When you are young and in love you go out your way to be romantic. Flowers, movies, open the door, whispers in the ear, special dinners and and and. When you get slightly older and have kids, just spending a little time together on your own without the kids is seen as romantic. For us … Continue reading A romantic evening at The Plantation

Crossways pies
Who doesn't love a pie? I don't mean those heartburn for hours garage pies but rather a proper "home made" farm stall type pie with real meat. Like the ones that caught my eye at Crossways Country Kitchen on Saturday. Beef or Venison. Take your pick.
Butcher Block Umhlanga – the BEST steak I have ever had
I don't think there is anybody out there (except obviously vegetarians or vegans) who doesn't love a good steak. Not everybody can make a good steak though. I have tried many times and just can't get it right. It's always either done to much or not enough and I think the Damselfly may even have given up … Continue reading Butcher Block Umhlanga – the BEST steak I have ever had
A braai with Drama Princess
Last weekend I was tiling in the kitchen and at some stage during the afternoon we realised that we just won't be able to braai and will probably just get something quick to eat. Drama Princess wanted nothing of that and packed the wood, lit the fire and braai'd the meat. Today we've been busy … Continue reading A braai with Drama Princess
Friendly Stranger fare
Third post about the Friendly Stranger this week so by now it's not really a stranger anymore. I met my friends Poekie and Shefetswe for coffee and to discuss a bit of work (seeing that we're all in the same industry). Shefetswe had the breaky while Poekie and I decided to try out their cakes. … Continue reading Friendly Stranger fare
Fish and chips at Struibaai Harbour
I always think that the guys along the coast in the Western Cape are very fortunate because of the amount of fresh fish available to them from all the fishing harbours. Whenever we get to travel in the province we like to go and have fish and chips from a local takeaway, usually overlooking the harbour … Continue reading Fish and chips at Struibaai Harbour
Yummy baked goods at Just Knead More
The Port Elizabeth Geocachers have a WhatsApp group where we chat about caching as well as anything and everything else. One day George C12 mentioned a bakery and posted a picture of some yummy goodies he bought. A few days later he did it again and people got curious. Where was this place George C12 … Continue reading Yummy baked goods at Just Knead More
New Year’s Eve braai with the family
As we were away over Christmas we didn't have a Christmas lunch with the family. We decided to rather do it on New Year's Eve and both Ouma and the In-Laws came over for a braai tonight. Chicken sosaties, cheese sausage, kabernossies (a smoked russian type of sausage), skildpaadjies (minced liver in net fat) and … Continue reading New Year’s Eve braai with the family
Nanaga roosterkoek
Stopping at the Nanaga Farmstall for their delicious pies have become an institution over the years. Not everybody is always in the mood for a pie though. No problemo. They also have mouthwatering roosterkoek. I like mine with jam and cheese. How do you like yours?
Clinking glasses and eating cheese at Packwood
Having a food and wine lover on a road trip means the trip is likely to be interrupted at some stage or another to indulge, or at least enjoy in moderation, either or both of these. This is what happened on a recent road trip to Cape Town with fellow tourism peeps and Geocachers Shefetswe and Erenei. … Continue reading Clinking glasses and eating cheese at Packwood
