Nothing wrong with those, they're yummy.
I've had meat-eating friends tasting them and saying they're better than the real thing. Mind you, they might have been trying to be polite, but that would be out of character for them
I've had home-made pizza last night, with my favourite toppings : Roasted onions, mushrooms, pepper and garlic, and some chard (cause I don't like the slimyness of spinach, but chard tastes very similar)... heaven on a plate, if I say so myself

Made a hotpot with wok-strips (can't remember the brand name, I got them in the Quay Coop in Cork, they don't work at all for anything Asian, but actually taste like yummy sausages), carrots, turnip, caramelised onion in a red wine and veggie stock gravy with rosemary, thyme and some bay leaves, with potatoes on top.
If anybody could give me any tips or hints on how to get the layer of potatoes nice and soft and crispy brown on top, I'd be eternally grateful. Mine always end up a bit dried-out and charred...
But the rest was very yummy indeed0 -

I had a quick dinner: sautéed some onions, added: hot water, bit of arrowroot, bit of stock powder, salt, butter beans, peas and some rehydrated seaweed (Dilisk). Hit the spot and not heavy at all I am quite inspired after watching Prainne (of the Seaweed Kitchen) do a demo at the Rude Health Fair. 0

i was feeling energetic [and in need of protein!] after my swim in seapoint, so i whipped up a frittata. ridiculously easy, it is from the "cooking with aunty sarah" portion of the good food magazine, as are most of my main courses!!!
and a lemon drizzle cake, bit bold, but quite yum. ha ha the photo;s a bit spacey, think it's the light bouncing off the lime zest in the icing!!!

was it "runny" or thick? if that makes sense! I would like to try seaweed, and this sounds like an easy way to do it0 -
It was... thick, I guess. No wait, maybe somewhere in between. Either way, it definetly is much much thicker than water - you know you have added enough when the sauce loses its watery consistency If it is too thin you just add more arrowroot. I did 4 heaped tsp of arrowroot in cold water/milk, added to the dish last time I made it for 4 people. You need to add the arrowroot to cold liquid first, then toss the lot into the hot water/sauce starter.
Yeah, Prainne was saying how many nutrients and minerals were in seaweed at the Rude Health Fair. I thought it couldn't do any harm to get some of them in me! She recommended using Alaria (aka Atlantic Wakame) as it is really healthy and has a very mild taste. Chop it up a bit when it is dry and 're-hydrate' in cold water for a few minutes before you add it to your meal. She even threw it in a smoothie and gave out samples for us to try. I would have never thought!
Oh, and good on ya swimming in Seapoint! It's been a few years since I did that. I also remember whacking my foot under the water and I didn't notice how I'd been cut until I was out of the water and my feet weren't frozen anymore. Ewwww! Bad day/week that was!! 0 -

You can indeed get the seaweed your usual health food stores or there is an Irish store online. Cheap enough too It's such a funny ingredient. (Some recipe ideas for the seaweed in the link for anyone looking for ideas.) 0
