hmmmm St. Martin to the rescue and a swiss roll
My new technique since we are obsessed with Lisbon.
A defeat in the referendum but a triumph in the kitchen. My first swiss roll!!! I played this video while I rolled.
Mine has lemon curd so not as yummy looking as hers, but the boys requested it, and I exist to serve..
NOW, I’m wondering what Michael Martin will do.
The Indo gives him a glowing report today.
When I met him on Q&A I was most impressed , but I am ridiculously impressionable so that doesn’t count for much. But I did think he was smart, and crafty. Which could mean he is an FF leader sooner than Cowen might like, but also perhaps the one who can pull the game out of the fire in Brussels.
If any of his minions read this blog, and for all we know Crewser may be such a minion, or not even a minion, but more! I think he shouldn’t shake in his boots with the other foreign ministers. He can empathise all he wants BUT the people MUST be listened to.
Can he pull it off? Let’s hope so…or we’re toast…
Update: McCreevy (who didn’t exactly help) is leading with that line..
“EU Internal Market Commissioner Charlie McCreevy has said Ireland should not apologise for its No vote in last week’s referendum.
Mr McCreevy said the Lisbon Treaty referendum was a democratic process in which issues were debated.
“The Irish people decided to vote No and that has to be respected by the other 26 countries,” he told RTÉ radio today.
Mr McCreevy said the whole construct of the EU is that decisions are arrived at by consensus. “It was clearly understood that this treaty had to be ratified by all 27 member states”.
