This time last year Mr. HNN and I had just returned from our week-long trip to Ireland. The only reservations we made the entire trip were for the flight and the car; there would be no other reservations. We decided to just get in the car and drive wherever the damp winds of Ireland took us. […]
St. Patrick's Day
Guinness Shepherds Pie
