It’s no secret that my eyes are bigger than my stomach, my sense of time means that I always think I have more time than I do and I have an unrealistic view of how much fresh food we can consume in a week. I have this tendency to overbuy and then I find myself […]
I’m not an exotic cook nor do I have an enormous amount of foodie knowledge. I cook more exotic than some and I seem to have an above average knowledge of foodie things. I’m not a foodie fad girl, I don’t go chasing the latest “in” thing. Lamb may be the new bacon, but bacon […]
Happy Birthday McGyver, how old are you? McGyver holds up his hand and starts with the thumb, 1966, then the index finger, 1976, the middle finger, 1986, the ring finger, 1996 and finally the pinky, 2006. Let’s see now it’s 2011, so 2006 to 2011 is 5 years, “I’m 55”. Isn’t it great that after […]

Remember my first post of our African adventure, and then part deux? Time for my last post on our adventure, the third part of our adventure takes us to a big hole and a coffee fountain. When I had won the bid for the safari, I found out that my friend, TMP was from the […]
Some things are just meant to be together!
Part Deux from my post last week, when Mcgyver and I embarked on An Adventure of a Life Time. After finishing our time at Camp Wag ‘n Bietje, Frikkie loaded us and our gear up, I was comfortable smashed in the “extended” part of his small pick-up. In retrospect I probably should have just rode […]
