Lights, No Camera, Action!

I seem to have slipped into a pattern of hurtling through life for a week, then blogging on the weekend and this week I will be adhering to that same pattern. I did try to keep to my vow to cook at home this week but had mixed results. On Sunday I had sliced up …

The Cup Runneth Over

I'm not into sport of any kind. The exception is where it's an international event such as a World Cup. And by International I mean involving the entire world, not like the poorly named American World Series. I'm still confused by that one. I've been watching some of the Rugby World Cup matches. Yesterday there …

The Natural Progression of Things

I can't believe 2 weeks have gone by since my birthday celebrations. Work is still intense even with my hours reduced. I've been slack about keeping to my determination to keep cooking at home. We missed shopping 2 weekends and Caitlin was away. We were rather disorganized but we thought as our resident pescatarian was …

The Path To Redemption

I always think one should spoil themselves on their birthday, especially if no one else is going to. This year both my husband and my daughter were going away and were not here for my birthday. My other daughter Lily works late so I decided to organize my own itinerary of happiness, starting with booking …

Ezra-ites

I have no idea whether George Ezra fans have some collective term for themselves ala Gaga and her Little Monsters, but if they don't this is as good as any. It has a slight religious adorarative quality about it.  George doesn't seem to be huge in SA, I mentioned to several people that I was …

Coffee Al Fresco

This week flew by even though I've reduced my hours at work. I've been so good about cooking every night until the weekend (no way I'm cooking all weekend). The Chicken dish I made last Sunday night turned out beautifully somewhat to my surprise. It was a complete invention and I worried the coconut milk would overwhelm …

Worthy

Recently I've had conversations with several people about self worth or related topics. Some people need to feel emotionally rewarded in some way by their job, for example being in healthcare would give you a feeling at the end of your day that you helped an ill or recovering person. Some people need to see …

The Quest 

Today I continued in my quest for the perfect Eggs Benedict. We decided to move our Saturday shopping trip to Sunday rather as that means the week's dinners have 1 less day to age as we do find that Pick N Pay's veg tends not to last as long as Woolies.  Yesterday was such a …

Having It All

I was so organized this week. I cut down my overtime with an aim to bill only 45 hours a week. Having shopped on the weekend meant I could create a dinner for us every night and no need for take aways!  As Monday was a public holiday I had cooked Eggplant Parmesan in advance, …
