For me, Valentine's day is not just Valentine's day. It marks the day that TheHusband (then to-be) and I shared our first kiss back in 2004, three days after we met. Technically it was me who kissed him first - a thank you kiss for the rose[...]

It's almost weekend and weekends in South Africa in the summertime invariably involves at least one braai. Or bbq for the non-South Africans amongst you. There will be the usual suspects, of course - chip 'n dip (packet of chips/crisps[...]

Limoncello

TheHusband is up to something. He's gone off on a wild tangent and is now brewing his own beer. Yes, you heard that right. Which is all good and well, but what most people tend to forget is that I'm the one who has to deal with a yeasting[...]

I feel like Austin Powers today. Yeah baby, yeah! Not only do I have a soft spot in my heart for the styles and music of the swinging sixties (don't ask me why, I wasn't even born yet), but over the past few weeks I have also lost and found[...]

Smoked Chicken, Nectarine & Pak Choi Salad

A quick one, just for you dear readers, in the few seconds I can steal away from the auditors' judging eyes.  Don't say I won't jump through hoops for you!  This is one I whipped up a couple of weeks ago, while still on[...]

Best of the Pot 2010

(Word cloud created on Wordle ) So apparently I really like chocolate . And beetroot . But you knew that right? A lot of things happened in 2010. Good and bad. We started the year off by getting our first ever pet, a 6 week[...]
