If there’s one kitchen skill you learn this year please let it be how to joint a chicken. €17.60/kg for breasts or €3.74/kg for a whole one. There’s a load of tutorial videos on YouTube to help. I’d love to see some cookery programmes return to demoing these basic skills

School principals claiming to support secretaries and caretakers during their strike yet undertaking their duties is a slap in the face to those colleagues not to mention it sets a dangerous precedent whereby the Dept. of Ed. will expect principals to do this going forward.
@ciaraquill You’re totally right but I know a lot have. Secretaries still know what’s going on in their school and already know the work is being done. One secretary was very upset about it at the rally yesterday cause she’d been told she is supported and there was someone doing her work 😞

This should not happen. Principals & BOM members should not be undertaking the duties of secretaries & caretakers during the strike. Unions have said this.. No doubt, some will. But they are doing themselves, our school secretaries & caretakers a major disservice if they do. 🤷♂️
@simonmlewis I think most boards or principals will step in and do the time before that happens. Simple things like ordering toilet paper and soap. Unfortunately I feel most will do it to keep school open and go against what their union is telling them to do. It’s going to create a divide

Always great to see Ribera del Duero getting the love it deserves. Corimbo 2021 from Bodegas La Horra is a beauty—old vine Tempranillo at its best. Glad you liked it @GlassOfRedWine 👍

A classic Rhône blend done right. Domaine de la Solitude 2023 is smooth, elegant, and full of depth. Grateful for the feature from @GlassOfRedWine 👍

This really is excellent Burgundy. Tremendous intensity with lots of red fruit like cranberry, candied redcurrant and tart cherry. Hint of bitter orange and the very nascent stages of what will develop into a lovely sous-bois in a few years. An absolute stunner from #BorisChampy

It’s always good to taste Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc at different stages of maturity… This is the 2024 vintage — young, vibrant, straight from Domaine de la Solitude ✅ Don’t sleep on young vintages — this one is already singing 🎶

.@CondedelosAndes is one of the oldest documented bodegas in Rioja and boasts an incredible 2km of ageing cellars, winding under the ancient town of Ollauri in Rioja Alta. 🏰 We tasted through some of their impressive back collection and limited release wines. 😍
