I had a date with the other half on Friday: pasta and a movie... problem was, I had no pasta! It was the middle of the week and I couldn't get to a market.
I feel I must start this post by apologising for the very late update on what I now call my Market Challenge. A couple of weeks ago I posted an entry on the blog called "Taking the Super out of the Market" where I pleadged to go cold turkey on my supermarket shopping for three full months and give Dublin's many food markets and local shops a go, however like Julia Child used to say (anyone who saw the Julie&Julia movie should get this joke): one should never make apologies.
Ok, confession time: as a foodie and self confessed food shopaholic, it may surprise you to learn that I hate regular grocery shopping. I do it every two weeks, three if I can stretch it. I leave work and go directly to my local supermarket and do the round.
