Spice Up Your Life

I like food.

I love good food.

However, I am the first to admit that I am incredibly lazy about cooking.

While I know that I could create my own sauce mixes etc., with a little bit of effort it’s much easier for me to simply buy them readymade.

Spicendipity is a new Irish food venture that is aimed at lazy cooks like me, or at least it would appear to be!

The site sells an interesting range of spice / herb mixes, sauces and some very tempting cookie and brownie mix.

Sites that sell food work on your palate. While words may help to describe what is in the package a good quality photo will go a lot further and with this site my mouth is literally watering!

On a sidenote, it’s been shortlisted for the Irish Web Awards

Shopping Online With Ebay

I am a self-confessed Ebay addict (if such an ailment exists!).

Ebay is simply huge. You can find pretty much anything you’ve ever thought of on there and if you’re not careful you may even stumble across things you didn’t even know existed.

I have bought a lot of stuff off eBay over the last few years. Books, CDs, DVDs, electronics, stamps, postcards, watches – the list goes on and on.

There are a couple of reasons why I use eBay.

On the one hand I can save money on a lot of items. Audio cables, for example, cost a fraction on eBay.

Other things I simply cannot find anywhere else, such as CDs from defunct music groups.

The only bad thing about eBay is that you can end up spending so much time and money on there if you’re not careful…

Eat and Meet New People

dinetomeetI heard about DineToMeet some time ago and the idea struck me as being pretty cool.

If, like me, you’re over 30 and working full time somewhere other than your native town, it’s always a bit of a challenge to meet new people.

The DineToMeet concept isn’t “dating” it’s more socialising, which sounds like it could be really good fun.

I haven’t had a chance to take part as they don’t run the events in Carlow, but I suspect it would be good fun.

In any case it’s a cool idea.

XKCD Geek Cartoon Strips

xkcdIf you’re a bit of a geek or nerd, then you’ll probably know XKCD.

If you don’t, well you should!

XKCD is sheer genius, though some of its comics might offend the more sensitive types (PG rating perchance?)

This one always makes me giggle a little:

Krystian Kozerawski Photoblog

I seem to be posting about quite a few photoblogs at the moment. I assure you it’s not intentional!

Krystian Kozerawski‘s photo blog has a very nice mix of Irish and international photos.

Whether it’s a photo of his wife or a still life they are truly impressive (at least to my eye!)

Disclosure: Krystian was my housemate when he was living in Ireland.
