Review of Kettyle Rib-Eye Steak
[Kettyle Rib-Eye Steak](http://www.kettyleirishfoods.com/) <div class="summary">Interesting product from Dunnes Stores. Decent meat and an unusual cut from an Irish Supermarket</div>  <div class="description"> Catherine spotted these Kettyle products in Dunnes the other day and bought the rib-eye. Unlike most steak sold in Irish Supermarkets, this one is totally vacpacked.
I’ve read Hugh F-W complain about supermarket vacuum packs as they are usually full of blood too so that the meat does not dry mature properly.

Yoplait and Summer
We’ve got a big batch of Yoplait Orange and Melon yoghurts (the family favourite) in the fridge with dark fruit flecks in them (blackberry maybe?). Not a big problem but it also happened last year. Now I’ve just realised it was almost exactly a year ago! Very odd. Is one of the summer replacement staff colour blind ;-)

Review of Hairy Baby Hoodie
[Hairy Baby Hoodie](http://www.hairybaby.com)
<div class="summary">These new hoodies with customised art-work are a brilliant progression from their super t-shirts. Sister loved her birthday present.</div> 
<div class="description">
We’re Hairy Baby fanatics in this house. I treasure my “Are you the farmer” t-shirt (only Withnail fans get it!) and my “People’s Front of Judea” one. Not only are they funny, the quality of the tees is excellent.

SOHO SOLO Ireland
I gave a talk today about blogging to the West Cork Soho Solo Networking Meeting in Clonakilty. I previous gave the same one to the East Cork group. It was very well received and I hope we see a few new blogs coming from them. If you are not aware of Soho Solo, it is a very worthwhile project. As their site says:
The aims of the project are to identify Small Office Home Office Workers(Soho Solos) in the South West of Ireland, to encourage others to relocate or return to the region, to promote Small Office Home Office Working and to offer support to these “new” entrepreneurs.

Favour from my foreign language expert readers
We’re playing around with some stuff on LouderVoice and we need as many translations as possible for the word “review” in the sense of “a review of a movie” or “a review of a restaurant”.
Ideally it should be a generic word that works in most situations. It would also be better if the words did not have accented characters (I’ll explain that in a later post) and they must be in latin alphabet.

Review of Wagamama
[Wagamama](http://www.wagamama.ie/),
4-5 South Main Street,
Cork,
Ireland
<div class="summary">Very enjoyable family meal with fantastic kid-centered service. Highly recommended.</div> 
<div class="description">
Our eldest was badgering us yesterday that we never eat in “proper restaurants” so we scooted into town with the plan to either go to Captain America’s (a first for all of us) or Wagamama nxt door (which I’d eaten in last year).
We arrived up and made the snap decision to go for Wagamama.

Sustainably Slow Event on July 28th
Anthony and the gang in Ummera are hosting a Slow Food Event on the 28th. All the details over at their blog. In a nutshell:
There will be a number of small artisan producers displaying, tasting and selling their products. There will also be several organisations and companies who are involved in matters of a sustainable nature, solar panels, wetland construction, vermicomposting, permaculture, wind and hydro power.
Well worth a trip down to a beautiful location and a fabulous building.

Review of Steorn Orbo
This super device which breaks fundamental laws of physics is sure to be a huge success with those who give their bank details to strangers.
I was thrilled and delighted to get the only surviving video footage of the Steorn Orbo machine. This incredible machine can generate energy out of nothing and just goes to show what those with no knowledge can achieve when they put their minds to it.
