Indian food!

Last night I hosted my first dinner party here in apartment 25. I was tons of fun to have some great friends over to eat some great food. It was my first attempt at cooking Indian food without my dad's help, and I think I pulled it off quite nicely. I followed a recipe of Jamie Oliver's with some minor adjustments. The recipe can be found here: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef-recipes/steak-indian-style-spinach-amp-paneer-sa

Sunshiny Days

So it's been way too long since I gave you all an update on my life. Here are a few highlights from the last month.

Pancake Day was quite the craic, I ate nothing but pancake all day. Three full meals and a midnight snack of just pancake. It was a good day indeed.

I took a trip to Scotland with my International Business class and had a great time!

After classes in Glasgow on Friday I headed off to Drymen, near Loch Lomond, with this dear soul:

We saw some lovely things such as Buchanan Castle:

And Loch Lomond:

We then headed to Stirling where we climbed to the top of the Wallace Monument

And then went to Edinburgh:

Great trip! I loved Scotland and definitely want to go back someday.

Some other happenings:
Several 21st birthday parties, St. Paddy's Day, and a Despicable Me themed dinner party!

Spring has finally come to Galway!!!

Connemara!!!

This past Saturday I got to go on a day tour of the Connemara area which included Cong and Kylemore Abby. It was lovely! Here are a few pictures from the day:

Really cool old monastery that we got to explore. Beautiful surrounding area too!
