Blackcurrant Popsicles

IT’S heaven to be able to eat outside in the evening.

Ok, the past week wasn’t brilliant but lily white bodies that haven’t been exposed to the Irish sun for over 10 years are glowing after the recent great weather and the local beaches resembled the Mediterranean, everyone having a jolly time, beach barbecues, picnics, sandcastles, ice-creams.

There’s been a mass exodus from the kitchen and some Irish firms are reporting a 70% increase in absenteeism… the lure of the beach and the sun lounger is irresistible and it’s difficult to spend too much time over a hot stove.
