Sjoe!Whats cooking in the kitchen?

Sjoe ive been busy.
I have flour in my hair,
Cake on my vintage dresses,
and the whiff of vanilla following me around like a lost puppy.

There is something delicious about being paid to do something you love.
Which, lucky me...
I get to do all day long.
The green grocer knows me by name,
I get caterers discount at Impala...
Sjoe im practically dating the baby marrows growing in my backyard.

Its a funny thing, being 25 years old and changing your career path...not in a dramatic, 'Im moving to Paris to become a Burlesque dancer' way, but more a 'Sjoe i love cooking...maybe i could charge people to like..i dunno...eat the food i make?' way.

And can you believe it!they all said yes...
Happy eating everybody....
And remember..an imported chocolate a day keeps the doctor away.

Baby its cold outside.

Sjoe but its cold in Johannesburg.
The 'Im turning blue, my toes are freezing, i cant get out of my slippers' kind of cold.
So imagine, if you will, being this cold, and not having a warm fireplace, hot-water bottle,pot of soup, or even, a roof over your head to come home to?
No one should be cold and hungry in Winter..it should be a human right to be warm..
So i urge you all today dear bloggers,
Buy a loaf of bread.
A ready made soup.
A blanket and a pair of socks.
And keep them in your car.
Give out each one of these things to someone in need...
By the end of the day you would have helped four people.
How great would that be?

Go On, Blow Out your Birthday Candles!

My friend Orly had a baby and a birthday all in one week.
The really cute pink footed kind.(The baby not the birthday.)
Orly and i met at University, where we were both starstruck by the idea of being on a stage everyday,
and where Shakespeare was the topic of the day.
Today is Orly's birthday, which was meant to co-incide with her due date(How magical is that?)
But Mr cute pink foot decided to show his little face a few days early, which i think is a wonderful surprise birthday present.
So far he is nameless, So today, on the 1rst of June 2011, i want to say...
baby 'Working title' your mommy is one special lady, filled to the brim with super amazing gifts like a heart filled with love, the best chocolate brownie recipe and the innate gift of loyalty and kindness, welcome to the world little one, We have been waiting for you.

A moon a book and some love for you.

You are the trip i did not take.
You are the pearls i could not buy.
You are my blue Italian Lake.
You are my piece of Foreign sky.

You are my Honolulu moon.
You are the book i did not write.
You are my hearts unuttered tune,
You are a candle in my night.

No!You cannot have a bite!
