What is Ireland Eating?

That is the title of a documentary airing on tv this Sunday night (May 8th) here on the island.

Jesus. I am afraid to watch.

We (the nation of Ireland) are the biggest consumers of breakfast cereal in the world and 43% of our diet is from processed foods. Ok, not in our house but in a general study that was done recently. These numbers are very disturbing.

Educate yourself here on Suzanne Campbell’s blog Basketcase and tune in  to watch this foodiementary on RTE ONE television 9.30pm this Sunday May 8th.

AND for those of you on twitter the hashtag is #whatisirelandeating and my handle (shockingly) is @WiseMona.

Have a great weekend!

PS. this is all happening on Sunday night leading us into ‘Eat Only Irish For a Week‘. Perfect timing I would say to clean the crap out of your fridges and eat like a locavore for a week!

To Market, to market…..

For those of you that would love to read the latest issue of the Galway Now magazine but cannot get your hands on a copy, I pulled out the FOUR MOST IMPORTANT pages for you to gloss over when you have time. No hurry at all.

I realise that the pages are a little crooked, my exacto knife was not working all that well. I hope you can enlarge the text well enough to read,(try printing it?) if not send me an email at monazwise@gmail.com and I will send it your way!

Exam stress is real.

This is a nice little break!

Happy hump day (what’s left of it!)
