This popped up on my Twitter feed today and I think it is a really fantastic idea! I wanted to share it out to others who may be interested in this unique way of learning authentic local recipes from people who have come to Ireland and need some help.

Yesterday a customer told me about Pearls and how they are a living gem. Imagine how many pearls it takes to make a necklace!! One occasion where the falsie (farmed) pearl is MUCH cooler than the real thing! Not sure I would even like to wear a living gem, unless it somehow chose me.. what do you think?

I work in a garden centre and I love my garden so I get that people dont want pests annoying them like slugs or ants BUT it seems to me that we are too quick to kill. What natural remedies do you recommend for dealing with garden pests? My Polish friend has suggested cinnamon around the doorway or window to stop ants entering. Worth a try!
