I’m quite a bedding snob. It’s not really something I’ve ever really thought about, but I’ve always had white percale linen on my bed. I’ve never, ever had pink! Pink is for sissies and I’ve never, ever considered floral. Of course, sometimes, you just have to see something in the right light to find that you might like it…the right light here being that the pink floral cotton sheeting was on sale, and ridiculously discounted for the quality—at around $2 (R34) /metre, which means that it cost me less than $10 to make the duvet cover and less than $6 for the fitted sheet and pillowcases (including the continental pillowcase). Also, it only took me an afternoon to sew it all up.

I usually deep fry my veggies for this dish because it seems so traditional—by that I mean it echoes every sweet and sour on the menus’ of local South-African-Chinese restaurants. However, I read in the New York Times that the veggies could be crisped effectively, without all the batter and oil, in an air fryer. Since I got a shiny new-air fryer-toy for Christmas I thought I’d add the method to the recipe as an alternative.

I was scrolling on Pinterest just looking for something cute to make for my SIL and nieces as a last minute gift and I came across this fabulous idea for an Infinity Wrap. The garment looked super simple to make so I tried my hand and I must say that I’m rather pleased with the final result! What do you think?

She knew her pain was unremarkable. Of course it was. Of course!But, on that day, when the sky exploded in a berry-crush that bled slowly into a purpled evening, she thought she saw a shooting star. A star that boring people called a meteor.

On a MissionThe first time Sara saw it was on a very hot day. The sun had been up since very early, and it was enjoying making everyone miserable. More so, because it knew that a dry, noisy wind was blowing sand into people's faces and huts. It was a day of the type that made ordinary people understand other people's suicides.

Imagine that! Go on, do it. Imagine $75,000 in your pocket with no bills to pay.Go on!Grin!Awesomeness on speed, I’d say. However, that’s what happened to me for two days and 12 hours this week. I believed, absolutely, that I had that kind of extra pin money to play with over and above my salary and other assets.
