Snack time

What do you like as a healthy snack?

I like to kid myself that these Kelkin chocolate rice cakes are healthy!

My sister and I are in the process of organising a gathering of Smart Cars in July in Dublin. The plan is to meet in the Phoenix Park for a tail gate party and then take a drive around the Phoenix Park in convoy of Smart Cars. For further information please click here.

If you know of any Smart Car owners, you may also like to direct them to this post!

In other Smart Car news, furniture makers Bo Concept have collaborated with Smart and created a range of furniture. See pictures below of some promotional material that came through my letter box this morning.

Spring cleaning

We have a lot glass on our house that gets VERY dusty. From the glass shelves in the bar to the glass stairs it all needs regular dusting. I got a new duster that attracts the dust - wow, what a difference. Rather than just moving the dust and spreading it, this cloth actually gathered it all up. I'm a convert to the microfiber cloth!

Here's a pic of Ciaran getting some cleaning action.

Cookery school

A brochure for the Donnybrook Fair Summer Cookery School was dropped to my house this morning. They are putting on a range of fantastic classes and I am very tempted to sign up for one or two.

In particular I like the Summer Buffet class. In this class you will "learn how to create the most amazing Summer entertaining food". You will be taught how to make dishes that you can prepare in advance and that will keep well. What a useful and practical class - it aims to "take all the hassle out of entertaining". Sounds good to me!!!

Other classes offered will teach you how to make macaroons (yum!), bread, Summer salads and lots more.

For more info have a look on their website www.donnybrookfair.ie
