Dirty Blues Martini Recipie

I work with hr systems and sometime they do not work the way they should which can be frustration. By the end of the day I often feel like having a drink just to unwind. I usually opt for a Dirty Blues martini. Here is my personal recipe for this really great drink.

The ingredients that you will need are: a bottle of vodka. You will also need to have a bottle of vermouth. More

Mai Tai Drink Is To Die For

Went out partying recently and had a Mai Tai drink that was to die for. So when I got home the next day I searched for a recipe. I did my version of it and ad it after the dinner I warmed up in two toasters.

Now making the perfect Mai Tai drink can be really difficult if you don’t know the proper recipe. You are going to love the following recipe More

Drink cider and be healthy

Unfortunately, this post isn’t about some great new discovery that glugging several bottles of Kopparberg a night will help you live to a ripe old age; rather it’s singing the praises of one of my most recent food discoveries – apple cider vinegar.
Unlike other fancy types of vinegar, however, this one isn’t for cooking but is useful for its amazing and varied health properties. Name any medical condition, and there is probably some research somewhere that says a More

Goat Herder Pie

I am really trying to make exciting meals to eat during the week, but it has proven to be challenging as all I want after a long day is some toasted hovis and a tin of soup. What I have found to be a great compromise is to make cool pies at the beginning of the week, and freeze some and keep others in the refrigerator ready to pop into the oven when I get home. I am personally absolutely More

Sandwiches

I stupidly agreed to host a mid week dinner party again, and I am at a complete loss as to what to make. I want my guest to feel welcomed and nurtured, yet I will have probably only half an hour from the time that I return from work until my first guest arrives.

I look for inspiration everywhere, and was staring at an advert for hovis bread when I came up with a maybe not so brilliant idea of More

Lost Bread

In the United States they call it french toast, in France they call it Pain Perdu or lost bread, in the UK it is eggy bread. Whatever you call it, though, every culture has a strategy to make something from that leftover bit of hovis bread that is getting stale. The trick for the gastro master is to make it into something so much more.

The basic concept is take a piece of slightly stale bread and soaking it More

Edible perks of the (service industry) job

I’m motivated more by food than I am by anything else. Of course I’m motivated by money – that pays the bills, pays for travel and pays for food – but if there was a job which offered me a meagre wage of a few hundred pounds a month, but which allowed me to eat good, quality food for every meal, I’d seize it with enormous enthusiasm.

So often, though, this is not the case. Generally when working, the food More

Eating out of Depression

During the recent past I have realized that one sure way to cheer up is to have some delicious food. I am not sure if I get depressed because I am hungry or it’s just that I feel better when I eat. There are different kind of depressions, starting from normal depression, mild depression and severe depression. And most of them in between the mild and severe depression have a direct or an indirect relation with eating disorders.

As per More

Lager Lager

I love beer. I mean, I really love it. Alright, maybe just lager. Not ale. And I can’t drink much of it because I get intoxicated really, really easily. In other words, I’m a lightweight. And to be truthful, I can’t tell the difference between different brands of lager apart from Carling and Fosters. (Carling should be re-branded Carling A.K.A Bathwater and Fosters should be Fosters Funny Taste And Far Too Fizzy.) For me, lager is a summer drink. More
