If you look closely you can see bags of Maseca masa harina. For €14. That's $21. We actually found some "maize flour" at a Chinese grocery of all places for much cheaper, but the existence of actual masa harina in Dublin is very exciting. I asked one of the workers if I could find dried chiles in Dublin and he drew me a map to a gourmet grocery that has "everything to make mole." We think it's Fallon and Byrne on Exchequer St. We'll find out soon. Very soon.

Everything to make mole
We finally went to the Epicurean Foodhall off Abbey St. tonight after some last minute Christmas shopping. We had heard that there's a Mexican place there. It's called Taco Taco, and for Ireland it's pretty authentic. We had a couple molletes (Mexican sandwiches) which were pretty tasty, but the most exciting discovery was a rack of Mexican foodstuffs.

I had seen The Celtic Women on PBS TV and thought they were in the Felix Theatre in Dublin, but now I am sure it was the Helix. Sounds like fun.
We just had the famous Chick-a-Dilly #10 after a glorious church service. Today's service stressed ringers and orchetra, which did a beautiful "Cristmas Eve Sarajevo." The choir did a classical medley of Handel's Messiah, which I have told everyone was first performed in Dublin before London, or wherever.
We hope Mama Joy's cornbread dressing recipe is a hit Christmas day.
