Jerk chicken.

what started as a detox ended up in quite the opposite fashion...
point form perhaps??
1. Adrian and Sarah venture to Tesco in search of healthy happy food. Fruit and the like.
2. I LOVE TESCO!!
3. Paddy texts. Tequila is mentioned. It's all mahem from here.
4. We decide to roast a whole chicken. Having NEVER roasted before it all makes perfect sense.
4.5 A theme is needed of course.
5. Alma court CariibeanFest is born
6. The Chicken is to be Jerked. the tequila can ONLY be drunk out of halved coconuts and the Angel will be a Delight.
7. FANCY DRESS IS ESSENTIAL.
now this is where it goes pearshaped.
with the chicken safely marinated and in the oven, the 'dress is fancied' and ready to show off when Paddy arrives.
He is waiting in the hall, and I follow Adrian out with a leap and a Ta-Dah only to watch everyones faces drop as the door bangs shut behind me.
Balls.
I'm wearing just about everything I own, and a little more. Mom's apron, my new dress, flowers, the hat Una tried to steal fortnightly, all of my jewelry, shoes that look well but HURT like the dickens and pretty stripey socks. Aido is in a snorkle and mask, a Flava Flav clock and Hawaiian shirt combo with a wooly cap and a bit of gonzo in his eyes. The neighbors, needless to say, do NOT answer their doors to us.
Thankfully we had two cans of diet coke to tide us over.
AND
Thankfully the most expesive locksmith in the universe is on call, he arrives just in time to open our door, the chicken is PERFECT and happy times are had by all.
Honorable mentions go to Burco and her lovely family who helped to save the day HOURRAH!!



una and sarah - camera junkies

We had a lovely going away dinner the other night involving rakes of white wine, when the camera was pulled out....
funny stuff.

the Liffey descent....




Paddy did the Liffey Descent on Sat... 26 or so odd kilometers of paddling on a surprisingly sunny day. I got to sit at the finish line and drink Miller (yum)
They came 5th in their class Hourrah!!
(Their kayak is a just a little bit different from the one Dad made...)

RIP no. 3



She fought the good fight but eventually gave up the ghost....
I don't know if I'm emotionally ready for no.4 yet.
