Jamie Oliver Shaker
Jamie Oliver Shaker sounds like a useful gadget to have about the kitchen.
With Christmas just around the corner I have been thinking about buying a present for my wife. Someone mentioned the Jamie Oliver Shaker which extracts flavour from herbs, nuts, leaves etc..
They say it is great for producing pastes and dressings for vegatables and meat dishes.
Marinades were also mentioned.
But then I read a few blogs where some customers had complained about the shaker breaking easily.
I mst admit that I also read quite a few blogs which were very complimentary to the flavour shaker
Mamma Mia Musical
Have just been given a present of tickets for mamma mia and am really looking forward to this show.
Having enjoyed the music of Abba for so many years, I never got a chance to see them live on stage and I suppose this is going to be the nearest to that experience.
They won the Eurovision song contest over 35 years ago with their entry Waterloo which went on to become a smash hit for them. They originally called the song Honey Pie for some strange reason. Glad they changed their minds.
With more than 20 of their hits in the show, this musical should not be missed.

4 Hour Work Week on Audio Book

It is possible to work a 4 hour work week but getting to that point is a lot of work or you could just write a book to tell everyone how to do it and make the money off of the sales. The thing is that you can’t expect to instantly start working for a measly 4 hours a week right of the bat. You have to have some way of making money first, and something that doesn’t take your input. This is called passive income.
