Black Eyed Pea Salad - Móna Wise

The month of January is weird. Every where I go I meet people that are in a state of flux. Coming down of their Christmas high and trudging onwards day by day with work, or college, or parenting.

Watch "The Voice of Claregalway" on RTE on Sunday

On Sunday evening viewers will see local talented girl Ailbhe Hession sing for the coaches in ‘blind’ auditions – the coaches will not be allowed to see any of the singers, only to hear them.

Thought for the week – What Goes Around, Comes Around

The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly very wealthy.  ‘Leave me alone,’ he growled. The woman continued standing. ‘Are you hungry?’ she asked. ‘No,’ he answered sarcastically. ‘I’ve just come from dining with the President. Now go away.’ The woman smiled. Suddenly the man felt a hand under his arm. ‘What are you doing, lady?’ the man asked. ‘Leave me alone’. Just then a garda came up. ‘Is there any problem, ma’am?’ he asked. ‘No problem here,’ the woman answered. ‘I’m just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?’ …
