Midweek rambling

During the week I usually spend a lot of time typing out stuff relating to insurance claims and I don't post but I'm sat at my desk this morning drinking my Kaph Blend 3FE coffee and having my new Belvita Tops for breakfast and have realised I never posted about food at the weekend. 

Up very early Saturday morning. First stop was Bretzel Bakery on Lennox Street. Wanted to get bread rolls for dinner that evening. Bought two mini ciabatta and some healthy brown rolls. Also ended up buying an éclair and a toffee apple sponge :) 

These went very nicely with our coffee on Sunday. Sean went to get his hair cut and I went for a little ramble in the sunshine before heading to Kaph on Drury Street for coffee. 

While I was trying to decide what beans I wanted to buy I ordered an Americano and one of their Madeleines that I find always go very nicely with their coffee.

 For a change it was completely empty! 

I took a seat down the back of the shop which meant I could look along the length and people watch in between checking Twitter, Facebook and Yelp (Just joined and was looking at places to go in Munich and Berlin next month) Still hadn't made my mind up about the coffee so I ordered a second Americano and then decided on the Kaph blend. They offered to grind the beans for me but seeing as we have the machine at home that does this when we're ready to make coffee I declined. Having an Aeropress version of it this morning and it is just lovely. The only thing wrong is the view of the cream wall in front of me :(  

Left Kaph  and met Sean. We went to Fallon and Byrne to pick up fresh chillies, red onion, barbecue sauce and sausages for the barbecue that evening (it was far too cold to actually eat outside though) We chose their chipolatas, chorizo sausages and chilli sausages which were yum. "The Beef" signage above their meat counter made me giggle… The stuff of cowboy's dreams and the girls are quite partial too, it seems! 

Back out into the sunshine and had to make a stop at The Cupcake Bloke on Coppinger Row (I know, sooo predictable!) 

New to choose from this week were Boston crème and vanilla cupcakes supporting the Yes Equality campaign… 

The Boston crème was deliciously moist and they didn't last that long - which is why there is not photographic evidence of the oozy centre. The vanilla cupcakes are €2 each and 50c from each sale is going to the Yes Equality campaign. Kept the vanilla cupcake until Monday to brighten up my evening. What a yummy way to show your support :)
