I joke at least a couple of times a week about how I wish someone would invent teleportation already, but mostly in reference to being able to travel in general. But your post has given me a new reason to wish for it--so that I can teleport and try those apple hand pies! 🤩

Amazing! I've been wanting to go to Kasama for so long. Now I'm even more excited thanks to this post!

Wow! I gained several pounds just looking at these wonderful photos. If I ever get to Chicago again , this is where I’m heading.

Unique and fascinating find in Chicago! Thanks, Jolene! I love Ballymaloe. Stayed there many years ago and the bucolic setting, morning breakfasts of porridge drenched in cream, a must visit if you’re in County Cork!

Everything looks and sounds scrumptious! Nice to learn the meaning of their name. Thanks Jolene.

Black truffle croissant?? That’s enough to make me want to buy a plane ticket to Chicago! And the Ballymaloe Desserts book cover is something else. Phaidon books are always so gorgeous.
