1 squash, peeled, seeds removed and cut into 2cm pieces salt and pepper handful of Italian parsley, chopped to serve mash potato or celeriac mash Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Blúire Béaloidis ó Scoileanna Chorca Dhuibhne: Sé an áit go bhfuilim se im chomhnuidhe na in oileán beag amuigh i lár na farraige. Tá sé trí mhíle ón mín-tír. Níl saipéal ná siopa ann. Sé an ainm a glaodhthar ar ná an Blascaod Mór. Sé an chiall gur glaodhadh an "Blascaod Mór" ar na:— tuisg cumadh an bosgaoid a bheith air istig i lár na fharraige agus le seanablas i dtaobh a bigeacht a tugadh "mór" air. Sé an méid tighthe atá ar fad ann ná sé tighthe fichead. Tá ceann slinne ar seacht cínn aca agus ceannaidheacha peilte ar an gcuid eile acht amháin tig amháin go bhfhuil ceann tuighe air. Níl aon chrann ag fás ann. Siad na sloinnte ar fad atá ann ná Guithínig, Cathánaigh, Cearnaíg, Suilleabhánaig, Conchubharaig, Seaghadh. Sé an sloinne is mó ann ná Ceárna. Siad seo na daoine aosta atá ann. Seán Ó Ceárna — fear ana láidir a b'eadh é. Níl sé amhlaidh anois mar tá taom maith dá aos tagaighthe. Tá an radharc ag teip air agus caitheann sé an chuid is mó dá shaoghal san leabaidh. Micheál Ó Seaghadh. Bíonn sé seo isteach agus amach do féin fós. Máire Ní Cheárna. Bhead sí seo go maith leis mar a mbeadh gur theip ceann dá cosa uirthi. Mar sin féin is féidir léi siubhal amach le cabhair ón mbata láimhe. Eibhlín Ní Chatháin. Tá sí seo go láidir fós isteach agus amach di féin ag déanam beagán gnótha. Máire Ní Cheárna. Níl sí seo ró mhaith leis mar tá an radharc ag teip uirthi. Ní labharann siad acht Gaedhluinn níl aon Bhéarla aca. Níl ann acht dá sheanafhothrach ná bhfhuil róaosta — tig cruiceóige act ní ón seana saoghal é agus túr. Do théigeadh na mílte des na daoine óga go America fadó. Tá sé ráidhthe go bhfhuil talamh an Bhlascaoid ar an dtalamh is feárr san doman chun cur. Fásann fiar breágh fada ann.
