I really wanted Square Eyes to experience fresh-out-of-the-oven Chocolate Chip cookies. So I went up to the Tesco (the absolute worst Tesco in Dublin is the one closest to the...

The thing is, when you move continents, it's hard to know what brand to buy. In New Mexico I knew what kind of bread I liked (I can't even remember the...

Goodbye Walgreens! There are three slightly seedy Walgreens Pharmacies in Santa Fe. Unlike Boots, American pharmacies sell other

Yesterday's theme was this type of misunderstanding; after leaving Newgrange, we were driving through a roundabout near Dundalk when we saw a handpainted sign (in pink paint, no less) that read “Dublin Queens Dry and Fluffy.” After the turves-turds episode, I wasn’t going to assume anything. Square Eyes, who is a lot more practical than I am, figured that a Dublin Queen is a type of potato, so I accepted that explanation. However, an extensive google search (Dublin queens, potato varieties, Irish potatoes, etc.) turned up nothing. So I'm sticking to my theory - that this summer a super-fun drag-queen festival is being held in Dundalk. And now I'm not convinced about the turds, either.
