Liane comes for a visit

Liane came for a visit this past week.

She spent a couple of days in Dublin, and then flew down to Cork. After a day in Kinsale we did this huge loop around the western Ireland for a couple of days (more on that later).

Not only did she bring cheese (lots of blue), she also brought confit (duck preserved in its own fat). She has this perfect way of getting rid of the excess fat, and crisping the skin in the oven. Patrick and Jamie REALLY like it - so much so that they are trying to find a source of the stuff in Ireland. Hopefully it's not too hard since it comes in a tin can and is easily shipped.
