If you want to become a master in your kitchen it is absolutely essential to learn how to make the basic elements. Today I have chosen a white sauce. You can use this base sauce for various dishes including cabonara, volevaunts, white parsley sauce for a cooked silverside, ontop of grilled fish etc.
The base for this recipe is pretty simple.
Ingreedients
1-2 tbsp butter
1-2 tbsp plain flour
1-2 cups of milk
salt and pepper along with your choice of dried herbs and spices depending on what flavour you need for the dish
Method.
1. On medium heat, place butter in saucepan to melt
2. Once butter is melted sprinkle plain flour on top and stir until it turns into a paste like mixture.
3. Once the mixture is like a paste add milk bit by bit. Stir constantly until the mixture is of a thicker texture. If your mix isn't thick enough you can add extra flour but be careful not to add too much or it will turn clumpy.
4. Add your desired herbs and spices to complete the white sauce.
The Northern lights is one of the most captivating and mystifying wonders of this world. Some may say that it is an out of this world experience.
I have been looking at doing a tour of the Northern lights for some time now and I have recently discovered an affordable tour to do between November and Feburary each year, located in Whitehorse, Canada.
I have included a link that will take you to their website. This would be such an amazing experience. Not only do you view the Northern lights, there is also the opportunity to go dog sledding and snow-mobiling.
Check out the website. This is a once in a lifetime journey that would never be forgotten as long as you live.

As I sit here and write about developing my own life, I cannot help but wonder about the problems that lie within the vast societies of the world.
We live in a world that just simply cannot be explained. We are constantly seeking answers, and we are constantly looking for the perfect solution to every problem. However this is what I have come to realise in the time I have been here. Every action has a reaction. You fix one problem and another one arises
