Update Task #3

Our task from the last meal was to read four books - The Princess Bride by William Goldman, Carry on Jeeves by PG Wodehouse, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Blessed Miguel Pro by Ann Ball. We completed the task and talked about the books during the meal, which led to some lively discussion. While a new task was discussed, nothing was finally agreed.

Task #1 update and Task #2

Update on Task #1 - finding out entertaining alternatives to eating out that we would all enjoy.

Result: Broken Wing looked into horse riding, spa treatments and cookery courses in the Castle Leslie estate, Monaghan. Dancer looked into movies at the local cinema. Raphaela looked into Powerscourt, Straffan Butterfly farm, the Irish National Stud and plays. No conclusion was made on whether to take up any of these outings.

Task #2 - Before our next meeting, each member of Stardust Ratatouille has to do something new and different that they have never done before.

Task #1

Not only are we four adventurous food critics, we also set ourselves tasks at each of our gastronomic outings that have to be completed before our next meal together. For our inaugural meeting our tasks are to look into alternative outings that we can go on together as a group - such as plays of interest, concerts, movies, ornate gardens and other entertainments that discerning people like ourselves might be interested in. Check in after our next meal to see how we get on.
