Oh me oh my, how I love a good spring roll, combine that with a bit of sweet and sour pork and perhaps some beef chow mein and you have 1x happy camper. My friend Kitty and I have a little treat when we have dinner. Instead of going out to a restaurant or one […]

First off my apologies to the people in this photograph on this mug, I have no idea who you are … however I suspect you would like to remain anonymous! A good friend just moved into a flat in Green Point and we decided to pay her a visit while she was getting settled in. […]

My great granny Emily was somewhat of an artist. Don’t get me wrong she isn’t famous, but she was rather talented. My grandpa’s home in Onrus was always a special place to visit because in each room and nearly every wall there was a painting of his mom’s and each had a story to go […]

Who doesn’t enjoy a burger? I certainly do and one of my favourite to make at home is a veggie burger. I know all the meat eaters out there are cringing and say no no no a burger without meat? Believe me when I say I’m not saying all burgers should be meat free, I […]
