Checking out Matt's flat

Matt and two of his mates are renting a flat in Kenilworth. It's a wonderful flat with a balcony overlooking a gorgeous garden.

Delicious gammon lunch

Mum made a delicious lunch of gammon with mustard sauce and banana ice cream.  We had it at Jo and Ant's place.

Steak at the Cattle Baron

It's always a big treat to go to the Cattle Baron. Their steaks are absolutely amazing. As usual, I had the Steak Madagascar, a scrumptious 300 gram fillet with a creamy peppercorn sauce.

Sea Point at dusk

 A spectacular sunset at Sea Point followed by dinner at a steak restaurant. I was full after my Quesadilla lunch at mum and Mike so just had a vegetable stack. It was absolutely delicious.

Testing out our Afrikaburn Thai red curry on the family

Jo, Matt and Antony agreed to be willing guinea pigs for our Thai red curry we are planning to cook at Afrikaburn for our group.  We had fun cooking and then played a fun game with the family that involved throwing a stick at sticks. I absolutely sucked at it at first but then staged a comeback for the ages to reign triumphant at the end! Finally, we tucked into the curry and everyone agreed it was a great success. And surprisingly easy, a great dish to add to my repertoire.

The cooks hard at work!

Then a fun game with the family

Triumphant!

A great success!

Sam's 25th birthday

I can't believe my wonderful niece who I rushed home from the Otter Trail to see as a newborn baby in 2000 has just turned 25!  It feels like yesterday. Where does the time go?

Two Oceans race

Antony, Stuart, Neil, Dom, Michael and Jess all did the Two Oceans.  Jo, Annelies and I went 5 minutes down the road to watch them running by. The atmosphere was electric.  This was Antony's 10th Two Ocean, a wondeeful achievement.|
