This weekend is the premier of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire movie. Last year I made Cookies for Katniss to mark the launch of the first Hunger Games movie. Then, I saw the movie and I was so impressed with how they represented all the pomp and ceremony of the Games – the costumes, the flames …
Apple Tarts (or apple pies) are serious business in Ireland. Most Irish people will claim that their mother or their granny makes the best apple tart. Both my grannies always made amazing apple tarts. I think the secret was lots of butter and apples fresh from the trees.
I love Halloween as a celebration. It’s a welcome distraction from cold, dark evenings and impending winter. All the bright colored pumpkins and spooky decorations bring some cheer while we are waiting to get ready for Christmas.
As the days are getting a bit colder and darker, I am hankering more and more for a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. No matter what kind of a day you are having, tea and a biscuit always seems to make the day better.
