They are predicting rain which would curtail our photography somewhat but hopefully there won't be too much.

That is one of those classy high end desserts that you hear about. It is amazing that all the flavors work in that thing. They are obviously thrilled with their flavor profiles and have to tell everyone about them..

. Usually things like that include a gastrique of some sort..

@JudyEv Ha, no worries. It's a culinary term. I had to look it up. It means carmelized sugar!

@JudyEv My grandson tried his hand at baking a cake. I had a ready cake mix pack with which he made the cake. He was so happy with the results that he is planning to bake another cake this week. My daughter will be sending him the recipe today and tomorrow I will go to the market to buy all the ingredients.

The white stuff is meringue. The lemon pickle didn't really tasted like pickle but had a strong lemon flavour.

@wolfgirl569 Fair enough. Restaurants there tended to list allergens on the back page then have symbols for the various items so you might have a cheesecake description and after it something like L, N, meaning it contains lactose and nuts.

Restaurants here are expensive and we thought that, once you converted the currency, Irish ones were similar in price or perhaps slightly dearer.

All of the items mentioned plus the cheesecake. That's a lot of dessert in one sitting! All those desserts got me in the mood to tell a corny joke: Walking home last night, I passed a slice of apple pie, an ice cream sundae, and a lemon cheesecake. I thought to myself, “The streets seem strangely desserted…”
