i am SUPER EXCITED to introduce you all to Tshepiso Sibisi, whose pizza making business caught my eye earlier this year. Due to the super busyness of my work and life vibes, i have taken way too long to get this blog post written - and i humbly apologise - but we are here, and this is a story to enjoy and share. And if you are in the area to take advantage of. [...]
Ready for an update on the Community Garden that continues to grow and thrive? It has been 10 days since i shared the story about The Little Garden That Could. That feels way too recent to be writing any more about it. And yet so much has happened. If you are following me on Instagram, you will know that i have already made five different posts about the garden, which is a lot in [...]
The Pandemic Life of 2020 has not stopped Marcel's from being creative! Last time we visited it was for the new Peanut Butter flavour which we really enjoyed and this time the voucher arrived just in time for my mate Mike's birthday. So i headed down to Blue Route Mall in a social distancing fashion and i met Mike there to try out Marcel's new limited edition Peppermint Tart flavour. [SPOILER ALERT: If this [...]

Marcel's Frozen Yoghurt's much-loved unicorn flavour is enchanting Marcel’s stores nationwide these school holidays. i know this is true because my wife, tbV [the beautiful Val] and i went and had some today after the rugby. Topped with a little bit of fudge this unique flavour that is both beautiful to look at and mouth-watering or fruitering on the tongue was the perfect post-game snack. We had soon forgotten about the loss and were ready [...]
The idea of a meat-free diet terrified me. Because, first and foremost, bacon is a form of meat, and i love my bacon. But also it's just been one of those things that has always been around and most of my favourite dishes - shepherds pie, roast chicken and roast potatoes, steak mash and peas, spaghetti bolognaise - all contain meat. The America Effect When we lived in America for three years though, [...]
On the evening of the election, tbV [the beautiful Val] and i hosted our own party. #ISeeWhatIDidThere We invited around ten of our friends for food and drinks and cake and conversation and just hung out - no agenda beyond celebrating friendship and being in a trusted space with people we love. And it was a diverse group of people. And it was good. Then last night we gatecrashed [kinda] another dinner with some [...]
A few weeks ago i received a gift bag of Fair Cape Goodies [Mousse and Yoghurt and Mousse and other non Mousse things - you can see where my passion lies!] which were all really great and so i shared a blog post about some of their Recycling Vibes [which you can read over here]. So when i received an email from my contact Noni, asking me if i would be interested in visiting [...]

i think this is my most embarrassing photo ever [and for me, that's saying a lot]. i call it my fat face photo and i keep it to remind me of a time when my face was about as wide as it was long. This is me in Umtata in 2002 and clearly it wasn't an epidemic of weighty proportions, because by Umtata 2003 i'm looking pretty healthy and average sized again... [...]
