Coffee’s a great way to convince yourself into believing you’re going to have a productive day.

There is a delicious version of seafood coctail, particulary served in Mexican Restaurants in El Paso and the South West. It has cucumbers, shrimp, avacodo, octopus, squid, jalapenos, etc. I would like to know what they use to make the sauce. Can someone please give me the recipe?.

You can certainly substitute fresh tomatoes. You would need about 5 or 6 large very ripe tomatoes and you should preferably skin them and then chop them before adding them to the minestrone.

I also use fresh herbs and salt instead of a stock cube – generous pinches of oregano, basil, parsley, coriander and thyme and a chopped clove of garlic and then salt to taste.

It’s a recipe that enjoys variation!

Can I substitute marinara sauce or fresh tomatoes for tomato paste and just alter the amount?

if time allows, taste the wines at one of the local wineries or take in a performance at the university.

Comment on Il Vicoletto Wine and Food evening!! by Stefano

I ate there recently and here’s my evaluation:

At 1st we felt very welcome
Starter – very good – though very little bread offered
Then, couldn’t help notice all the flies – in my wine, starter etc – quite off putting!
Main course – pretty decent – I had the T-Bone – should have had the fillet – but it was fair enough
Didn’t have desert – was too full (nicely full though)
Ordered 2 espressos to finish the evening
Offered a digestivo, and had a nice grappa.

Then, the bill!! What a farce – an absolute rip off.
€3.00 for a bottle of everyday mineral water (Panna) – nonsense!
€3.00 for a single espresso – for an Italian restaurant to charge this is an insult!

My recommendation: unless you are a tourist willing to simply throw your money around Temlpe Bar like an idiot avoid this place until they sort out their charges.
It’s a homely place, not a classy place – the staff – a little overbearing, if not a wee bit annoying – and let’s face it: IT’S A RECESSION! €3.00 espresso is just shameful!

Btw: this is not an Italian run restaurant – so, like so many Italian ‘themed’ restaurants in Dublin – be sure to check, if you’re looking for the ‘real deal’.

I left this place feeling hard done by.

I got a bottle of Nero D’avola off you at the show, it was excellent. I’ll have to pop up to you and see what else you have
