Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
The last few weeks have been riddled with chaos and filled with both natural and unnatural disasters both near and far. Terrorism and the alt-right hate groups kicked off on Saturday the 21st in my home country, the USA. There was an alt-right rally in Charlottesville Virginia which resulted in a battle between the good guys …
This Sunday has been so much fun but oh so busy! And very different than my lazy day last weekend. Last Sunday I ended up cooking a roast chicken, red cabbage, a spinach and avocado salad and lovely little sausages. For a last minute throw together from Spar it was delicious. It also meant I had …
We have been blessed with another stunning day in Cape Town. We pottered about getting our back garden ready for spring and summer. We planned what to do at the back and finally decided on putting in a wooden deck. Panda enjoyed the sunshine. We emptied all the pots and filled them with new compost. …
I can't believe it is over a week since I fell ill and yet I am still sick. My head is so congested. But the show must go on. After work on Monday I was faced with my lack of pot roast for dinner thanks to naughty Navajo and had to come up with a …
We continued our Sunday tradition last weekend and I made a gorgeous roast beef for dinner. I cooked it American style as a pot roast rather than baking it. I cooked it in broth, onions and garlic. Once cooked I strained the sauce and added cream to the rich broth. I made crispy, buttery fondant …

Timing is everything. The smallest millisecond can alter the course of a life. It's almost as if the universe has an expected daily target for how long I spend in traffic. And 15 minutes can make a world of difference. Thursday I decided I was going to leave by 7 and I was at my …
I am so organized that I didn't need to go to the shops or leave the house from Saturday until Tuesday. I'm normally so busy that I actually started to develop a bit of cabin fever. That only leads to mischief. Norm and I decided to do ear candling which is defined as: Ear …
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 …
It has been rather exceptionally lucky to end up with 2 4 day weekends in one month. Even the work week flew by this week. Last Saturday we decided to nip out for dinner to Papino's in Hout Bay. The Rugby World Cup has kicked off and SA were playing, so we tried to time it before …
