Snap out of The Sugar Trap Stable blood sugar - the key to optimum health You probably already know that stabilising your blood sugar will go a long way in preventing insulin resistance and diabetes, but did you know that it can completely transform how you look and feel? Balancing blood sugar means an end to to the dreaded 2pm slump, effortless weight loss, stable mood, improved concentration, boundless energy and beautiful skin. Here are some tell-tale signs that you have a blood sugar imbalance: z Energy dips throughout the day z Sugar cravings z Weight loss resistance z Excessive hunger z Irritability or mood swings z Regular headaches or migraines
We have a lovely hormone that comes to the rescue: insulin. Insulin helps the body absorb and process sugar effectively, but the excess is stored as fat! When this cycle happens over and over again, our cells become tired and stop listening to insulin. This leads to insulin resistance, an early warning sign of diabetes. Lean people that can eat whatever they want without gaining weight tend to be insulin sensitive. However, the majority of people aren’t so lucky. Here’s where the mineral chromium can help. Chromium is a trace mineral that balances blood sugar levels and helps insulin carry glucose to cells where it is used for energy. Our bodies depend on an adequate intake of chromium to maintain a normal metabolism and to store fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
z Waking in the middle of the night
Chromium and weight loss
When we eat a diet that’s high in refined carbohydrates, we buy ourselves a ticket to the blood sugar roller-coaster with nobody at the brake switch.
How can chromium help stimulate weight loss? Chromium enhances the activity of insulin, the hormone that carries sugar to the cell before it can do damage to vital organs or be converted to fat.
Chromium also targets one of the primary causes of weight gain: fluctuating blood sugar levels. When you eat sugars or refined carbs, insulin levels skyrocket, causing your body to stockpile fat. Due to our depleted soils and processed foods, it is difficult to get sufficient amounts of dietary chromium. Supplementing with chromium helps to regulate blood sugar and keep your body from hanging on to stubborn fat. In this same way, chromium is thought to control food cravings. Once you have high blood sugar, you become stuck in a vicious cycle: high blood sugar causes you to crave carbohydrates and simple sugars in large quantities. By stabilising blood sugar, chromium helps keep these cravings at bay. How chromium helps with weight loss and insulin resistance: z Helps combat sugar cravings z Helps regulate blood sugar z Increases the insulin signal z Helps metabolise carbohydrates, proteins and fats z Helps combat fatigue and hunger
Risk of dietary deficiency The more sugar and refined carbohydrates you eat, the more likely you are to be deficient in chromium. Consumption of sugar increases the amount of insulin your body must release into your blood stream, therefore increasing the amount of chromium that is used and ultimately excreted in your urine.
What to look for in a chromium supplement? Always choose an organic chromium source. EFSA (The European Food Safety Authority) has confirmed that this type of chromium is absorbed up to 10 times better than synthetic sources such as chromium picolinate. Organic chromium is the safest, purest form to supplement with.
5 ways to increase insulin sensitivity z Have oily fish 3 times a week z Avoid omega-6 oils z Sweeten meals with cinnamon z Reduce stress z Take an organic chromium supplement

Fake a safe tan
NATURAL BEAUTY: GLYCERIN: GLYCERIN is well known for its many uses for skin care. Glycerin on skin works as humectant - it attracts moisture on to your skin. It has many other benefits for skin and beauty care. It can stimulate our skin cells to rejuvenate them, and therefore is used in many skin care products, such as soaps, body lotions and moisturizers, body scrubs, face packs and face masks, as well as hair shampoos and conditioners. Glycerin, also called glycerol, can be used on all types of skin including oily skin. It is used to treat many oily skin conditions, like acne, skin infections, wrinkles and fine lines. And if you have dry skin on your face, you can apply glycerin topically on to your face to increase and lock in moisture on the skin to cure the dryness. It gives you moisturised and cleansed skin, without any side effects.

WE ALL want the perfect way to achieve a natural healthy bronzed look. All around the world, tanners are switching off their sun beds, throwing out their sun tanning creams, avoiding the harsh sun and converting to tan products. Tan is applied by either a trained professional or by yourself with the objective being; no dirty patches, streaking, orange hands, premature ageing and no UV skin damage. Just a seamless all over body tan! We don’t ask for much. New and innovative tan products now have added sun screen with UVA and UVB protection. Some SPF tanners also
contain tan enhancing ingredients that make your skin appear darker faster and so lessen the time you need to spend in the sun. Exfoliating before application will give you an even tan. Remember, with SPF tanning products as soon as you wash it off, you no longer have any sun protection. Never forget, Every Body is Beautiful. I would like to hear some of your stories. If you have any questions about anything beauty based you think I can help you with. Please do contact us at emer@waterfordmail.ie. I’m looking forward to hear from you.
GLYCERIN DO’S AND DON’TS • Before you use glycerin directly on your face, dilute it with water. Best to use rose water instead of water. • Do not apply too much of glycerin and / or for longer period. This will overhydrate your face. • Wash off any excess glycerin before you go outside. Otherwise the stickiness will make it easier for dust and pollution to collect on your face.
GOLDEN CHARMS Chanel Soleil Indentite Perfect Colour Face Self-Tanner SPF 8 Golden 50ml. Self-tanning face care that gives a natural-looking tan, as if you had just spent a week in the sun. The complete formula allows for a gradual, natural and uniform tan. Price: €37, from Boots
SUNKISSED GLOW Olay Total Effects Touch Of Sunshine Light Sunkissed Glow Day Moisturiser SPF15 50ml is Olay’s first ever anti-ageing and tanning product in one step. It gives your skin an even, naturally healthy looking sunkissed glow that builds over time. Price: €21.99, from Boots

BY THE time you’re ready to start wedding dress shopping, you’ve probably amassed a pretty nice-sized wish list about your dream gown. Most bridal shops will only let you book an hour-long appointment. And, while one hour is plenty of time to try on dresses, if you can narrow down your options before stepping foot in the dressing room, you’re in for a much more pleasant, laid-back shopping experience. One easy way to limit your options is to choose a silhouette that will highlight your best-loved assets and conceal your lessfavourable traits. To start, figure out which of the five featured body types best defines your figure: Petite, plus size, busty, hourglass or lean and straight. And remember, you may not fit squarely into one category — most people don’t! Take Kim Kardashian: She’s petite, busty and has (insane) hourglass curves. And, her wedding dress (the Givenchy Haute Couture one she wore most recently to marry Kanye West) with its sheath silhouette, modest neckline and waist-baring cut-outs, was the perfect complement to her shape. Along with finding the right gown for your body type, there are a few other things that can help make your wedding dress shopping experience as easy as possible. First, trust your consultant and don’t be afraid to try on gowns he or she suggests that fall outside of your traditional comfort zone. Also, shop with a supportive crew! Miss Negativity does not deserve a sacred spot on the “yay-or-nay” team. And finally, do your makeup and hair. It will be much easier to imagine wearing one of these gowns on your wedding day if you don’t look like you just rolled out of bed.

ID YOU KNOW that each year, in a hard water area, the average family home will use water containing 154lbs (70kg) of scale. If left unchecked, this mountain of limescale can cause serious – and expensive damage to your home plumbing and appliances, kitchen and bathroom fittings too. The Carbon Trust estimate that just 1mm of limescale in water pipes can increase energy consumption by 7%. With utility bills set to rise for the foreseeable future, this represents a significant cost to the average family home. Your household plumbing becomes increasingly inefficient, which makes heating your water extremely expensive. For example, a boiler with just 5mm of scale takes an extra 4 hours to supply the average home’s hot water – 90 minutes is all it should take! And, of course, this limescale finds its way into your household appliances too. Just take a look into most kettles and the evidence is there for all to see. The furred up heating element, the heavily stained inside and the nasty flakes of scale which find their way into your morning cuppa. Yes, you can buy a new kettle for less than a tenner, but washing machines and dishwashers are much more expensive to replace. Limescale build-up reduces the lifespan of the appliance and increases the likelihood of a breakdown. And who couldn’t do without the expense of calling out a plumber these days? Even if you ignore the hidden dangers lurking in your water system, physical evidence of limescale damage is all too evident throughout your home. In the kitchen, taps, tiles and stainless steel surfaces all bear the hallmarks of limescale damage. Evidence can be found on your pots and pans and, unless your dishwasher has just been installed, you will find tell tale water spots and stains on justwashed glasses and cutlery too. In bathrooms and WCs, toilets, taps and tiles are dulled with scale damage, and the once-sparkling sink and shiny shower enclosure are almost impossible to keep clean for any length of time. Even freshly washed clothes feel rough to the touch, and tiny scale particles can contribute to incidences of dry, irritating skin for yourself and family members. New home builders and renovation companies are waking up to the damage limescale can cause, and the cost implications of leaving it unchecked. What’s the point in investing in that sparkly new kitchen or bathroom, only to see the shine come off within months, thanks to the build-up of limescale.
T
HE GOOD NEWS is that limescale can be permanently removed from your home quickly and easily, using a system that can pay for itself in the first 18 months. After that, the significant savings are yours to keep... year after year! A whole-house Gold Series Water Softener System from EWT provides real cost savings in terms of service, maintenance and replacement of water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines and showers, and also extends their life expectancy. SAVE MONEY, TIME AND WATER! Independent research on the benefits of EWT’s Gold Series System shows it can pay for itself in a matter of months. A lifetime of softened water will help you save time, water and money – up to €600 annually on detergents, heating and appliances

INDEPENDENT STUDY: “Softeners are among ‘very best’ household energy savers – ‘green benefits’ to water heaters, appliances and showerheads” LISLE, Illinois—EWT Water Softeners can save significant amounts of money and energy in the home, a major new study by the independent Battelle Institute has revealed. Softeners help preserve the efficiency of water heaters and major appliances, and keep showers and taps unclogged, the report found. In the study, dishwashers and washing machines were operated for 30 days and 240 completed wash cycles on soft and hard water sources. The units using soft water were almost completely free of any water scale build-up. Units using hard water showed the need for deliming and cleaning due to the build-up of scale and deposits.

The Knife That Killed Me
The gardens at Mount Congreve, Waterford, consist of around seventy acres of intensively planted woodland garden and a four acre walled garden. The owner, the late Mr Ambrose Congreve, was inspired by Mr Lionel de Rothschild’s exceptional garden at Exbury in Hampshire, England. It was here that his interest in gardening was nurtured and he became infected with a passion and enthusiasm for plants such as Rhododendrons, Magnolias, Camellias and indeed many other floras from every continent in the world. Visit: www.mountcongreve.com for more information.

App of the week
Sketchat (iOS) Sketchat is exactly what it sounds like, equal parts chat and sketch. Although the idea is by no means new, it’s implementation here is subtly different than what’s come before. It wastes less time looking for certain colours, stickers, or whatever, and instead tries to replicate the old pen and paper days of old. There is something strangely more intimate about receiving a drawn picture or written note instead of a text message.

Movie of the week
The Defence by Steve Cavanagh
A Little Chaos
Once a con artist, then a lawyer, Eddie Flynn found that there wasn’t much difference between the two jobs. He’s decided to never set foot in a courtroom again, until that choice is taken away from him by Russian mafia chief Olek Volchek. Olek has kidnapped Eddie’s daughter and he has to win Volchek’s defence case in a tricky murder trial if he wants to see his daughter again.Under the scrutiny of the media and the law, Eddie has to convince this impossible jury or he loses everything that matters to him...
Sabine De Barra (Winslet) is a talented landscape designer whose penchant for the disarray in her plans catches the eye of André Le Notre (Schoenaerts), the king’s landscape artiste. He’s under pressure to satisfy the king’s (Rickman) demands for ‘perfection’ but takes a chance on the uncultured woman and employs her to help design the new gardens at Versailles. De Barra goes about navigating the androcentric world and, despite having no time for court protocol, wins over the notoriously fickle court and Le Notre’s heart…

Each week Brian Kennedy brings you the best of bands, groups and solo artists that Waterford has to offer. A bit of Tweed We all love a local (well sort of local) musical blast from the past and that manifested itself this week when I came across the legendary Tweed who are alive and well and playing at a local festive near you soon! Though they’ve been off and on, the group celebrates its 45th year as one of Ireland’s - and most certainly the South East’s favourite bands. Started by Brendan Ryder, Michael O’ Grady and Arthur Connick in 1970, the band’s unique brand of rock and originality immediately drew crowds. National acclaim followed with “Why Don’t You Spend The Night”, a cover of an old Bobby McDill number, which charted at No.16 in the Irish charts. The group also had

a stab at Eurovision glory in 1979, finishing 5th with “No Restrictions.” People like Gay Brazil, Dave Hallissey and the late Bobby Bible became centre to the core of the group. There would be a shift in musical direction in the early 90s. Dominic Hearne and Darren Holden would come in, leaving Brazil as the only original member. This of course would lead to the Whole Shebang, and a period of insane popularity for the band all over Ireland. Gay had wanted a more Irish feel and that popularity cemented itself when “Dreamers & Believers” dropped and the band discovered a whole new following. It lasted for another 7 years but the Whole Shebang called it a day in 2000. But everybody loves a happy ending and it’s fantastic to see Tweed back gigging. In doing so it opens up a siege of memories for us forty-somethings. Let’s hope they can stay around again! You can catch them at the Clancy Brothers Festival in Carrick on Suir on the June bank holiday ( June 1st) at Sean Healy Park.

From director George Miller, originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and mastermind behind the legendary Mad Max franchise, comes Mad Max: Fury Road a return to the world of the Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky. Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max (Tom Hardy) believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa (Charlize Theron). They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows..
Far From the Madding Crowd Rated 15A
We Raise Bears with Daithí Glas (In The Willows)
The legendary Tweed
We Raise Bears are fast becoming known for their live performances described as intense, emotionally-charged and raw. Having originally met while respectively studying music (Conor Miley) and fine art (Sharon Murphy), the pair eventually formed the band in early 2014. As a springboard, and armed with just a guitar, harmonium, pedals, light percussion and two voices, they set about capturing the raw essence of newly composed songs in a series of live videos, which were recorded on a Roscommon farm. Using the blueprint of these
live recordings, We Raise Bears spent 2014 regularly gigging around the country, making festival appearances that include Other Voices (Dingle) and Light Colour Sound (Kilkenny) as well as headlining Dublin’s Workman’s Club. The band have an interesting year ahead having already been included in The Last Mixtape’s 20 Emerging Acts for 2015 and were invited to play January’s Ones To Watch Festival 2015. They have just been announced to play Vantastival this summer. The band are currently recording their debut EP which is due for release in the coming months. Support from Daithí Glas of In The Willows. Friday 22nd May. Central Hall, Waterford – 9pm, €10.
On the stage Playtime in Narnia by Georgi McGeary Following their very successful productions of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, Christ Church National School returns with their new production Playtime in Narnia by Georgi McGeary, a play especially written for the children of Christ Church
National School. This whole school event brings the skills of teachers, parents and children to the fore offering a very special experience for all involved and audiences. Tuesday May 19th – Friday May 22nd. Garter Lane Arts Centre, 11am and 7pm. Tickets: Evening €10, Family Ticket of 5 €40, Matinee €6.
Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd is the story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching willfulness; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor. This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions explores the nature of relationships and love – as well as the human ability to overcome hardships through resilience and perseverance. This latest adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s evergreen novel is a positively stunning affair, with scenery as rich as the performances that compliment them..

The Parent Files By Heather Campbell
Protect your sanity RECENTLY I had the mother of one of my son’s friends ask if I ever get mad or yell. ‘You seem so calm and peaceful all the time’, she had said. I laughed. It was a great illustration of how we all think everyone else has it more together than we do. I yell. I get cross. My son runs and bounces through the house like balls in a pinball machine. Yet somehow, I have managed not to run screaming from the house dressed only in my birthday suit. At least, not yet. Here are my tips: 1. Lower your standards for cleanliness and order. 2. Did that? Lower them even more. 3. Your house will never look like a magazine spread, end of. Embrace that. 4. No matter how many tubs you buy to contain toys, they will always be visible. Embrace the Toys ‘R Us-chic decor. 5. You can never have too many icepops in the freezer. How many bad moods have been fixed by a simple popsicle? 6. Those chores that no one ever wants to do. Decide if you would rather do it
yourself, badger your child to it, or let it go. If you are confused about what to do, see Number 1 on this list. 7. No one cares what is stuffed under your child’s bed, why should you. Unless it is old food. In that case, you should get a dog. 8. If you have boys, your bathroom will always faintly stink like pee. Invest in some Febreeze and count down the days until they move out and you can go visit them and pee on their bathroom floor. 9. Don’t buy white furniture. Unless you enjoy screaming at your children every time they go near it. 10. Socks do not have to match. Every day is Crazy Sock Day at my house, which is infinitely better than Crazy Mom Day. 11. The crayons will break and it is okay to throw them away rather then save them to make some sort of craft that involves the hair dryer. In fact, I give you permission to not feel guilty about all the crafts you know you will never do. 12. Your children will not die from eating the occasional hot dog or frozen pizza. And by occasional I mean more than you are really willing to admit.
N AN attempt to tackle childhood and adult obesity the National Guidelines on Physical Activity for Ireland have been produced to increase physical activity and reduce the levels of overweight and obesity among Irish people. According to the guidelines, children and young people should be active, at a moderate to vigorous level, for at least 60 minutes everyday. They’ve put together some top tips to help get our children active: 1.Get active yourself: children learn through example and are five times more likely to be active if their parents are. 2.Limit screen time: limiting screen time allows more time for physical activity. There is a link between number of hours spent in sedentary screen time and the risk of obesity in children. 3.Plan: to be active, there are 1,440 minutes in a day so see where children can use at least 60 of them for activity. Remember you don’t have to do it all at once even 10 minutes at a time counts. After school activities are a great way for kids to be more active. 4.Make it family time: enjoy a laugh and a chat while going for a walk, cycle or swim. 5.Play active games with your children: they will enjoy them as much as you did! The benefits of being active for physical and mental health are huge. Being active helps release chemicals in your brain (endorphins), which have a positive effect on your mood, not to
mention the benefits to your heart, lungs, muscles and bones. Traditional school yard games are great fun and a good way to get you and your kids active. You don’t need much equipment and many can be played indoors as well as outdoors. Try these: • Ball games • Rhyming games • Running games • Skipping games 6.Let your children earn their pocket money by doing active chores: such as hoovering, raking up leaves and washing the car. 7.Walk or cycle to school: or at least some of the way where possible. Suggest that the school try for the Active School Flag. See activeschoolflag.ie for more information. 8.Get a rain coat and wellies: don’t use the weather as an excuse, make sure you and your child are prepared for rain! 9.Adapt the activity: if your child has a movement or sensory difficulty. For further information contact your local sports partnership sports inclusion disability officer or the CARA National Adapted Physical Activity Centre. 10.Give the gift of activity: buy gifts that encourage activity such as skipping ropes, hula-hoops, balls.
TAGGIES SOOTHE ME SOFT BOUNCER Suitable from when your child can sit unaided, this activity centre has a 3 position height adjustment facility and comes with a removable and washable seat unit cushion. With a toy arch and a whole host of toys, this product is exceptional value. Price: €79, from Baby Boom Nursery Shop, The Smithlands Centre, Kilkenny

City break: Very Venice
City Breaks in Rome A city break in Rome offers countless things to see and do, buy or eat. History is around every corner of Rome. From the Pantheon and the piazzas to Vatican City’s Sistine Chapel, the ‘Eternal City’ is one of the world’s most historically significant destinations. In Italy’s capital, you’ll discover cultural remnants of the Roman Empire, awe-inspiring Renaissance art, numerous historic landmarks as well as the culinary delights of la dolce vita - the sweet life.

Portugal
T
here’s an idyllic Portuguese holiday paradise to suit everyone. As you unwind on a beautiful beach, or pause for a lunch of grilled sardines in a tranquil village, you might wonder why the great Portuguese explorers ever wanted to leave this enchanting and diverse country in search of far-away lands. With some of Europe’s finest golf courses, historical sites and a culture of colourful local festivals, the list of Portugal’s attractions is
vast – and it doesn’t end here. Madeira sits off the coast, adding dramatic scenery, watersports, plus gardens and valleys filled with colourful flowers, to the holiday equation. The Algarve has been a popular holiday destination for years, but there’s a still lot to discover in its charming little villages and Moorish ruins. Bask in the radiant sunshine on one of the Algarve’s golden beaches before stopping in a marisqueira for a plate of freshly grilled prawns
and a glass of ice cold beer. Portugal’s diverse beaches range from rugged, volcanic shorelines to long stretches of golden sand. One of the best places in Portugal for beaches is the Algarve. Families will love Praia Monte Gordo near the Spanish border for its warm waters and seaside restaurants. One of the best places to visit in Portugal is the small island of Porto Santo, known for its azure blue waters and honey-coloured sands.
PORTUGAL IS BEST FOR... SUN-WORSHIPPERS: Soak up the sunshine on one of the Algarve’s glorious beaches. WALKERS: Venture through the lush, green mountains of Madeira. FOODIES: Try succulent espetada and freshly caught sardines in one of Funchal’s quaint little restaurants.
ROME IS BEST FOR... FOODIES: If you’ve had your fill of gelato, try tiramisu – a combination of cheese, chocolate and coffee. ART ENTHUSIASTS: Marvel at the frescos lining the interior of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel. COUPLES: Walk through the piazzas and along the Tiber River as the sun sets.corner of this fascinating city.

FOOD & DRINK
Waterford Mail 21 May 2015
Food & drink Old favourite
White: Fat Bastard, Chardonnay From France, 13%abv A great wine as a gift for someone with a sense of humour, but what’s it actually like? Well, on the nose it has vanilla and oak. However, in the mouth there are lots of exotic fruits like pineapple and kiwi while still having a buttery full mouth feel and the finish is long and creamy. Salmon, tuna or roast chicken will bring out its best, just watch the portion size lest you become what you drink! Price: €10.99 a bottle.
Red: Waterford Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon From South Africa, 13.5%abv
Rhubarb Crumble THE first of the forced rhubarb was available over the past month or so but now it’s the turn of the delicious, colourful and tart outdoor rhubarb. Comforting rhubarb crumble is a delicious combination of flavours and the pink colour of the rhubarb looks so attractive. It is also very quick and easy to prepare. Serve with custard or ice cream.
INGREDIENTS Serves 5 • 400g rhubarb • 100g strawberries • 4 tbsp caster sugar • 3 tbsp ground almonds • CRUMBLE TOPPING • 150g plain flour • 75g demerara sugar • A generous pinch of salt • 100g cold butter, cut into pieces • 50g ground almonds
METHOD • Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. • To make the topping, mix the flour together with the salt in a bowl and rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. • Mix in the ground almonds and sugar. • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces not larger than half an inch and halve the strawberries. • Sprinkle the ground almonds
Best possible taste TASTEFULLY YOURS from Dunhill in Waterford are artisan producers of chutneys, jams and pickles. The idea of designing good quality, delicious and somewhat different chutneys has been with the Tastefully Yours team for a long time. It is their belief that there is nothing quite as dynamic and intriguing as the world of food and that now is the perfect time to instill some of their passion and love of food to others. Tastefully Yours was established in October, 2009 and their products are receiving a fantastic response from their customers. All of their chutneys, relishes and pickles are developed by themselves and handmade in their kitchens in Dunhill Ecopark located in the beautiful village of Dunhill. They care deeply about the provenance of the fruits and vegetables that they use in the creation of their
products. Fresh produce is used as soon as it comes into season and they source all raw materials locally where possible, including their chilies which are grown in the polytunnels located within Dunhill Ecopark. Their products are the perfect accompaniment to pasta dishes, salads, hot and cold meats and are high quality ingredients for use in your daily cooking. Gift hampers are always available and can be filled with the products of your choice. They received the Megabytes Newcomer of the Year Award for 2010, the Bridgestone Best in Ireland Award 2011 and Audrea received the Outstanding Business of the Year Award at the Waterford County Enterprise Wonder Woman of Business Awards 2012. Products are available to buy online at www.buyersclub.ie
over the base of a suitable ovenproof dish (a round pyrex dish with a 17cm diameter is good). • Mix the rhubarb and strawberries together with the sugar and spoon into the dish. • Cover the fruit with the crumble topping and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
If you plan on buying a county hurler or select a wine after the recent league win may I suggest this, one of Waterford’s finest. Hopefully, like the team it will improve over the next 8-10 years. On the nose it has lots of dark fruit and spiced wood. The mouth gives you a rich jammy feel with lots of oak and the finish is dry and long. As I said this is a wine for laying down and will continue to improve right up to 2020 and beyond. Price: €26.99 a bottle Steve Daly. Available from “Next Door Forum Waterford” The Glen, 051 871 133.
