Cooking With Bert - Make Your Own Pasta Sauce

Master chef, Gordon Ramsey, Raymond Blanc, Heston Blumenthal...I am not...but one thing I do know is that I like to cook!


I enjoy making something out of nothing...when you open the fridge and make something up out of things you probably forgot you had in there.  But then those that know me well, know that doesn't happen very often.  

Some say...that I can only clean my windows at night.........and that I eat laptops for breakfast...all we know...is that i'm called Bert! LOL  (for those that don't watch Top Gear, that joke is wasted).

Kitchen or Living Room Shockout

Hi

If you have tracks old or new that can make the hairs on your arm stand on end and help lift dampended spirits, the kind that get you dancing round the kitchen or living room or reliving old clubbing memories, then please post links to them in the comments section below.....come on...share the vibe.

Enjoy

Yum...Roast Beef

Hi Everyone

So last week i had two of my best buddies over from California, Todd Tichonchuk and Kevin Brewster.

I naturally showed them some of the sights... and drank some beer...but I just had to cook them a traditional English roast Beef dinner.

A New Year...A New You...But Why Only Now?

Welcome to 2012 and a Happy New Year to all of you!  I hope the festive season was a happy one with lots of quality time spent with the ones you love.

So now that 2011 is behind us and the fresh new dawn of 2012 awaits…I ask you…why have you waited until now to decide to do new things or to stop doing certain things?

Making New Year’s resolutions, generally speaking, almost always end up in failure.  Why?  In my humble opinion it’s because we put ourselves under too much pressure and in the spot light of our friends and family by emphasizing what goals we are setting ourselves at the time that everyone else is and we tell everyone.  We usually set ourselves huge tasks with unrealistic timeframes.  So why have you decided to do them just because it’s a new year?  If they are that important to you, why have you waited?  What stopped you?  If you want to set goals, set them throughout the year, spread them out, set short term, mid-term and long term goals with checkpoints along the way.
