Bímid áiteannaí go coitanta a feiceáil go hiondúil ar feadh ár thuras ar thuascaint anois. Mar shampla, cheannaigh muid bolg silíní dubh agus cliabh sú talann ina margadh Ghleanntan Prúna ag imeall an cathair na Salainn ar dtús. Measaim go raibh siad so-bhlásta is fearr orm gan amhras.
Tá muid ag dul siopadóireacht go gróseara orgánach Duilleog Nua ina sráidbhaile na Felton in aice an gráig Sléibhe Hermon. Go nadúrtha, níl siopa fiorsaor ann. Mar sin féin, faigheann mo bhean a tí bia níos halainn gach uair ansin.
Is maith liom ag ól tae speisealta freisin. Ní raibh ábalta tabhairt ar ais bocsa Dilmah Síolónach ina margadh an samhraidh seo, ach níl creideamh go raibh sé a díolta chomh fada le mo bharúil sa lá atá inniu ann dóibh. Mar sin, thug Léna beirt bhoscaí tae Numi de dom.
D'ith muid taos araín géar de Bhaile Watson. Déannann sé leis rós Mhúire agus gairleog ann. Nílim dith a stópaidh ag ithe aran de sin, go cinnte.
Ar ndóigh, tá mé ag foghlaim faoi leanntaí áitiúlaí ansiúd. Fuair mé leann dubh leis min choirce ina Naomh Críos agus leann úll maith ag déanta ina gCalifoirnea agus Oregon. Inseoidh mé duit níos mó faoi ár leathanta saoire bheag an mí seo caite as Gaeilge an mí seo chugainn, is docha.
Food & Drink to the North
We paid another visit to Northern California recently. We drove to the city of Santa Cruz again. My family saw our loyal friends Bob and Chris who are living near that city.
We habitually see familiar places during our northerly journey now. For instance, we first bought a bag of dark cherries and a basket of strawberries in the market of Prunedale on the outskirts of the city of Salinas. I reckon that they are the tastiest for me without a doubt.
We go shopping at the New Leaf organic grocers in the village of Felton near the hamlet of Mount Hermon. Naturally, the shop's not dirt cheap there. All the same, my wife finds very lovely meals every time over there.
I like drinking special tea. I was unable to bring back Ceylonese Dilmah from this market, but I don't believe it may be sold there any more as far as I know nowadays. Therefore, Layne brought a pair of Numi boxed teas from there for me.
We ate a loaf of sourdough bread from Watsonville. It's made with rosemary and garlic. I have no wish to stop eating a loaf of that, for sure.
Of course, I learned about local beers up there. I got dark beer (stout) with oatmeal in Santa Cruz and good cider made in California and Oregon. I will tell you more about our little holiday last month in Irish later this month, I hope.
