Parsnips

I had started a little mini-series on the merits of various foods some time ago. Then a lovely email from the Bibliocook brought my attention to the excellent Eat the Seasons website, which already does the job!

You can sign up for email updates on what's good to eat right now and the site has lots of useful info on buying, storing and cooking it.

Right now, parsnips are it. My favourite root vegetable. Good stuff

Nua Amarach

People who know me think it's hilarious that I have my own country.

I think it's the way forward. We should each have an opportunity to run things for a bit!

Since I'm not allowed to get my hands dirty at the political coalface without a complicated process of nomination, election and at least a nod to democracy, I have to be content with a fairly rudimentary online game community.

Turns out it's a heck of a lot easier to discuss what 'they' are doing wrong with healthcare/education/crime in the pub or at the dinner table than it is to run things fairly and efficiently, even online. Who knew?

But things are a lot better these days in the Republic of Nua Amarach, and we're working on the government corruption issue. Trust me. I'm not a politician.
