Video recipes on iFoods
It has been so long since I have actually written anything on this blog so just to update you all here goes... I have quit the yachting business and am now working full time on the site iFoods.tv which is basically a place to teach people how to cook through the medium of video. We have over 130 video recipes already with more planned every day of the week. We also have a social networking element to the site where users can swap photos and interact with each other by uploading videos etc. So it is goodbye to the world of yachting and full on into the world of teaching people how to cook through video!

Jose Murhinho Quits shock Chelsea
Chelsea manages quits
Mourinho's position was the subject of continual scrutiny last season
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has sensationally left Stamford Bridge, according to BBC Radio 5live football correspondent Jonathan Legard.
The news comes just 24 hours after the disappointing Champions League draw against Rosenborg.
Legard understands that Mourinho has texted senior players, including skipper John Terry, with the news of his departure from Stamford Bridge.
There has been no official word so far from the Premier League club.
Mourinho joined Chelsea in the summer of 2004 and led them to the Premiership title in each of his first two seasons in charge.
Last season they finished runners-up to Manchester United but won both the FA Cup and Carling Cup, a trophy they had also collected in 2005.
His achievements also saw him voted as Premiership manager of the year in 2005 and 2006.
However the Champions League trophy eluded the club and this season's campaign started with Tuesday's shock 1-1 result against the Norwegians in front of a crowd of just 24,973.
It was their third successive game without a win following a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa and a goalless draw with Blackburn in the Premier League.
Those results have left Chelsea fifth in the table - two points behind leaders Arsenal and with a visit to Manchester United to come on Sunday.
Mourinho signed a five-year contract in 2005 and quashed speculation in January that he would leave Stamford Bridge in the summer by saying he was happy to see out his deal if he received "real support" from the club.

Castro might actually be alive!
Perez Hilton went with a worldwide scoop that Fidel Castro is Dead and it now seems he is back tracking! Although he may actually be dead how would a fat celebrity blogger know about it before Reuters, AP etc
Read below to see him exposed as a Liar
According to Channel 10 News in Miami:
Rumors circulating from Miami to North Carolina and calls coming in to Local 10 said an announcement would be coming from Cuba by the end of Friday that Fidel Castro is dead. While Local 10 doesn’t usually report on rumors, the magnitude of how far reaching this was couldn’t be ignored.
What may start as a whisper, quickly grows into a chorus of thousands.
The rumors have circulated for years. Usually every couple of months they’d start, but in the past week, the rumors have been in overdrive.
Local 10 called its contacts at the White House. Spokespeople there said they were aware of “no change in Cuba.” A spokesperson of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said “it’s all rumor and that Castro is fine.”
An ABC news source in Cuba said all is quiet in Havana and as far as he knows, no announcement is pending.
In fact, the president of the Cuban National Assembly Ricardo Alarcon is reported to be on the beach in Varadero and would presumably be in Havana if a major announcement was imminent.
Local 10’s assignment desk also contacted police departments , which said they are monitoring the situation and taking it very seriously. Miami police said they are in contact with the FBI “hourly.”

Fidel castro dead
It is being reported through blogs at this stage that Fidel Castro is dead. It will be announced within the next couple of hours and of all people Perez Hilton "broke" it!
We don't know if we should be happy or sad. This is one of the best countries in the world and it will be interesting to see how it plays out!
Perezhilton claims Fidel Castro is Dead, announcement in Miami 1 hour, no networks reporting this but blogs buzzing
Police in Miami are only holding off to make sure people do not flood the streets of Miami. Why is no major network covering this yet? Have they had too many false warnings? If you can get to Miami this weekend go!! Go now! This will be the biggest party the world has seen in years!
iFoods new site
Here is the new site! If anybody wants to put these buttons on their site we would be eternally grateful!

Back in the real world
Well folks I'm back in Sunny Ireland and that is no lie, after a month's non stop rain it is actually sunny today! I've spent the last month in wonderful castle Leslie up in castle Monaghan filming for the forthcoming iFoods which was pretty exciting but very very tiring! The good news is that we have 100 videos in the can and are in the post production stage now! Basically in 6 weeks we will be up and running! There is a huge amount of work to be done but we are getting there! I'll continue this blog and have regular video posts on our progress. Things should be getting exciting soon with lots of PR including radio, newspapers and TV so you'll be able to follow that all here!
Other good news is that my uncle has just delivered the first check to the orphanage in Zimbabwe and they were very very thankful. They are using it to feed children as we speak and have just posted a letter of thanks to me which i will share with you all as soon as get it. Keep the donations coming! Now that I Have my feet back on firm ground i am going to step up the fundraising efforts as well with a few events on the horizon.
So lots happening, once again sorry about the lack of posts but working 16 hour days filming in a castle with no internet was literally like being stuck in the middle ages!

Leaving the boats
Well it all came to an end today and i finished working on boats forever! Well i suppose you never say never but if the business goes well the next time i'll be on a yacht is hopefully as an owner and not cooking for others!
I woke up early this morning and went to the airport in St Thomas in the US virgin island to get my flight to puerto rico. I looked at my boarding card and knew it wasn't a good sign when under my "seat number" was written.....co pilot, no jokinh i swear! Basically it turned out to be a 6 seater plane and there i was literally sitting with my face pushed up against the windscreen!
At one stage my knee actually bumped into one of the leavers and the captain got a bit ratty with me! Anyway i survived and got to Puerto Rico and caught my conecting flight to NY!
I've just come back from a quick walk around times square, Maddison Square garden and a bot of shopping! Stumbled upon a little traditional Irish Pub in the middle of all the madnes here and got a great pint of guinness and a roast turkey dinner! There are hundreds of wonderful places to eat and i end up in a pub! I guess i am jut fed up of cooking fancy food for the past 6 months and wanted something traditional!
So i'm off to get a good night sleep as tomorrow i'm going to try and see as much of this great city as possible!
Sad to have left yachts but looking forward to the future! Filming starts in 6 days!
