Welcome to my contribution to the internet or rather one of my contributions to the internet.
For a living I am an IT Manager for a medium sized company managing a team of 4, although I actually spend most of my time developing web based data solutions.
Outside of work I have just finished renovating our house, it took just over two years to completely gut and refurbish, including new kitchen, two bathrooms, removing several walls and fireplaces. Having finished the house I have moved on to the garden where I'm trying to create fruit and veg beds, this is to fuel one of my passions: food.
Not only do I like eating good food I also enjoy cooking especially creating. Some of these creations (well the successful ones) make it onto the blog. Quite often I will when I get home be presented with a portion of meat by my wife which I then have to turn into a healthy low fat meal.
Along with cooking healthy meals from scratch I do enjoy a good meal out whether it is simple pub grub, fine dining or a fantastical feast. I also like having friends round for dinner, from a classic Sunday roast to an all day barbeque using the outside oven I built.
There's still a bit of work to do to make it presentable but as a functioning oven and barbeque its all there.
