Stairway to heaven

Well, not that far should my stone steps go, just up to the veg garden, and I hope nobody will reach heaven through my stairs.

Its work in progress and therefor not safe.
First i need to get rid of roots, than place the stones in a good level and make sure the ground is well prepared until I can use cement.

If you have read my blog carefully in the past you might recognize that this stones are now recycled the second time.

Funny Friday: Future of DIY

Is that the future of DIY ?

Arent the simplest things the best ?

After cooking my potatoes the past 2 years nearly always the same way (first on water, than in pot with butter) I just rediscovered that there is much more, and better ways out there to serve potato's.

Out of the blue, and without having looked at a recipe, i just cut some into small wedges which I than put into some breadcrumbs and curry powder.

Than i just fried them in the pan until nice golden brown, Just delicious, I tell yeah !

Sometimes the simplest things are the best !

The secret skipper

A great skipper is hard to find, and once you have found one, you should keep it secret.
Kind of that way I felt when i have met Tom in Union Hall on the last company fishing trip I organized.
I wouldn't tell anyone who my great skipper is when I was showing pictures about my fishing trip, because i was afraid he will be completely booked out on the weekends so I wont be able to hire him.



He is pretty booked anyway, and the summer is nearly over, so here is my secret, my favorite skipper is Tom. End of September I will organize the last trip for the season, if you want to join in let me know.

Good news from Ireland

Well at least for all German speakers, Harald is back with his blog which is written in German and comes out of the heart of Ireland.

I think i have followed now Harald's posts since nearly 2 years and was kind of shocked when he announced earlier this year to stop with his blog.

Today the good news, my fellow Austrian is back on line and starts again with his blog @ http://irlandlive.com 

Good News ! Harald I have missed you too !

Camping Equiptment

Its interesting, I just compared the offerings from Argos, with the offers Outdoor specialists have, and also checked in town in the local tackle shop.

Well, the result is not surprising Argos is on that Camping Gaz cooker cheaper. 2 Euros.
But than, with Argos i need to collect the item in Cork, i dont get a huge other selection of camping equipment, and also there is no expert to ask.

So i believe I rather shop locally than, or if the local shop doesnt have what i need shop online from a Outdoor specialist.

Fruits, Sophies 5 a day

I am a proud daddy, especially since my 9 month old daughter is so clever, as you can see on this picture, to know that fruits are good for her.
So I want to share with you a recipe how my wife prepares every Sunday Sophie's fruit portions for the week.

Ingredients:

2 Apples

2 Pears

2 Nectarine and/or  a few strawberries:

Peal all fruits and place them in a pot with  bowling water (not much water, just around 9 big spoons) Leave it cook for 10 minutes on middle heat. Then add the semolina, and leave it another 10 minutes.

 

Mix it all, and that’s it, you have some dessert ready for your baby for at least one week!!!

And if there are no more fruits at home, send Daddy out to buy more :-)
