Make a cup with your hand and place it in your mouth fingernails upwards.
The food is rice, tomato-chili-sauce, chili-rubbed fish, sweet potato and fried green banana.
(Oh yeah… left hand. I’m left handed, so I wipe with my right… not eating with my right hand. Sorry…)
How Men Do Their Shaving and Bran-and-Currant Muffin Recipe
Image by Alex Slyadnev | Author of the Food & Chef
I shave once a month. Sometimes less. I was lucky in this respect, with a little hair on my face. I’m not going to be a happy owner of a beard and mustache, but at the same time I do not have a risk to be confused with a homo in the early morning in a supermarket queue.
Nevertheless, blunt r…

Dahl
Image by conall..
One of my new years resolutions this year was to put more recipes on Flickr. (that was actually a resolution for a few recent years but I didnt really do it as much as I intended) I used to put quite a few recipes on 5 to 10 years ago (and I still go back to them) but have def got less good at it.
the Dahl I made this evening was so good, I want to go back to the it and have instructions to replicate and am now glad I took a couple of pictures and took notes! I cant pretend it is authentic, but it works for me and is very easy to make with the stuff I keep in my cupboards. …and probably adaptable to the contents of other people’s cupboards
this makes about a ton – so plenty to freeze and get the repeated benefit of having made it.
ingredients:
450g Channa dahl (split chickpeas)
250g red lentils
4 decent size red onions
loads of garlic ( about 2 large garlic bulbs – i have such a home grown glut at the moment so I love using it for good stuff)
cooking oil
to taste:
Cumin seeds well ground in pestle and mortar
Mild chili powder (mine was home grown/made and I love using it)
Mustard powder
mild curry powder
black pepper
salt
turmeric (loads)
Rinse the lentils/channa well.
Cover in water plus 3cm
Bring to Boil and then simmer for 40 minutes (i do this in a cool oven in a cast iron cooker)
separately and in parallel, in a big frying pan, fry the onions well to proper browning point but stop there. then add the garlic and all the the spices and then just a minute or two later a splash of water to stop any serious garlic caramelisation and then cook more slowly for a while.
Combine the 2 pans – then leave in a cool oven (about 120 C) for a good hour (or two …or three if you have something to do).

Signorello Estate Winery, Napa Valley, California, USA
History of the Signorello Estate Winery:
Starting the Venture
Ray Signorello Jr. began his journey as winemaker and vineyard owner in the Napa Valley during the mid 1980’s. Ray, born in San Francisco, California, moved to Vancouver, Canada where the Signorello family continues to maintain a home. Ray divides his time between Napa, San Francisco, Vancouver and business related travel. Ray’s father, Ray Sr., initiated the vineyard project during the mid 1970’s by purchasing the 100-acre estate located on the Silverado Trail in the beautiful Napa Valley. Ray Sr. worked side by side with Ray Jr., establishing the winery’s reputation for excellence until his passing in the fall of 1998.
No Turning Back
Signorellos’ original plan was to grow quality grapes to sell to existing wineries, but the harvest of 1985 changed this plan into a new level of evolvement. The bountiful crop allowed Signorellos to custom crush the excess grapes. This opportunity demonstrated what fabulous wine their vineyards were capable of producing. The project continues to grow, as do the spectacular 42 acres planted in several different varietals. Ray’s continuing effort represents the invested energies that created this reality from a dream.
In 1986 the Signorellos began the second phase of the venture, this was the building of the main winery structure. This beautiful building is used for barrel storage, wine tasting and retail sales. Along with the building of the winery, wine production was expanded to include Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. By the end of the 1980’s the Signorello family was thoroughly committed to making wine as well as growing grapes.
The decade of the nineties proved to be pivotal for Signorello Estate. In 1990 the first planting of red varietals began on the property- Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah.
What brought the Signorellos to the Napa Valley was the romantic side of winemaking; growing grapes, working the land, and enjoying the wine country lifestyle of camaraderie, good wine and great meals. While the Valley lifestyle is a very real part of the business, there is a serious responsibility to making a dream become a reality, both father and son realized this fact early in the endeavor.
This venture was a dream; now it is reality.

MADE-Slow PRESENTATION OF QUALITY IRISH FASHION DESIGN – AVOCA HANDWEAVERS [FASHION SHOW AT THE RDS JANUARY 2018]-136186
Image by infomatique
Avoca Handweavers, now mostly known simply as Avoca, is a clothing manufacturing, retail and food business in Ireland. The company began in Avoca, County Wicklow and is the oldest working woollen mill in Ireland and one of the world’s oldest manufacturing companies. It is also Ireland’s oldest surviving business. Although commonly believed to have come from Wicklow, the family are from Sligo.
The mill on the banks of the fast-flowing River Avoca survives from at least 1723. Travel to and from the remote village was difficult and a barter system was used. The mill was used for grinding corn for bread and spinning and weaving wool.
In 1760 a Fly Shuttle Loom, capable of weaving up to 20 metres of cloth a day arrived. Workers, concerned about possible unemployment, resorted to burning some looms.
Three sisters, the Wynnes, inherited the mill in the 1920s and introduced colour. Avoca Handweavers tweeds was produced and exported, including for use by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli. The material was also used for a waistcoat for King George VI and baby blankets for the children of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1974, Donald Pratt, a solicitor engaged to handle the sale of the mill which now faced closure decided to buy it himself. Along with his wife, Hilary, a teacher, he set about getting Avoca Handweavers back on its feet. The Pratts began exporting handwoven rugs and throws to the UK and other countries. Avoca throws are still sold across the globe.
Managed now by two generations of the Pratt family, Avoca continues to develop with several large retail outlets around Ireland, including Powerscourt and Malahide Castle, and in Belfast. Many of these also have popular foodhalls & cafes attached as their food operations expand. The Avoca Café Cookbooks have proven to be popular bestsellers.
The company has a number of women’s clothing ranges which it sells through its own stores designed by Amanda Pratt, as well as wholesaling in Ireland and internationally. The best known of these is Avoca Anthology.
Avoca is also strongly associated with gardens and has several very rare trees in its Kilmacanogue grounds and one of Ireland’s most famous gardens at Mount Usher Gardens in Ashford, County Wicklow. The company employs over 600 people.
