Woodstock has quite a bad rep. Yeah, I wouldn’t want my car to break down there late at night, while my Blackberry flashes that awkward orange colour and tells me that “the battery is too low for radio use” (in other words, its dead) but really, during the day, it’s great. Art galleries, furniture boutiques, […] More
Nussecken can be translated as nutty corners but that sounds just weird – I prefer Nussecken. It’s kinda become a tradition to make these during Christmas in our family and I thought I could share the recipe with you guys. They are truly the best and they will change your life. True Story! Ingredients for the Pastry: 200mg flour […] More
I took a quick trip to Mexico last week and I loved it. Not really, I’m just joking – but Panchos in Observatory is close enough! I learned three important lessons that evening: All the menu items seem to be very similar. It reminded me of a stand-up routine by Jim Gaffigan where he claims that […] More
During April 2010, a photographer named Sally Davies went to her local McDonalds and bought herself a Happy Meal. However, she had no intention of eating it…she only took photos – 180 of them for 180 days. Now, I’m no expert but if I go for a holiday and leave a sandwich on the kitchen […] More
As a kid, nothing got me quite like a gimmick. Little dolls whose nappies went blue or pink when you bathed them to determine gender, lollypops with a whistle at the bottom and shoes with lights in them! Now that I am slightly more grown up its pens with torches at the top, laptops which […] More
I love going to the movies and do so about once or twice per month even though the ticket prices are somewhat rediculous. I’ve been told that tickets in Europe are around 15 Euros so we shouldn’t be complaining here in South Africa. Also, I don’t buy into the Hollywood hype of some of the […] More
When I think of a bottle of wine, the juice of fermented grapes immediately comes to mind. But there are also other ingredients one can use to make excellent and quality wine. Some of these ingredients include root vegetables, blackberries, plums, cereals, flower petals and rose hips. You certainly won’t find many of these types […] More
I love browsing the internet and StumbleUpon has recently become my new best friend. Some may call it ‘a waste of time’ but this weekend has been very educational: I now know more about the lost city of Atlantis & Plato than ever before. Plus, I’m really getting into Greek mythology – it’s been very […] More
As we all know, drinking and driving is bad. Very bad. So instead of being a complete and utter fool and getting behind the wheel after a few drinks here are a few alternatives. Swing low sweet chariot There are few things better then a sneaky bender (n. The act of a party sneaking up […] More
A light bread that is given warmth and depth through quite a substantial amount of beer. It’s great left plain, or in the final 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle on some grated yellow cheese and even some spring onion. Thick slices, slathered with butter are great for a gourmet sandwich and dunked in to soup, […] More
Yeah, this one has an awful name, but it’s pretty awesome. Marinade a chicken for a good 24 hours before cooking. Open a can of beer and drink half, then spoon in a table spoon of your marinade. Shove, I mean, insert the beer up the chickens’ rear end. Place the entire thing balanced upright […] More
