2B;NĂ&#x152;MĂ&#x2014;IHĂ&#x2014;NB?Ă&#x2014;G?HO LEMON CURD AND PASSION FRUIT PAVLOVA. I said a while back that I would only include recipes in this column that I know from experience people love. Well hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that breaks all the moulds of popularity when it comes to deserts. Everybody loves pavlova! So here is the recipe for The Granary Cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lemon curd and Passion Fruit Pavlova. INGREDIENTS: 8 Egg whites 500g Caster Sugar Two Teaspoons CornďŹ&#x201A;our Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180c. Start whisking the egg whites on a slow speed. Gradually add in a little of the sugar at a time, this is the best way to ensure the perfect stiff meringue. By the time you add the last of the sugar the mixer should

be on top speed. Now line a baking tray with parchment. Empty the meringue onto the centre of the sheet using a spatula. Flatten the top and smooth the sides. Place in the oven. Turn the oven down to 2/150c and cook for one and a half hours. Turn the oven off, open the door and leave to cool completely. Whip 300ml of cream. Fold a jar of good quality lemon curd into the cream. Now fold in the contents of 3

passion fruit. Spread the lemon cream on top of the pavlova and wait for the applause! This is the basic pavlova recipe. You can garnish it with whatever is in season, eg, strawberries, or raspberries. Why not try a topping of caramel,fresh whipped cream and bananas for a decidedly different take on a banoffe pie? The Granary CafĂŠ is on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Street

Business of the week Geoghegan Conservatories

Geoghegan Conservatory Conversions is the kind of business you always think should exist then one day realize that it does indeed exist, they offer a service that has become more and more essential over the years as conservatories become prevalent in Ireland. The classic problem with conservatories is that they’re too warm in the Summer and too cold in the Winter, Geoghegan’s aim to stop this problem by replacing the top of a conservatory with a declarite roof completely customizable to your desires.

A consultation is free, those owning a conservatory should deﬁnitely look into this, it will turn a niche part of your house into a real addition.

Hotel of the week O’Shea’s Hotel Located right on the beach in the centre of Tramore, O’Shea’s Hotel magically combines the old world charm of an old hotel with the modern facilities of a new one, it is a beautiful and atmospheric location that should not be missed. A huge emphasis has clearly been put on staff because the hotel is extremely friendly, from the moment you enter you will be treated with the best of service and will always have someone on hand to help you whatever your needs may be. Weddings are great here, as are hen parties (though not at the same time) I highly recommend this hotel.

Film of the week X-Men: Days of Future Past

Many elements of this film feel stuck in the past: In the 2000 world of the original X-Men film before Spider Man and The Avengers changed the genre of Superhero movies for ever and where the world was still recovering from Batman & Robin, thankfully though the movie manages to capture what made those films so acclaimed in the first place and is almost as good as 2012’s X-Men First Class. The director seat returns to Bryan Singer and the story is about Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine being sent back to the past to change history and stop an event that would bring about doom for both mutants and humans. The film makes fun use of the premise and is worth seeing.

Restaurant of the week Espresso Espresso is a restaurant that never seems to get the attention it deserves, located on Parnell Street, this excellent restaurant has some of the best dishes in the county at a price almost negligible compared to a lot of other restaurants. The menu has both Irish and Italian dishes with an emphasis put on local produce and organic vegetables, it is bursting with great experiences, my favourite of which being the excellent

Activity of the week A Rural Experience A Rural Experience is an activity that allows you to get to know your country a lot better, it gives you a chance to take a day trip through a county, exploring its beauty and history, giving extra meaning to an area you thought you knew everything about. The county trips are one day affairs and can be done in Waterford, Kilkenny, Dublin, Tipperary and other counties, on top of this there is also longer excursions that’ll take you to Northern Ireland, the West or Wexford and are very fun holidays for an entire family. I recommend taking one of the trips, whether you want a 5 day adventure or just a day-out.

pizzas that are some of the best in the county. The staff are always friendly and helpful, it’s simply a great location and one I highly recommend.

Game of the week Tropico 5 Tropico 5 is the newest game in the long running and ever enjoyable Tropico game franchise that tasks you with being the dictator of a small tropical island during the Cold War era. Throughout the game you build up your infrastructure, deal with the various factions as well as the international forces vying for inﬂuence (Americans, Soviets etc) and secure your place as

benevolent ruler of the island. There are missions but the only objective in reality is to remain in power, the game is full of style and humour and is one of the most fun strategy games to come out in a while, I highly recommend it.

Pub of the Week Beckett’s Located on Knockboy Cross on the Dunmore Road, Beckett’s is a great place to go for food and drinks in Waterford. Its interior is elegant and modern but still manages to retain the friendliness of an old Irish pub, there is a wide variety of food here and it is all excellent, you could come here every day, get something different

each day, and never see a drop in quality. Beckett’s has menus for lunch and dinner so is suitable for all times of the day; I wholeheartedly recommend this location.

Album of the week Mdou Moctar- Afelan It seems with Afelan, North African musician Mdou Moctar is still getting to grips with the album format, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the most compelling and enjoyable albums of last year. The music is simple Tuareg rock and folk, most of the

songs are just Mdou and his guitar with maybe some drums and backing vocals, it’s a huge departure from his earlier, auto-tune heavy lo-ﬁ focus and makes the album feel like a much more personal and warm work. I highly recommend this album.

Car dealer of the week T&C Peugeot

T&C Peugeot is a great place in Waterford to buy cars, its modern, customer focused approach to the business of cars has put them leagues above many other car dealers in the city and they are a business worthy of looking in to. T&C have intimate knowledge of their stock and will be able to give you every piece of information you can need while you sit inside one of their cars and contemplate

your purchase, the modern showroom is perfect and the staff will always be friendly. On top of this prices are always reasonable and fair in T&C Peugeot, they are a

business I highly recommend.

Book of the Week Lynnwood

Lynnwood is the newest book by Thomas Brown and is an enjoyable romp, chronicling the lives of characters in Lynnwood England, a seemingly idyllic town plagued by a dark past and centuries of trauma. The general tone and atmosphere of the novel is creepiness, the dark underlying mystery of the town gets under your skin and informs the entire novel, from the ﬁrst sentence

• Max Casey takes a look at the best of music, ﬁlm and literature •

),/0 (DV\ 5LGHU

Easy Rider is a rare kind of film that manages to look incredibly dated but be kind of endearing because of it; it’s a film so definitively about its time and place that even when it slips up it feels authentic. The film is about a duo of bikers who decide to travel across the US to New Orleans for Mardi Gras after a successful drug trade past the Mexican border. The film is relatively plotless, the drugs are all sold before even the title comes up and the rest of the film is dedicated to little stories as Wyatt and Billy interact with people across the country. The highlight of these is unquestionably the time spent with Jack Nicholson, Nicholson was relatively unknown at the time but his role here turned him into a star and for good reasons, he plays an alcoholic lawyer and is so much fun while also being so obviously unbalanced that he becomes the best part of the film. Easy

Rider has a lot to say about the famous counterculture and hippy movements of the 1960s that it portrays, the film seems to be saying that the movement had the potential to change the world but in the end became simply a premature drug-addled mess. Its viewpoint I believe is summed up in the moment at the commune when they see starving thirsty youths trying to grow crops in what is basically sand. Trying to change the world for the better is like planting crops in the desert, ultimately impossible. The film finds fault with the counterculture, this can be found in the bad acid trip near the end and also the aforementioned scene which personifies the extreme naivety of those involved. Wyatt comments at one point: ‘We blew it’. The film operates as a sort of reverse Western film. We are meant to draw parallels between Wyatt and Billy and old Western heroes, in one

of the first scenes of the film shots of them changing a tyre are interspersed with shots of shoes being put on a horse and the names themselves are taken from classic Western films. But there is some fundamental differences, Westerns typically featured naïve characters learning from an adventure West and return home with wealth and as a man, in Easy Rider the two main characters are already grizzled and experienced at the start of the film and they are travelling east, gradually getting destroyed on the way. The film makes constant use of montages and has one of the best soundtracks in movie history, Steppenwolf, The Byrds and Jimi Hendrix all have songs in the film and it makes for one of the best uses of the montage trope. Easy Rider is a definitive ‘60s movie, a triumph of a film that deserves to be seen.

It’s writers like Murakami that make my life difficult. Most of the time for this piece if it’s a novel then I’ll read it once, analyse it, then come to some sort of conclusion about themes and the likes before writing it all down (with a little help from external sources). But in Kafka on the Shore we have a book that not only requires multiple readings really to get to grasps with the themes, but also multiple readings to understand the basics of the plot. Murakami stated that the book is full of riddles without solutions, instead it is up for the reader to answer the riddles themselves and therefore the novel will read differently for everyone who reads it. I don’t even know where to begin with analysis of this book, maybe in the premise. The book tasks itself with melding magic realism, pop culture and the mundane into this strange pot of styles, the book is Japanese and set in Japan but the culture is distinctly American inﬂuenced. Metaphor is omnipresent, everything is

metaphorical for something else and characters are aware of it. For example, near the end of the novel when Kafka drops his supplies and takes off into the forest, it is clear he has no fear because to him it’s some sort of dream or metaphorical journey not a literal one. Many parts of the book feel like personiﬁcations of our character’s inner problems, it’s difficult to know if a lot of the book even really happened. The plot tells the stories of multiple characters and are loosely (and metaphorically!) connected, our main character is a ﬁfteen-year-old boy who renames himself Kafka and runs away from home, he gets work in an ancient library and

becomes infatuated with the owner of the library Miss Saeki. While this is happening we also learn of Nakata, a sixty-year-old who learned to talk to cats after a strange occurrence took place in his youth, his proﬁciency at ﬁnding cats because of this has made him well known in his ward, but a certain event leads him from Tokyo to the South in search of something called an ‘Entrance Stone’. Although it all sounds convoluted the book is actually simple to understand and a page-turner, just presume that everything will be sorted out by the end and don’t get bogged down in every irregularity. Murakami has a natural aptitude for writing and makes great use of metaphors in his writing to both make incredibly vivid imagery as well as to progress the magic realism aspect of his work. I highly recommend this book, it’s strange and surreal and engaging (and unsuitable for young readers) and is one of the best books of the 00’s.

There is no experience in music quite like listening to Exile on Main St, it’s a complete mess of an album and one that is occasionally so silly you have to laugh but the album personiﬁes everything that was great about The Rolling Stones and is their best album by far. If I was to take Exile on Main St. on a song by song basis then it would lose in a pinch to Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed and Beggars Banquet (and a lot more probably) but to do that would be to miss the point of the album. The joy of Exile on Main St. is the joy of sitting on a Summer day and jamming away on a guitar, it doesn’t take itself seriously or tries to be intellectual, it’s the simple joy of making music that this album personiﬁes. It does often feel like the band are just throwing whatever they have at a wall and seeing what sticks, you have rock songs, country, blues, soul and whatever else the Stones could think to put on it but the variety and eclectic nature of it that makes the album so much

better than it would have been otherwise. The album was recorded in different locations over multiple years, some in the South of France, some in Los Angeles, some in the Rolling Stones’ mobile studio; but it all shares this muddy, lo-ﬁ production that suits the album perfectly, making it clear and pleasant would have missed the point. Many of the songs were recorded quickly and in unsuitable conditions; the opening song Rocks Off was recorded when it was extremely hot and as such you can hear the instruments going out of tune as the song progresses and the second single Happy was famously ﬁnished in four hours. It’s a nostalgic record, and having been released in the height of prog rock it’s easy to

imagine The Stones wondering where Rock n Roll was actually going and trying to bring it back to what it was: Fun. Exile on Main St. didn’t do anything new with Rock when it came out but it embodied it so much, pushed everything that makes rock n roll special to oblivion and slapped it all together as a double album. It’s silly and immature and messy but it’s completely endearing because of it, it’s one of the best albums ever made.

(GJH 2I 7RPRUURZ When I think of the Tom Cruise action hero, I think: unflappable, fearless, dashing. In Edge of Tomorrow, Cruise jettisons these traits from the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first scene, and it makes for an action movie that is not only freshly enthralling, but also could usher in a new stage of his career. Based on the novel All You Need Is Kill, Edge of Tomorrow plays out like an action-packed version of Groundhog Day. But instead of following a selfish weatherman who needs to learn to open himself up and love, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following a cowardly soldier who has to unlock the key to defeating an alien invasion force that seems unstoppable. Cruise stars as Bill Cage, a military man who has never seen action and contributes solely as a TV personality who talks up the war effort to lure in new recruits. But when his commanding officer de-

cides Cage should take his camera crew to the front lines of their next major battle, Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insubordination lands him in the infantry of an unwinnable battle. Cage is dead within minutes. Remarkably, he wakes up--with a jolt, but as if the day had never happened. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the barracks, the day before the battle, back at one, as it were. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why, but again and again he is thrown onto the beach, into the battle, and he dies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scenario that would seem to be episodic, but the script crackles with humor and variations, making Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deaths and resurrections as funny as they are shocking. Before long, he discovers heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first to experience this repeating pattern, meeting literal poster girl/ super soldier Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), the Angel of Verdun, The Full Metal

Bitch, whose extraordinary combat skills won the day in an epic battle. Together, they team up to use Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timetraveling to overcome his Cassandra Complex and save all mankind. Edge of Tomorrow is magnificent. After a bit of a slow start, Liman launches us into a war that is gut-rattling in its violence and awe-inspiring in its execution, seamless special effects and action, action, action. Tied to a hero who is initially gutless, we can connect to Cageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fear. When Cruise shifts him into the kind of hero we demand of this megastar, we are hooked hard into this rip-roaring ride. The movie positively pulses with adrenaline, reflected in its powerful performances, clever cuts and its fluid yet exhilarating cinematography that weaves around heroes, explosions, and spiraling space monsters. Edge of Tomorrow will leave you breathless and grinning. Simply put, this is why we go to the movies.

You could think of this as needing to adapt to a new cell phone where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fresh system to be mastered. Yet even without that mobile itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable that the cosmos wants you to think about communicating. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon is the annual one that could coincide with you taking a fresh look at finances - and, in particular, how much you spend on communications and travel. There may be better deals around now. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take advantage of these can amend usage? Hold the thought that the lunar node is now moving through another of the Air signs and that for the next 16 months, your research and development department (and yes, that includes affairs of the heart) is in particularly good working order. Hold the thought that next Sunday the Sun makes a near perfect aspect to Jupiter - still moving through your sign. True, Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon is in neighbouring Gemini and so highlights a usually hidden-area of your solar chart. It seems though that by the end of the month you will have success. Until Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon the cosmic challenge for you seems to be about multitasking. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable that others will be throwing ideas your way and that some are half-baked of course. Yet amongst these though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be at least one that could go somewhere. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon marks a promising moment to review aims and objectives and, most likely, define new ones. You may already have ideas on the table that have traction but that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got around to yet. It may be that what you really need is a mentor or guide.

By the last day of May, the spotlight could be well and truly on you. True, you should be aware that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the possibility of someone putting a key in your back and effectively manipulating you to do their whim. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assume that you really do know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and that you feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. This seems to be a recurring theme: is it time to think more carefully about your health and diet? Is it possible that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually your mental and spiritual health thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as in good shape as it could be? It may be that your usual diet of news and, films, programs etc. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely that those close to you will have fresh ideas to propose after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon. Soon after that, you may feel to be lost in a sea of ideas and concepts and be unsure as to which, if any, will gain â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;legsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Fact is that you could feel - albeit temporarily, - lost and unsure. Around this time of year every year, the side of your brain thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinated by quizzes and answers is activated. This year that could be even more pronounced than usual. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the likelihood that these puzzles will, in some way, be connected to the Internet or to design (or both!). This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon is in another of the Air signs (Gemini). Of course this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for this time of year. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different is that this coincides with a series of aspects that suggest a different type of music may be playing. It may be that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only now unlocking a part of you thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been dormant. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for a new beginning, Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon could prove really helpful. New Moons usually take a few days to gather energy but this might not need much more than a couple. Before the weekend it seems likely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be at action-stations.

S THIS your day? Driving to work, sitting at your desk for the day, exercising only your ďŹ ngers as you type, have lunch delivered and then back into the car and home to spend a relaxing evening on the couch in front of the TV. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not lazy, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying in the same position for up to 12 or more hours per day. A recent University of Limerick study found that Irish teenage girls spend 20 hours a day either sitting or lying down. Numerous recent studies are telling us that sitting for too long each day can lead to several health conditions including increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels. We are also increasing the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Bodies need movement Naturally weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made life easier for ourselves, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point in doing things the hard way. However, human beings are not designed to stay in any one static posture for long periods of time. In fact, our body relies on muscular movement to keep certain systems in operation. For instance the lymphatic system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have its own pump and relies on muscular

contraction to keep lymph ďŹ&#x201A;owing around the body. The intervertebral discs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their own blood supply and need movement to keep them healthy. Our joints need ďŹ&#x201A;uid, and our circulatory and digestive systems become sluggish without movement. One recent study compared adults who spent less than two recreational hours a day in front of a screen with those who logged more than four hours a day. Those with greater screen time had a nearly 50 percent increased risk of death from any cause and near 125 percent increased risk of events associated with cardiovascular disease, such as chest pain (angina) or heart attack. One way to avoid prolonged sitting during the workday is to switch to a standing desk, or one that can adjust to sitting

and standing positions. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the recent pictures of Victoria Beckham at a treadmill desk, which lets workers walk at a leisurely pace while they type or answer the phone. Get going Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bit away from that yet but an easier, no-cost solution is to get up every thirty minutes or so and stretch and move around the office, to avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time. Try standing up when you answer the phone. Sure, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some looks, but why not be a trend setter. Think about all those times youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cursing because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a closer parking spaceâ&#x20AC;Ś look upon these as good things that allow you to have some exercise and ultimately lengthen your life and improve your energy. And incidentally, spending a few sessions a week at the gym doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to signiďŹ cantly offset the risk. Rather, the no-cost, simple solution is apparently just sitting less and moving more. Trish Hayden, YogaToGo, teaches Total Barre, Yoga and Sports Stretch Yoga in Kilkenny. She also teaches one to one yoga sessions for posture and Office Yoga. For details, phone 086-3895507, or Facebook YogaToGo with Trish Hayden.

By Ellen Roche TODAY, I would like to inform readers about a coming free nutrition sharing event which I have been asked to present. The Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute (INDI) have just launched its inaugural Nourish Ireland Week. The campaign which runs from June 9 to 14, is aimed at providing the general public with free, unbiased, evidencebased information on nutrition. Topics include weaning for babies, sports nutrition, food allergies and intolerances, healthy ageing, food and its role in prevention and cancer recurrence, managing diabetes through diet and also fussy eating. The INDI is the professional body for Dietitians in Ireland and its

Interim CEO, Richelle Flanagan, has been instrumental in developing the campaign. At the launch, professional rugby player Andrew Trimble lent his support and Richelle Flanagan outlined plans for Nourish Ireland Week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to improve the Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health through food and nutrition which is why we are offering free nutrition talks for the public on a range of topics that cover nutritional issues for children such as weaning, fussy eaters, allergies and intolerances, and eating disorders. Just been diagnosed Topics for adults are healthy ageing, diet and its role in the prevention and recurrence of cancer, managing Type 2 Diabetes through good nutrition and improving performance for sports enthusiasts through diet and nutrition.â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;From our work in the community, hospitals, and private clinics our dietitians come across many patients who have either just been diagnosed with a nutrition-related condition or have a family member whom they are concerned about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a percentage of patients they are confused about nutrition having often been given inaccurate information by unqualiďŹ ed sources â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or they simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who they

can rely on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the professional body for dietitians in Ireland our members are highly qualiďŹ ed to offer evidence based information and robust nutritional support. As an organisation we are totally impartial and let the science do the talking,â&#x20AC;? Ms Flanagan explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a professional sports player, nutrition plays a huge part in my training and ďŹ tness regime.

Nutritional needs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding what my nutritional needs are is critical to my performance but everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are different as they go through life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supporting the INDIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nourish Ireland Week because I know how important it is to take care of your body from a physical and psychological perspective,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Trimble. The Nourish Ireland Week public

events are in Dublinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clyde Court Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 on June. 9. Cork venue is the Silver Springs Moran Hotel in Cork city on June 12.
