Sunday Brunch #6

It’s Sunday all over again and, subsequently, time for Sunday Brunch. The dogs are walked. Breakfast may have been missed due to the recovery period needed for Friday night’s PPI Awards in Kilkenny and last night’s Blog Awards Ireland in Naas. A busy, craic-fuelled weekend has been had so far and it continues in the kitchen in about an hour’s time as I ruslte up some spicy meatballs for the in-laws-to-be.

While I get to cooking, you can get to reading. Here’s ten food articles and news items worth a read that you may have missed this past week for your sixth Sunday Brunch.

Got any plans for your own Sunday? If you’re in the neighbourhood, there should be meatballs hitting the table around 2.30pm though I can’t guarantee there’ll be any left! It’s also just shy of a week since Any Given Beer launched. If you can, give it a look at let me know what you think. Lovely to get another blog up and going (and there’s another one you’ll find out about tomorrow)!
