As a person who’s been known to travel for food, it should come as no surprise that I’ve spent the last month and a half anxiously awaiting a shipment of crisps (aka potato chips to my fellow Americans) from Ireland. Yes, I love Taytos that much. To be fair, I’ve been slightly obsessed with Irish crisps since I lived in Chicago. An Irish buddy introduced me, later an Irish boss encouraged me, and then a few well-placed all things Irish shops helped keep my cheese & onion appetite relatively satiated for a few years. A trip to the Emerald Isle in April only served to rekindle my, ahem, burning desire…

This was my very first post. Pretty rough! Oh, how little I knew a year ago... I only know a little more today. Thank you to all of you who have followed me in this first year. XO
