After a wonderful time in the Cork office, where we enjoyed barmbrack and sipped tea, a colleague and I decided to stop for hot chocolates at the Irish classic, Butlers Chocolate Café.

We continued chatting about work, leadership, and career. It's nice to chat with someone smart.
Happy Thursday! I’m officially counting today as Day 1 of my vacation, with yesterday feeling more like "Day 0." Since my hubby is attending his conference all day, I decided to take the train to Cork, where my company has an office. It was a great excuse to meet the team and join their weekly team lunch!
I specifically requested a Spiced Beef Sandwich — after all, Gemini said it was the one thing I had to try in Cork!

The team decided to bring me to the historic and touristy pub, The Oliver Plunkett, which, thankfully, seems to serve the Spiced Beef Sandwich year-round.
The sandwich itself is reminiscent of a Reuben, but it’s surprisingly lean, without being overly salty or fatty. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It tasted like a proper deli sandwich, and I loved that it didn't feel processed or overly dressed. It was the perfect Cork welcome.
