As promised here is the second installment in my quest to bring you some of the most humorous after-dinner tales, as told by some of Britain's most famous sporting legends.
Last month I wrote about an after-dinner tale as told by ex-footballer and pundit Rodney Marsh.
Today I am turning to the sport of international rugby union and an after-dinner sports tale told by the former England international and British Lion Wade Dooley, the 6'8" tall second row forward, who won 55 caps, was a World Cup finalist in 1991 and won the Grand Slam with England in 1991 and 1992.
Here is one amusing excerpt from a speech made by Wade at a sporting dinner.
"After England's Grand Slam victory against France at Twickenham in 1991, amid the post-match changing room disarray and celebrations, the mighty Mick 'The Munch' Skinner decides to take an early bath so that he can get on the beer undisturbed.
The changing room door opens and the then Prime Minister John Major (a keen rugby follower) is escorted in by the President of the RFU to congratulate the victorious England team.
The first person they meet is a very naked Mick Skinner emerging from the bath/shower area, busily drying himself off with towel in his left hand while attending to his vanity, jiggling his lunchbox/meat and two veg with his right hand.
John Major is confronted by Mick who holds out his right hand and greets the PM with the welcome: 'Yo John! Top man, large, bosh, put it there, how's it hanging?' (Mick always talks in Geordie code like that).
To the horror of the RFU President and the amusement of the England players - and all credit to the Prime Minister who must have momentarily considered a quick exit - John Major took the hand that had seconds earlier been in contact with Mickey Skinner's lunchbox and retorted, 'Obviously not as well as you, Mr. Skinner'."

I mentioned in another post that I kind of liked this one, but couldn't find any in the local stores. Well, guess what, one of the stores had recently gotten a new shipment of Monster beverages. This one tastes a bit different from the other Monster drinks. It tastes like a mix between a tropical juice and a standard monster. Let me know if I am wrong, but I detect mango and orange flavouring, which might also explain the color of the M on the can - orange. I like the taste and that it is more like a fruit beverage than an energy drink. The one thing I do not enjoy is the cough syrup" undertone. If you are drinking it fast, the undertone may not become apparent, but as soon as you start taking small sips, it will. On the positive side, the cough syrup taste does not stay for long as it is overpowered by the taste of the fruit juices. I would also prefer the juice to not be as sweet, but what can you do? Diet version? I don't think a diet one will taste as good, it might be even worse.
As for the energy, it is there. You get the same kick as with any other Monster. The can contains 150 mg of caffeine which can boost your energy levels in several different ways - gulping down the drink, which will result in some jitters, or drinking it slowly, which will deliver small bursts of energy with just the possibility of some jitters.

My dear Sister-in-Law posted this recipe, and I thought that all of you would enjoy it. These Chocolate Chip Cheese Bars are to die for! Here is a copy of her post.......
First of all, I don't usually post recipes because I am the worst at following them. I get it from my mom- she calls it the "Football Rules of cooking- unlimited substitutions." My mom probably gets it from her mom. I have recipes from my grandma that actually call for a glug of milk, or a glug of oil. I look at recipes more as suggestions or guidelines, then do my own thing. Sometimes things turn out really good, and sometimes... not so good. My husband likes the way I cook, so I guess that's good enough. I discovered allrecipes.com and found that there are a lot of cooks out there like me. It makes me laugh when I read the comments, and someone says they didn't like the recipe that much, and that they substituted rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar and left out the ginger or doubled all the spices... BTW, I do follow baking and canning recipes.
Anyway, my sister-in-law made these yummy bars earlier this year, and passed the recipe along.
Chocolate Chip Cheese Bars
2 cups of your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe (or 1 tube refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough) 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg
Divide cookie dough in half. For crust, press half of the dough onto the bottom of a greased 8 X 8 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth. Spread over crust. Crumble remaining dough over top. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
I doubled the recipe, and cooked it in a 9 X 13 pan.
Here's the recipe I like for Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1 c white sugar 1 c brown sugar 1 c butter flavored shortening (or 1/2 c shortening and 1/2 c butter) 3 eggs 1 t vanilla 1 t salt 1 t soda 3 cups flour 1 bag chocolate chips
Cream together sugars, and shortening. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add dry ingredients then chocolate chips. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes.

In my hands, I am hold the last formula of the HyDrive Energy drinks - Electrolyte Formula - which is lemon lime flavoured.
The beverage smells a lot like lemonade, but does not have that intense and sour lemonade flavour. It starts off watery, like the Strength Formula, but the taste builds up by the end of each sip. Half way through each sip, lemon and lime flavours start to emerge and by the end they are fully noticeable. Strangely, another flavour emerges at the finish - tangerine. It sounds strange, but this is what the finish tastes to me like. You can almost compare the taste to the yellow Gatorade, but once you drink at least half the bottle of HyDrive, the taste builds up and starts to differ from Gatorade. Like the other HyDrive formulas, the taste becomes more intense and flavour-rich, yet not very sweet. The Electrolyte Formula was enjoyable and easy to drink, but it wasn't my favorite HyDrive in terms of the taste. I would have enjoyed it more if the initial taste was made more flavourful.
You guessed it, this HyDrive formula contains 145 mg of caffeine. The unique ingredients are Magnesium, Chloride and Phosphorous. Within 30 minutes I started to get the already familiar feeling of clean and gradual build up of energy with my energy levels peaking 15 minutes later. I felt calm and very focused for 15 - 20 minutes right as my energy was peaking and plateauing. I was at this peak plateau for a good 3 hours after which I came back down, but did not crash.
The HyDrive Energy series was one of my favorite energy drink series, if not the favorite. Each formula has unique ingredients and every single one tasted great. Most other energy drink series have good flavours and bad flavours, but all the HyDrive formulas were consistently good. The energy kick was about the same with each flavour and though the caffeine content was not the highest, at 145 mg, the ingredients in the energy blend worked together to provide a few hours of clean energy with no jitters or a crash. It was an absolute pleasure to try all of the formulas and I hope the company expands their business into Canada.
I went to a different 7-11 last night to see if they have anything different. I came out with a Beaver Buzz Energy Drink, the Core one. I really didn't know what to expect from a drink with a Core flavour. This Beaver Buzz cost me $2.59 CAD, which is $0.60 CAD more than what Shoppers Drug Mart sells them for.
The easiest way to describe this is to say that it tastes like the regular Monster. This beverage even has the same yellow color. There is a slight difference in taste though, the Beaver Buzz Core does not have the same, strong cough syrup taste. It is still present, but it is very mild. Also, this one taste a bit sweeter than Monster, but the sweetness does not last long. If you gulp it down real quick, you will experience a taste that is very sweet towards the end, but it fades away very fast in the aftertaste. Weird. Another subtle difference is the slight sour aftertaste once the sweetness has gone away.
Now, about the energy boost. There are two labels on the back and of course the two list different caffeine amounts. Before you say that they list the caffeine on different basis, they do not. Both the labels give caffeine amounts on a per can basis. One gives 100 mg caffeine, the other 150 mg. Also, both the labels give ginseng, guarana and taurine amounts so it is not like the greater caffeine amount already includes the caffeine from the ginseng and guarana extracts. If you know anything about this difference in caffeine content, let me know.
Scores: Cost - $2.59 CAD from 7-11 Taste - 6.9/10...not a big fan of the Monster taste, but I am giving this one a slightly higher score because of the subtle differences Energy - 7.2/10
Overall - 14.1/20...not bad, but you might want to try the Berry Beaver Buzz or the Green Tea Beaver Buzz

Side dishes truly make your Holiday meal! The great thing is that you don't have to slave all day to have great side dishes. We've provided two versions of the always popular green bean casserole; including a healthier version (which I actually prefer).
Classic Green Bean Casserole
Ingredients: 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup 3/4 cup milk 2 (9 ounce) packages frozen green beans 1 1/3 cups French-fried onions ground black pepper to taste
Directions: In a 1-1/2 quart casserole mix soup, milk, and pepper. Stir in beans and 2/3 cup french fried onions.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until heated through, stir. Top with remaining 2/3 cup of french fried onions. Bake 5 minutes more or until the onions are golden.
Ingredients: 2 pounds of thin green beans, trimmed 1/4 cup of olive oil 1 cup of whole almonds with skin, coarsely chopped 1-1/2 tablespoons of finely grated fresh lemon zest 1 large garlic clove, minced 1-1/2 cups of coarsely chopped parsley leaves
Directions: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat until it is hot but be sure it is not smoking. Add almonds and toast. Stir constantly until they are golden brown in color, approximately four minutes. Transfer the almond mixture to a small bowl and stir in freshly grated lemon zest and the minced garlic clove. Allow mixture to cool.
Add parsley. If you want some extra seasoning, add some salt, pepper or other seasoning. Set aside.
Next, cook the green beans in a pot of boiling salted water until they are tender, approximately eight minutes. Drain the water from the green beans and place in serving dish. If you want to season the green beans, do so now with salt, pepper, or any other seasoning. Add some of the almond sauce to the green beans. You can serve the rest of the sauce on the side. Makes 8 servings.
Here is the cake that I've been working on this week. 3 Tiers of white cake with raspberry filling. I made the daisies out of fondant. This cake was a lot of fun to make!

Hello and welcome to the second leg of my 'special' edition guest blog. I am going to be previewing this week's 2nd leg play-off fixtures, and in particular those games involving Championship sides. Drama, nerves and excitement are guaranteed, but hopefully I can also try and win you some cash with my best bet tips.
I told you last Wednesday predicting the play-off was hard, and as if to prove the point a narrow victory for Burnley was the only game I got right! Here’s hoping for better luck this week:
Sheff United v Preston - 2nd leg
Mon 11th May KO 19.45 LIVE ON SKY SPORTS
It is still all to play for at Bramall Lane after the two sides couldn’t be separated in the first game at Deepdale. Sean St Ledger gave Preston the lead only to be pegged by back Brian Howard minutes into the second half. With no away goals rule this one could go all the way to penalty kicks.
It is almost too close to call but I am going to stick my neck out and tips United to go through - but only after extra time or penalties. I think it will be level after the 90 minutes. 1-1 draw @ 15/2
Reading v Burnley - 2nd leg
Tuesday 12th May KO 19.45 LIVE ON SKY SPORTS
Despite having an array of attacking talent on show, Saturday’s first leg failed to live up to expectations. The game looked to be heading for a bore draw until a moment of madness by Andre Bikey. The Reading defender inexplicably pulled back Stephen Thompson in the area with only six minutes of the match remaining. Referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the spot, and Graham Alexander duly converted the penalty to give the Clarets a vital first-leg lead.
Steve Coppell's Reading team are in poor form of late, and they will have to produce a much improved performance on Tuesday night if they want to progress any further. Meanwhile Owen Coyle's Burnley have been going great guns of late, and I fancy them to grind out a draw at the Madejski Stadium, and book themselves a place at Wembley on May 25th. O-O draw @ 10/1
The Best Of The Rest: Eight other teams face off this week in the race to earn promotion from Leagues One and Two.
Here are my predictions:
Home wins: Sunday 10th May KO 18.30 Gillingham v Rochdale Thursday 14th May KO 19.45 Leeds v Millwall
Draws: Sunday 10th May KO Noon Bury v Shrewsbury Friday 15th May KO 19.45 MK Dons v Scunthorpe

I went to the local IGA today to see what new and exciting local beverages they have. The last time I was there they were selling bottled water in corn starch bottles. I am not one to buy bottled water, but I just wanted to snatch a bottle and watch it decompose over the next several months. Well guess what, they didn’t have any in stock and I was forced to look for something else. I saw a shelf with a few different kinds of treehugger organic juices. Right away I thought that treehugger started selling organic juices, but the bottle had nothing that can link the juice to the blog. A bit disappointed I decided to buy it out of curiosity. It costs $2.99 CAD and for that much you can easily buy a whole carton of orange juice…and for an extra $1-$2 you can have a whole carton of delicious Tropicana.
Well I cannot taste anything spectacular. It tastes like a plain Minute Maid orange juice to me. Taste-wise it cannot even compare to Tropicana. The back of the label does state that this is nothing more than concentrated organic orange juice with some water. I wouldn’t say the orange juice is completely disappointing, just not worth the $2.99 CAD. It doesn’t taste bad, it just doesn’t taste as good as Tropicana. I really don’t care if it is organic or not, all I care about is the taste. I am not sure if it is the manufacturer who sells the juice to IGA for that much or if it is IGA who raise the price. If you know anything about this let me know. For now, I say it is too expensive for what it is.
Scores: Cost - $2.99 CAD Taste - 7.0/10...I like orange juice, but this is just average

Just wandering thru some of my cookbooks and my personal pile of recipes and thought Id post a few today. The first one is Kalamata Olive Pesto that I created for the restaurant where I worked. We served it as an appetizer over scallion fettuccine. You could make this and just use regular fettuccine and toss in fresh sliced scallions to approximate the flavor. My ex and I were out one day and the car radio was on. There were food reviews and restaurant reviews on at that time and Narsai David was reviewing some. He is a local famous chef and celebrity out here. I got so excited because suddenly I realized he was reviewing my dish from the restaurant! And he just loveddddddddd it . omg omg omg Boy did that make my day! So here it is. .....
KALAMATA OLIVE PESTO Makes 2c. 9oz. black Kalamata olives, pitted 1 fresh red chili 2in. long. or chili flakes 2 garlic cloves 2 shallots 3/4 tsp. minced fresh thyme 3/4 tsp. red wine vinegar 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil 1/4c. lemon juice 1 small bunch of chives If olives are not pitted, remove pits first. Stores are now carrying pitted Kalamata olives tho so that would save tons of time if you can find them. Put all ingredients into food processor and blend well. Refrigerate. Use on french bread with goat cheese or on pasta.
I made a Greek style appetizer out of this one time for a party at my house. I set this out in one of those divided dishes... one had the olive pesto in it, one had dried tomatoes in oil in it and another had crumbled feta cheese in it. You could also just use roasted red peppers too instead of the tomatoes. I had a basket next to it filled with plain sliced baguette and everyone made their own nibbles. It was a huge hit.
But this could be used on pasta with maybe artichokes in it or as a spread on sandwiches too. Or roll it up in some puff pastry from the store and bake it for appetizers. Or you could make it into a nice tart for lunch or a party. Just make a pastry crust and line it with some olive pesto and top with fresh garden tomatoes, a lil S&P, some fresh thyme sprigs and drizzle with more olive oil, then bake.....yum. You could even roll out some bread dough and spread this on it , roll up and bake for an awesome bread for your meal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another thing this would be good on is this next sandwich. I found this years ago at a Trader Joes Market out here. I had it once and never saw it again. But I loved it so much as I ate it I dissected the ingredients and made a list so I could make it myself later on. It was a Greek Salad Sandwich, and its vegan ,,,,,no meat! and trust me you wont even miss it. I'm not a vegan but I don't mind eating that way once in a while. This was awesome tho.
GREEK SALAD SANDWICH For each sandwich you need: 1 ciabatta roll, it needs to be crusty peasant type bread like this if you cant find ciabattas. feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, sliced Kalamata olives, chopped green peppers, sliced red onion, chopped pepperonicini peppers, Basil, Mint and Oregano. Equal parts lemon juice and olive oil for a dressing. Slice bread, layer all veggies on it. Top with cheese. Make dressing with lemon juice, olive oil and herbs. Drizzle over sandwich and put top of sandwich on and eat. You could also stuff this into a pita pocket. It would be really tasty too with leaves of fresh basil in it. This would be a great sandwich to use that olive pesto in instead of sliced olives.

This particular pinoy recipe, which I learned from Ate Malou, is very rich and delicious.

This is not your ordinary Italian carbonara sauce. I know that carbonara sauce originates from Italy, but this one is way better. I say that this is a pinoy recipe not only because I learned this from the Philippines, but also is very different from the Italian style. This is different from the way they do it and most of all, the ingredients. I personally havent tried the Italian style yet, but I could say just by looking at the ingredients that this pinoy recipe of carbonara sauce taste a lot lot better. I could be wrong though. I might try the Italian style next time just to see.
But anyway, this pinoy recipe of carbonara sauce is perfect for special occasions or even just for simple gatherings. Every time I get invited to a party, this recipe has been the most requested food for me to bring. So, I can say its really good. My husband, once again, likes it a lot. He never had this until I came here and cook it for him, and he was very impressed, and of course, I was very glad that he likes it.
I cant really tell which is the key ingredient to this recipe. Its not only the bacon, heavy whipping cream, or the cheese. I think its the combination of all. And the combination of the ingredients makes it perfect. There was one time that I forgot to put the cheese. It still turned out good though, but not as good as what I was expecting it to be. So yes, the cheese plays a great part when it comes to flavoring. Same thing with the heavy whipping cream. I tried using just regular milk before ( I ran out of heavy whipping cream) but it didnt come out right. So I guess the key to making this particular pinoy recipe perfect is having all the ingredients together. No more, no less.

Title: Southern Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
It just isn't a fall holiday without a sinful sweet potato casserole. This recipe makes fluffy, creamy sweet potatoes seasoned with fall spices and topped with a cinnamon pecan streusel topping!
Forget recipes that just season the sweet potatoes with sugar, these fresh sweet potatoes are baked in the oven before getting whipped to light, creamy perfection with a mixer. They are then seasoned with white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, light cream, and butter!! HEAVEN!!!!

If that wasn't enough, these sweet potatoes are topped with a yummy, crunch topping of chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, butter and cinnamon and baked to a golden brown beauty!
Sweet potato casserole makes the perfect dish for holidays or sunday dinners. It taste great hot and cold.
Once I had the Lemon Lime one, I just had to have the Original. I wanted to know how sparkling maté tastes. I got it from the same place for the same price - $1.75 CAD.
This one is a bit darker in color, like pale gold. It is hard to describe the taste of the original one if you haven't had real maté before, because it tastes a lot like it, but with a lot of sugar and some citric acid. The taste is sweet with a bit of a sour undertone. The finish is very refreshing and a bit sour. The aftertaste in the long run is very dull, you can taste something, but you don't quite know what it is. It is still very refreshing. I like this one too, but in the future I will stick to the Lemon Lime one as the lemon/lime combo gives it a nice twist.
This one has the same amount of caffeine - 60 mg per bottle. I had this one in the evening and it gave a nice boost to go do some things. The effect wore off just in time for bed. Don't expect a huge boost, just enough to get by for a while.
Scores: Cost - $1.75 CAD for a 296 mL bottle Taste - 8.5/10 Energy - 6/10
Overall - 14.5/20...a natural, great tasting beverage with enough caffeine to give you a boost for a short duration of time

Title: TOA O SAMOA VS MATE MA'A TONGA (RLWC 2008)
Rugby League World Cup 2008: Toa Samoa beats Mate Ma'a Tonga. Samoa defeats Tonga 20-12 in World Cup match proving to be too strong for Tonga.
Center George Carmont's try the only scoring of the second half helped Samoa to a 20-12 win over Tonga on Friday in a Pacific Islands grudge match at the Rugby League World Cup.
Tonga, which beat Ireland 22-20 in its opening match Monday, had the bulk of early possession but trailed 10-0 at Penrith in western suburban Sydney. It was Samoa's first match of the tournament.
Captain Nigel Vagana scored a 90-meter intercept try and Bulldogs National Rugby League star Matt Utai added a second as Samoa led 14-12 halftime after winger Francis Meli had given Samoa a 4-0 lead after three minutes.
Tonga hooker Tevita Leo-Latu scored his team's first try and center Michael Jennings the other after taking a flick pass from Tony Williams, who provided Tonga's other points with two goals.
The match featured several big hits and crunching tackles. Samoan prop Kylie Leulau'i was placed on report by referee Shayne Hayne for a high tackle on Tonga fullback Fetuli Talanoa in the first half.
The prelude to the match between the traditional rivals was fiery. The singers of the national anthems walked off arm in arm with their national flags in a show of unity, but there was nothing friendly about the threatening war dances each team performed minutes later.
Samoa did their war dance the Siva Tau at the same time screaming out Samoan War Cries proceeding from their 35-meter line up to 50. They stood at the halfway line while Tonga did their Sipi Tau, but despite much screaming, mock slitting of throats and swordplay, order prevailed as neither team crossed the midfield line.
At halftime, several players exchanged heated words as they trotted to the sidelines.
The last 10 minutes featured good scoring chances by each team before costly turnovers ended the threats.
At the end of the match, fans invaded the pitch, forcing a television interview with Michael Jennings of Tonga to be cut short when spectators began jostling with the interviewer and Jennings.
Overall both teams played a hard, tough and entertaining game. Everyone kept their heads. Literally!
