Overdue Pics from Cork, London, & Ring Of Kerry

Hey Readers!

I finally got my computer working again!! So I finally was able to post those pics from my friend’s visit in Cork, London, and the Ring of Kerry. Enjoy!! Anywho, nothing really to report this week. I had a free weekend so I spent most of it hitting the books working on my thesis proposal. I will be overjoyed when it’s done. I also had a Pancake Bake-Off with some of my international friends on Saturday. This idea came from a few months ago when it was what we call Mardi Gras in America but what Europeans call Pancake Tuesday. It’s the day before Ash Wednesday and back in the old days, families would be fasting on ash wednesday so they couldn’t eat eggs, flour, milk. They would get together and make pancakes to use up those ingredients and it’s now a tradition to make pancakes the day before ash wednesday. The European style pancakes were a lot different than the American ones. They were thin, larger, and eaten with nutella, chocolate, or just lemon and sugar. I introduced them to chocolate chip pancakes and maple syrup which they liked but noted were spongy and a bit too sweet haha. I couldn’t think of a better cultural exchange than through the medium of pancakes!

Going to Edinburgh this weekend with some friends so look out for that post next week. Until next time,
