Trainer Sara Ryan looks to farewell Domeland in style ahead of big move
Sara Ryan believes Aix En Provence and Salt Lake City can bounce back and provide a city winner on Saturday as she prepares to finish up as Domeland head trainer and look to her own 'very, very promising' stable. Ryan, who has three runners on the Randwick program, is set to go it alone next month after six years with the Central Coast-based operation of Chinese businessman YP Cheng. She will retain her training boxes on the course at Wyong, with Domeland moving to others at the track. Domeland, which has a 260-acre base at nearby Kulnura, is yet to appoint a replacement. 'We are still working out the final details,' said Ryan, who won the 2023 $3 million Big Dance with Attractable and this year's $1 million Provincial Midway Championship with Matcha Latte. 'I think they are in the last stages of selecting an applicant and, obviously, I'll stay with Domeland until that process is done. 'It's probably going to end up in the middle of August, but I'm very excited for what's to come. 'I'm very grateful for everything Domeland gave me, but it's time to try and do this on my own. 'I've got my boxes here, and then it's the process of setting up a new team, but that will come, and I know how to do it. I've done it once before so it shouldn't take too long.

Life Hack: How to make an iced matcha latte at home, including strawberry puree
If you've popped into a coffee shop lately, you may notice a new section on many of their menus. Once a nation of tea and coffee drinkers, now we're all going mad for matcha. Many years ago, very much in a pre-pandemic Cork, I ordered my first ever matcha latte at the Insomnia café in Debenhams in Mahon Point – I knew it wasn't a common order from the confused look on the barista's face but it was listed on their menu and I'd been hearing things about a green tea that gives more of an energy boost than caffeine, along with other health benefits. Soon, I was presented with a bright green latte that didn't look like it would be great. However, whether placebo effect or not, I did get an energy boost from it. It wasn't particularly expensive at the time (probably somewhere around the €3 mark, not far off a regular coffee price then) so from time to time I'd order one when popping in. However, between lockdowns and shop closures, my matcha habit fell away and I pretty much forgot about it until about 18 months ago. Matcha since has had a glow-up and is now one of the hottest items on a menu. Personally, I credit a few things for this new awareness: the increased popularity of iced drinks, many of us looking for healthier food and drink options, people sharing aesthetic snaps of their drinks on social media, and – most crucially – the addition of flavoured syrups to enhance the taste. I returned to matcha-buying over a year ago, picking up an iced matcha with strawberry syrup en route to an event. This extra burst of flavour was an instant improvement and I was almost convinced to get back into ordering matcha drinks – but the price made me pause. I had paid well over double what I had been used to for the drink. While delicious, it's not something I can justify purchasing regularly in a cost-of-living crisis. The natural solution for me was to instead learn how to make it at home and save a bomb. I experimented at home, buying matcha powder online. Many matcha drinkers insist a matcha whisk is a must for an authentic result, but for me, looking for a quick and easy option, a fork whisking in a cup did the trick in the short term. The matcha part was easy, in my experience: it was the syrup that stumped me. I tried a few different bottles of raspberry and strawberry syrups to get the taste I liked best without that artificial fruit taste. A dollop at the end of a glass, a handful of ice, your matcha mix, topped with your drink of choice (almond for me, I like the mix of flavours) and I was sorted. However, I've remained on the lookout for a nice homemade syrup recipe and last week one landed in my inbox. Galway-based Solaris Tea reached out with their recipe for an iced matcha last week and their strawberry puree is a simple to make and the perfect dose of sweetness for the drink. Enjoy! Solaris' Iced Matcha Latte Galway-based Solaris Tea's recipe for an iced matcha - their strawberry puree is a simple to make and the perfect dose of sweetness for the drink. Enjoy!

Bachi Karkaria's Erratica and its cheeky sign-off character, Alec Smart, have had a growing league of followers since 1994 when the column began in the Metropolis on Saturday. It now appears on the Edit Page of the Times of India, every Thursday. It takes a sly dig at whatever has inflated political/celebrity egos, and got public knickers in a twist that week. It makes you chuckle, think and marvel at the elasticity of the English language. It is a shooting-from-the-lip advice column to the lovelorn and otherwise torn, telling them to stop cribbing and start living -- all in her her branded pithy, witty style. LESS ... MORE Ticket to ride on the London Metro If Underground movements are your cuppa tea – or Matcha Latte – hop aboard. 'Mind the Gap between the train and the platform. This is the Jubilee Line to Stratford.' The canned announcer keeps up her reminder on every route and imminent stop. Try not to stare. The London Underground gives you a seatside view of Britain's multicultural reality. Plus summer tourist tsunami. In addition to surroundscape of the world's ethnicities, skin shades, body shapes, hair types, you get a Babel-grade surroundsound. TS Eliot updated to: 'In the compartment, women come and go, talking a polyglot lingo.' And, like across Britain, you are never 'far from the madding crowd' of Hardy local accents. As un-understandable. 'This is the Bakerloo Line to Elephant and Castle.' Try not to stare. Aided and abetted by current heatwave, less is more than an eyeful. Forget your Eng Lit (Hons) Keats, Shelley and whatever their words were worth. Barely-there shorts and tops have long been the 'cuckoo call of Spring'. Have a lark discreetly observing buttered skin on toasted legs. Or, more kosher-ly, marvel at the sartorial variety. Techie casual, banker formal, tourist classic to unclassifiable. Eliot again, 'Mornings, evenings, afternoons, I have measured out my train life in much more than Tee-spoons. Don't stare. Read your phone or free copy of 'Metro'. Or compartment ads for youthful cheeks and mature cheese. Or a pithy gem from Poems on the Underground. Or Transport For London's omnipresent safety signs, 'See It, Say It, Sorted' for suspicious movement, and the '61016' text to report sexual harassment. Or simply the caution to 'Carry water in hot weather.' 'This is the Circle Line via Tower Hill. The next stop is Sloane Square'. But no '90s Sloaney sashays aboard. Only tired Mum struggling with perambulator. Or tired tourist struggling with suitcase coz next stop is rail junction Victoria. Never seen is tired cliché of bowler-hatted toff with tightly furled brolly and copy of FT. Though, in this Ascot season, plenty of women in fancy frocks and fancier hats/ ascinators teetering on 'the District Line to Richmond' en route to National Rail. Mostly it's Eastbound, Westbound. 'Change here for the Whatever Line to Royal Albert Hall/ Museums/ Monument/Heathrow. The Underground is a spoked hub. Not 'Way Out', but way towards. As in 'Xanadu' (Coleridge poem not Newton-John song), we move 'Through caverns measureless to man,/ Down to' Platform 1/2/3/4. And await the resounding roar which will finally take us to the 'pleasure dome that Kubla Khan aka Lonely Planet did decree'. Or to an enticing business-op. Or, best of all, a catch-up with old friends. *** Alec Smart said: 'In political football, it's 'Bend it Like Hindi'.'
