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…
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…
Picture this scenario: A little old man in the corner of a restaurant eating by himself – all alone with no one to talk to. He doesn’t have a book or newspaper to read, he isn’t on his phone chatting to someone and he isn’t writing or drawing anything either. He is just eating…alone…and it’s…
As some of you know, it was my birthday on the weekend and on that special occasion, we baked a Fanta Cake. I tweeted on Friday, that Fanta Cake must surely be the best cake in the world. You must forgive me, I wasn’t thinking clearly as I was very excited. It’s not the best…

Do you still eat your food after its been on the floor? That’s the million dollar question for today! I probably wouldn’t eat a salad that’s been on the floor but if I had dropped my favourite biscuits, that would be another story altogether – I would be faced with a serious dilemma! Not that I would…

Most restaurants aren’t the most exciting places in the world – are they? Some can be. But most seem to copy each other, even the menus are similar. But while browsing the net, I came across Cabel’s Blog. On his trip to Japan while in the town of Kashiwa he experienced something truly unique. And I’d…
I am the worst kind of addict. I am the kind of addict who goes to bed fantasizing about my next kick and my fantasy transcends my sleep and turns into my reality. I wake up feeling exhausted, dazed, confused, like I have been awake for days. I lie in bed, motionless, and try and…
Each month we choose a new restaurant every time trying out a different cuisine.
