My Favourite Avoca Salad

I will be the first to admit ordinarily I cannot stand salads and I am not the biggest fan of vegetables. It is 100% my dad's fault I am like this, he used to hide cauliflower under my mashed potatoes as a kid and force me to eat it... I still despise cauliflower, even its smell. I was never one even as a child to eat fruit either, the odd apple or orange and if it was an apple it would be drowned in sugar, that was delicious. As I have grown older, I do eat more vegetables, more or less primarily for meal bulking especially when on a diet. On Weight Watchers you need to eat every vegetable under the sun so that is why you need to bulk out your meals with them. I am on WW right now, for 4th time in as many years. I have a purpose for it this year, I am my brother's best man in August so I have plenty of time to get trim and eat all of the vegetables.
At the moment I am obsessed with Avoca's salads, it is probably because I have been to their shop in Kilmacanogue twice ov…

Hello there,
Jesus I have gotten bad again at the old writing. I know why though, it is because it seems like everything is blooming on these past 2 months. You know that feeling where you would love two weekends back to back of doing sod all, I dream of those at the moment. There is no let up either, don't get me wrong I love being busy it is great, it serves my mind very well. I have two weddings upcoming and our holidays, something of which for the first time in my life I have not been obsessing about, the holidays that is. Generally by now I have the case out on the bed semi packed, yeah I love packing the case well in advance, I am that special person. I digress though, it is not that I don't want to go on holiday but more so because I have not had a chance to think about it.

As a result of the busyness and the introduction of our podcast "Meet The Dekortes" ( < cheap plug) I have not had a chance …

Friday, 19th of March 2010.
I woke up early, I think about 6.30am. I was actually not going to work that day I was going on a stag do to Prague in the Czech Republic for the weekend. I had never been to Prague before, I was pretty excited about it all as the group of lads were friends of a friend of mine. It was very cool to be getting to know people in Dublin at last as I had been living in the city 6 months and I was in need of making some friends. I have to be honest it was a fairly lonely time living in a big new city having come from Limerick, knowing very little people. I was still open to living in Dublin but I was struggling to live so far away from home, this was all pre Joanne also. Unbeknownst to me I must have been stressed by my situation, I didn't like my work either pre my current job which I am in 7 years. I digress, I got up out of bed to go to the toilet and to start getting myself ready to head to the airport. I finished in the toilet and just like that I exper…
