I’ve learned that stuff happens, people change, and it doesn’t mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. it simply means that you move on and treasure the memories, letting go doesn’t mean giving up, its just accepting the fact that some things weren’t meant to be.

It’s so easy to say I’m fine without him, but deep down inside, I’m hurt and I have to pretend I am alright, smile and hold behind the tears because from what I can see, he is doing fine without me.

Back to Basics : Boerewors Rolls

Lets try go simpler this week...

The highlight of preparing this meal was the chilli tomato relish adapted from a Jamie Oliver Chilli tomato jam. This was superb, sticky and loaded with onion and tomato but with a potent fire to it. Calming it down with loads of cooked tomato to call it safe to serve to staff with varying likes of heat.

The wors was Jannie's from Perrdgevale Butchery, known for juiciness and flavour, and made with top class ingredients. The rolls purchased fresh from Acres Spar.

One thing I have learnt today ... don't try get a perfect food shot with a kitchen full of hungry males hanging around like a pack of wolves ... forget the photos for your own safety!!

Aprrox cost per person : R 13

Chilli tomato Relish adapted from http://www.jamieoliver.com/magazine/recipes-view.php?title=easy-tomato-chutney

I did use white onions, add more zing and wasn't thick after 45minutes so added more sugar and a bit of honey.

Beef mince on special as Acres Spar this week, hamburger patties and lasagne ? ... watch this space...

Yours in food,

Gourmet Toasties

Chicken breasts cooking with homemade bacon, delicate smells of mushrooms and onions frying in butter, lashings of cream cheese topped with ooozing mozzarella cheese.

Starting an office canteen ...

An office of hungry males and one female who enjoys cooking over working ...

It all came about with the usual midday hypothetical question of 'So Coral, what we eating today?' and then all the fast food joints of Newton Park cashing in on guys needing to fill their empty 'bellies'.

Today on the trial menu, the one and only option, was a pita bread stuffed with slow cooked mocha rubbed beef. The smells while cooking where enough to get anyone's stomachs rumbling, fragrant flavours filling the cool winter morning air.

FFWD a few hours ...

So here I sit nervously listening to the sound of hungry staff eating their lunch, waiting anxiously for for the post munch comments ...

...

The reactions to the presentation were most encouraging, the ooooh and aaaahs over the fact there was 'dassiekos' and even a garnish ! Down to the discussion if that was parsley or coriander ?

Many thanks and wows at how good that was, how much better than fast food and 'when are we doing this again' was all I needed to start thinking about what I was going to put on their plates next week ...

Girls day out – finally! With threats of winners and losers Saturday morning had us speeding out separately to meet at Crossways around 9am. Crossways was filled with people, the smell of freshly baked pastries enveloped the air and warm sunlight was draped over the wooden tables. We ordered…

We like to pretend that high heels don’t hurt our feet, and that we always look as good as we do when we’re wearing make-up and our prettiest clothes. We like to tell ourselves that not every guy is the same, and that maybe he’ll change if we’re patient with whatever life throws our way. We hide behind smiles and mask ourselves in laughter while thinking maybe it’ll be enough to convince ourselves we’re really that happy; we tell ourselves we really need to be that happy. But sometimes, life isn’t okay, and it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to hurt, and sometimes, we just need a reminder that we’re only human. And as miraculous of a blessing as that is, it can still break you down, leave a mess, shake you up, and confuse you until you don’t understand what it means anymore. You’re going to hurt, you’re going to fall, and you’re going to make mistakes that - sometimes - you even know better than to allow yourself to make. But that’s okay. Sometimes, you just need a reminder that it’ll all be okay; here’s your reminder, beautiful. Hold on for better days, keep that gorgeous smile where we can see it, because I can promise you things won’t always be this way.

Primi Piatti

It had been a long fun weekend topped with a crazy night of music wine and good friendships …

A new day was upon us, very wearily and may I add, rather slowly, we dragged ourselves away from the comfort of our beds to have a lazy lunch out with our visiting guest from...

It was a cool and sunny spring morning when the three food terrorists decided to take a break from their ‘hectic’ work schedules and meet at the rustic little coffee shop/restaurant in Park Lane to calm the lunch hunger that had arisen – today we review RHUBARB & LIME.
