Guinness Ice Cream Float

This post is four days in lieu of St. Patrick's day...it's better late than never right? Although, to be fair, the bottle shops were totally sold out of Guinness until yesterday and so I couldn't have done this post prior.

Plus, I spent the day in Hyde Park drinking the Guinness that was on tap at the St Patrick's day celebrations. I saw sandwiches with black pudding and a fried egg on top which I really wanted to try but the queue was way too long. I settled instead for a German Bratwurst smothered in Sauerkraut and mustard. I don't think the organisers could find many Irish food vendors here in Sydney since I saw mostly Chinese, German, and Turkish cuisine. The energy of the place however, was just buzzing...thanks in part to a band called Good & Lively, and some traditional Irish dancers.

Why Would I Buy The Nespresso Pixie?

I used to own a basic espresso machine and after a few months of buying coffee beans, grinding them up, and packing the grinds properly into the machine, I got tired of it. Sure the coffee was delicious but I didn't always want to go through all the hassle. Call me lazy, but I suspect most people feel the same way.

An afternoon drink of Pimms

Pimms is a wonderfully refreshing and secretly alcoholic drink. Favoured by the English, it is often drunk on Sunday afternoons. Perfect for sunny picnics or even in the garden at home. Simply add your favourite fruit to 1 part Pimms and 3 parts lemonade. 

Try not to drink too much!
