This is how Yontov begins
The preparation began at 5pm, yesterday afternoon. On the menu was an assortment of foods, none of them easy to prepare.
• Chopped liver
• Roast lamb
• spinach and feta pies
• Grilled marrows
• Roast veg and potatoes.
• Chicken soup
We began with the Chopped liver. It would be my first time preparing this traditional meal and I was completely unprepared for what it [...]
Another Weekend
Weather: 22 degrees and windy with a cold snap.
Yes, another weekend has passed, and another month of my Cape town holiday memory fades away. My girlfriend treated me to Ocean Basket and we had the platter for two. It was a grand meal of prawns, mussels, hake, calamari and fried somethings plus chips. I thoroughly [...]

The New and the Old
My old back pain has dissipated, replaced with the common cold [I believe it is a cold].

I was a mess yesterday, and was genuinely worried about my upcoming two day vacation/self styled [...]
