Beat the home office blues with virtual lunch meetings!
13th April 2021 by Burren Smokehouse.
For the last 12 months, more and more companies embraced letting their employees work from home to keep them safe and the operation going.
This has of course its upsides like a radically reduced commute (all of 15 seconds, give or take?), being in your own environment without distractions from colleagues, and being able to have breaks in your own kitchen instead of the canteen.
There are, however, also downsides. The kids need supervising, or they burst into a web meeting to the amusement of the other members on the video call. Distractions of a different kind.
Cut 600 g of the salmon fillet into 5 cm pieces and set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, wide pan with a lid, over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 10 minutes or until the onion and garlic soften. Add the cumin, paprika, ground coriander and turmeric, stir well and cook for 1 minute. Add in the cinnamon stick, tomatoes, courgette and water and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the lemon zest, reserving the juice for the couscous, and half the chopped coriander. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Season the smoked salmon and then place it in a single layer over mixture in pan. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

John Creedon follows Tolkien to the Burren
3rd March 2021 by Burren Smokehouse.
Peter Curtin of the Roadside Tavern, Master Brewer in the Burren Brewery and Unearther of Unknown Historical Facts met with radio and TV presenter John Creedon. This Meeting of Minds was all about J.R.R. Tolkien and his master piece, The Lord of the Rings .
Dr. Liam Campbell was also interviewed. He is an independent writer and scholar from Northern Ireland who is published both creatively and academically. Liam lectures in English Literature & Creative Writing for the North West Regional College in Ireland & the Ulster University.
He and Peter got in contact a number of years ago over the subject of J.R.R. Tolkien s epic work, its history and Tolkien s intentions when writing the trilogy. Since, Liam has done a lot of research on the subject, and even travelled to libraries in the US in pursuit of the historical facts.
