sprout and guacomole salad

Choosing Raw’s Sprout Salad with Smoky Guacomole as prepared and munched by I Can Has Cook? It’s been quiet around these here parts of late, the reasons for which there are two. 1) I had a little bit of a cold there over the weekend which Niall kindly brought home with him from Oxegen.  So […]

salad from side

Lentil, red onion, cherry tomato, chorizo and (paprika dyed) feta cheese salad We had bought some Chorizo for our ‘Baked’ Haddock yesterday, in the knowledge that we would probably get around 3 meals out of the 225g M&S packet.  Which is good, as it set us back nearly €5.00. This Chorizo is made in Spain […]

swag

That blog title is terribly misleading, I apologise.  The Free Stuff I’m referring to was all that lovely gear you see in the pic above and unfortunately I am not doing a snazzy give-away for you, my lovely readers.  Sorry!

Tasty lunch to bring in to work – WIN. Not only am I big fan of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage TV programme,  I also enjoy his recipes in The Guardian on Saturday.  Twas he who introduced me to the wonderful world of Arancini, after all.

finished salad

After an unexpectedly late (and rather too much fun) night mid-week at The State Social in Shebeen Chic, we were in need of some severe health intakes come the weekend. I had picked up some lovely beetroot in the Temple Bar Market last Saturday and it needed eating.  I’d had Lucas Hollweg’s recipe for Beetroot, […]

gutter in snow

It’s amazing how snow makes everything look so pretty.  What was once just a dirty old gutter and a wall with the worst graffiti ever are transformed into glistening icicle fuelled wonderments of beauty. Of course, snow makes the commute home less appealing, if at all possible.  We’re having at least one friend stay on […]
