Slainte

There is something oddly otherworldly about eating in bars for lunch, especially since they're usually devoid of people. I didn't even know Slainte, one of our neighborhood bars, was open for lunch! But last night, as we were toasting a friend's birthday, the delicious smell of french fries wafted past me and my head whipped around to see a ginormous platter of buffalo wings and french fries move past. So we had to go for lunch today. The fish of the fish n' chips was a tad on the not-salty-enough side, but not so bad that we wouldn't go back.
