I was thrilled to see this in the current, “Hot 100” issue of Food and Wine:

21 – Best Ice Cream

Ben and Jerry have nothing on Sean and Kieran, the two Murphy brothers who have added “centre of ice cream making excellence” to Dingle’s attributes. Along with the flagship cafes they have there and in Killarney, Murphys Ice Cream has recently gone nationwide with their range of 500ml tubs, which includes the booziest rum raisin we’ve ever tasted.

It’s the second time we’ve made the “Hot 100” list, and we’re delighted!

There’s an article on us and the book in the Weekend section of today’s Irish Examiner. It’s written by the excellent Clodagh Mckenna and includes a couple recipes from the book. I’ll post a link if they put it on-line…

I know this is a bit late, but here’s the article (mostly an interview with my brother) in last week’s Sunday Times. Forgive me my crooked smile in the photo!

With Spring almost over, we’re still freezing here in Ireland. Who knows how long it will continue, and one does worry whether summer has been cancelled as well. Still, as you can see from the photo above, the lambs are out and frolicking about, and seeing them always fills me with joy. A warm day or two can’t be that far off…On a different note – for anyone interested, there’s an article in PC Live magazine about Irish bloggers who have managed bookdeals. Among those covered are Twenty, Fiona, Grandad, (and me!).

For anyone interested, I will be on Newstalk tomorrow (Thursday) around 11:30am talking about tasting ice cream. I think there will be someone on from Green and Blacks as well, so between the ice cream and the chocolate, it should be a sweet show…

Thanks to Declan Burke who was on Matt Cooper yesterday talking about books from bloggers (a rapidly growing bunch) and kindly gave Ice Cream Ireland and our upcoming book a mention.

Finally, this site has made the finalist shortlist for the “Best Blog” category at the Irish Blog Awards along with Bock The Robber, Maman Poulet, On The Record, Fatmammycat.com, Beaut.ie, Twenty Major, Gingerpixel, Irish Flirty Something, Grannymar. I’m thrilled to be among such an impressive bunch!
