Forecast web app

Leave a reply

I’m a bit of a weather geek and had been a little bit disappointed that the Dark Sky iPhone app wasn’t available in Australia, well disappointment be gone! The team behind Dark Sky has brought their magic forecasting algorithm to a new shiny web app, Forecast.

The app’s location awareness is pretty spot on, and so is their forecasting (kind of important for a weather app right). You can save your locations too for faster reference when you load / open the app. Go check it out!

Pro Tip: If you load it up on your iDevice you can of course save it as an app, the app icon is quite nifty too.

A very quick throw together recipe for this one;

  • I generally allow 7-8 King Prawns per person (for a main meal, less for an entree)
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic paste, or 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chilli paste, or 1 chilli finely sliced and deseeded
  • 1 handful of green beans, topped and tailed
  • 1/2 a red onion, sliced finely
  • 1 handful of snow peas, topped and tailed

3/4 cook the King Prawns in a small amount of oil in a Wok With the garlic and chilli, then set aside.
Cook the onions for a minute in the wok before adding in the green beans and snow peas, then cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the King Prawns back to the wok with the vegetables, stir fry for 1-2 minutes, or till the King Prawns are a nice shade of pink.

Serve it up with some salad or some rice depending on the taste you’re going for.

Enjoy!
