Irish Story Telling

Spent an evening listening to a storyteller talk about the Irish History (especially the common folk), eating home style Irish food, hearing Irish folk tunes and speaking kindly of fairies. The link below gives detail on the evening's offering at Brazen Head Pub.

This is Christ Church Cathedral. Our dinner mates tried to attend mass there on Sunday and were turned away because the church is anglican and they were catholic. This is evidence that the rules are still restrictive here on certain issues.

This is the River Liffey that divides the city into the north side and south side. It rises and falls with the tides from the Ireland sea on the east side of the island.

I composited four photos together to assemble a view of The National Museum of Ireland. The Museum building was originally Collins Barracks. The interior is a large square with buildings on all four sides. Unless my info is wrong it housed the British army while they occupied Ireland.
Below is a link for more information on the clothing collection. It was closed on Monday and I was unable to see the exhibit. My bad luck. I will have to try on the next trip to Dublin.

This is lentil and nut loaf. It was savory and warm and served with a shredded carrot salad. I have no idea if it is Irish, but I want to find a recipe and try this dish at home. It was served at the National Museum of Ireland. We have had some great food at the museums we have visited.
