Blues...
http://cakeandcordial.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-guess-ive-got-easter-blues.html
Saturday, April 3, 2010. I Guess I've Got the Easter Blues. Do you recall the Dean Martin song “The Christmas Blues”. Well this Good Friday morning I awoke with what I can only explain as the Easter Blues. I'd ended up with no long weekend plans, and upon realizing this immediately slumped into a solid sulk. Easter is not the most important holiday on my calendar, but it was unusual to have no plans at all for this weekend of beautiful spring weather. It was making me feel lonely. Listening to the charmi...
