Sounds delicious doesn’t it? Well, it is and it’s really easy to make.

Mix up some mustard and honey, quantity isn’t important, just go by taste until you’re happy. The next step is to rub the ‘sauce’ on the uncooked piece of beef and then place it in the oven at 180 and cook until desired. I would recommend medium rare.

Remove the beef from the oven and place in a casserol dish. Take the left over honey/mustard ‘sauce’ which has dripped off the beef during the cooking phase and add red wine to it. Once again, the quantity is totally up to you. Place the honey/mustard/red wine combination into a pan and cook it until it forms a thickish sauce.

Drizzle the sauce over the steak and you’re ready to eat! A glass of red wine will go really well with this meal.

Delicious, yet simple, if you know a recipe, please share it here :)

Enjoy!

A grasshopper is a sweet, mint-flavored, after-dinner drink. The name of the drink is derived from its green color which is provided by the Crème de menthe.

- 2.0 cl Fresh cream

Mixing instructions:

In a shaker filled with ice cubes, combine the Crème de menthe, creme de cacao, and fresh cream. Shake well for about 6-8 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Hurricane cocktail recipe..

Probably one of the most popular drinks and also the easiest drinks, the B52.

- 1/3 shot kahlua
- 2/3 shot Baileys Irish Cream
- drizzle grand marnier
- Layer Baileys over kahlua and then drizzle Grand Marnier on top.

It’s really as simple as that! Another very popular shot is the blow job, which is made like this:

1 part whipped cream
1 part kahlua
1 part Baileys Irish Cream
1 part vodka

Layer in order into shot glass. Remember, the whole idea behind the blow job is that you’re meant to shoot it without any hands!

Dash out, get the ingredients and treat your friends to a couple shots next time they pop in.

Summer is here, yup, it’s definitely here, the weather is beautiful, all the ladies look stunning and the vibe is fantastic, it’s going to be an amazing festive season all around!

One of the Facebook Applications I was involved with the development and managing of, through FormFunction, was Clink-To-Win. This Facebook application ran a competition giving away many cases of wine to various users and the first round of winners was announced a week or two back, but I came across a blog post showing gratitude, which for me is so fantastic!
