...first, Beltane, a historic festival in May, seemed a fitting choice. Formals are in May! Indeed, Beltane is an ancient Gaelic celebration that occurs on the first of May.

Dunster is hosting in their courtyard this night as well. The theme of this year's formal is Beltane, which appears to be some Gaelic festival. It precipitated this disclaimer from the Dunster HoCo yesterday...
...early proposal for a Maze Stadium, which would host both Protestant-favored sports such as soccer and rugby and predominantly Catholic games like Gaelic football and hurling, received cross-party support at first, but is now likely to be scrapped for financial reasons.

Its signature sandwich, the Monte Cristo, was a surgeon general's worst nightmare: "A delicious combination of ham and turkey, plus Swiss and American cheeses on wheat bread. Lightly battered and fried until golden. Dusted with powdered sugar and served with red raspberry preserves for dipping." You have...
