Do I have to sell my soul?

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:34:23 GMT

In anticipation of the drafting of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill, I wrote to Taoiseach Enda Kenny. I proffered my opinion that, since the issue could be a matter of conscience for some of our elected representatives, the Bill should be the subject of a free vote in its passage through the Dail. I received the usual two-line acknowledgement from his secretary.

Flavour Times

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:32:59 GMT

Rain or shine, because the clock tells us it’s the summer, we can’t help but pull out and dust down our dreams of country picnics, lazy days at the beach, eating in the garden and barbecuing all round us until the end of August. Needless to remark the sun shines high in the cloudless sky throughout those dreams. Admittedly it only happens perfectly in our heads, and the reality is that many different factors prevent us from manifesting these lovely thoughts. We are held to ransom by the elements day to day throughout the season. Then of course the lovely shiny haired, polite and well behaved children who attend the perfect barbecue in your might just be a small rampaging mob with an appetite for destruction akin to Genghis Khan. The garden in your fantasy with the manicured lawns and the furniture filled patio might not match up with the actual view from your kitchen window and that magnificent out door cooking grill station with the control knobs of the Star Ship Enterprise might in fact be a disposable charcoal filled foil tray from Dunnes. But don’t despair, because we do have control over the most important element of the event and that’s the food. Using a little culinary skill we can elevate our parties and gatherings via our taste buds and even the most cynical will go home in the knowledge they were at a great event.
