Meat, Mince Pies, and Lots of Memories!

I never fully understood the concept of making a New Year's resolution. Why not make small goals continually throughout the year? But this year, after two weeks of dietary indulgence, I can see why so many people use the New Year as a time to cleanse and purge after all the holiday extravagance! That is exactly what I wanted to do! I couldn't put one more of those delicious mince pies in my mouth without the feeling of being sick!

My sister and her boyfriend came out from Seattle to visit me and L. Food, food, and more food would be the best way to describe their time here! My sister is a great cook, and I like to cook as well, plus the richness of the local Irish cuisine, the 4 of us indulged quite a bit! Needless to say, I am happy we are back to the normal eating routine, but sad to have them go back home! We were able to go up to Northern Ireland and fulfill two of my "Ireland Bucket List" destinations: The Giant's Causeway and Belfast. Check out some of my pics from their time here!
