It’s a grey, cold day In Dublin. I’ve been a homebody, taking my time with the usual routine of breakfast and reading/watching news, puttering around the house, doing laundry, etc. After signing up for the CMA prep course yesterday, I’ve received a few into emails to get me started with the programme, but I’m allowing myself a lazy weekend before starting in earnest next week. I’m feeling a bit scraggly since it’s been over a month since my last haircut right before Christmas, so this afternoon I set about trimming up my beard — a process I do manually with scissors, which takes awhile and makes a mess of the bathroom — but it feels much better once I’m done.
I haven’t been cooking anything interesting lately, but tonight I whip up some air-fried parsnip fries for a snack (the recipe calls for a touch of maple syrup) — they turned out really well! I only had a few leftover parsnips that had been languishing in the refrigerator, so it didn’t yield a big batch, but I would definitely make it again. In addition to ketchup, they’d probably go great with some aioli.
Until next time….
