Living on a pretty tight budget, we have managed to figure
out ways to save a few extra Euros here and there and one such way is buying
food at a grocery store. Lucky for us, the hostels we have been staying at have
fully equipped kitchens so we are able to actually cook warm food! (Yes, this
is a very exciting fact, and we may sound somewhat pathetic telling you this,
but if you were walking around in the cold, wet rain too you probably would be
just as excited about warm food.)
So after taking a free walking tour of Dublin and feeling
numb in our feet and hands from the bitter cold, we decided to cook pasta with
our new Australian friend named Hamish. It is cheap, delicious, and warm. What
more could you ask for? Off to the grocery store we went, picking out the
cheapest pasta, the cheapest sauce, some off the shelf tiramisu (we were having
an Italian meal, so although probably not a very authentic Italian dessert for
two girls on a budget it was quite a treat), and of course the bread (you can
absolutely never forget that!).
With our hands filled with food, we quickly went back to the
hostel to prepare because at this point we were getting a little hangry pants
and that is no good. The pasta was delicious and although starved so at this
point we probably would have eaten anything anyways we still think it was nice
to have cooked a meal. But if we are being completely honest, we must give most
of the props to Hamish, who was the main chef in this endeavor. Nevertheless,
when it was all said and done, we were quite full and happy people with
leftovers to spare :)
