A Little Welcomed Holiday

October 21, 2008 on 5:23 pm | In Ireland | No Comments

I was lucky enough to have the day off and it was sunny – all at the same time! The Gods were smiling on me today. I took a wonderful walk through the harbor in Dun Loaghaire, just north of the village where I live (south of Dublin). The Stena Lines ferry had already left for the day and the harbor was pretty quite. It was lined with sailboats, docked, waiting for a weekend of nice weather so they can be unleashed on Dublin Bay! Good luck with that.

On Monday, the 27th of October I am going to France for five days and visit some friends that I haven’t seen in 6 or so years. They have a mill in Burgundy that they remodeled. Can’t wait to see the changes. The mill is a four story structure with the wheel still intact. The terrace overlooks the river and that is where I plan to be for five days. I might get up to retrieve another bottle of wine, but I cannot think of too many other reasons…..I will certainly leave a posting – including pictures with all the details!

It is now 2 months into my trip (halfway)! It has been a great experience so far. I am planning some classes for after my return the first of January. As soon as I have the dates confirmed I will post them on my website, www.chefdarian.com
