<div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...Have been absolutely crazy busy! I recently got involved in a fabulous market in Parkhurst called The Super: <a href="http://www.thesuper.co.za/">(www.thesuper.co.za</a>) selling goods made by Ian and myself through The Counter. With all of the public holidays and long weekends, there have only been a few weekends that it has been operating, but so far so good. It's such a lovely way to spend a Saturday in the JHB sun - munching on good food (if I do say so myself), drinking real beer (AndUnion) and amazing cocktails, and listening to some good live music. Come and visit us...</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Thought you might be interested in a few of the items we have for sale. So far we've done:</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Tomato and chilli relish</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Lemonade cordial (Using lemons grown on my family game farm in the Waterberg - Swebeswebe)</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Rosewater apricots</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Vanilla poached pears</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Lemon curd</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Mayonnaise</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Plum jam</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Plum and vanilla syrup</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">- Marula syrup</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Everything is homemade with absolute love by myself and Ian. Each week we also do a hot meal that you can enjoy at the market. Bacon and brie sammiches, smoked chicken and peppadew sammiches, coconut chicken curry, French toast with bacon and maple syrup and the bestest brownies you will ever eat. EVER.</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">It has been a tough few months, working five days a week (as well as a lot of long nights) and then waking up early on a Saturday morning to spend the day at The Super. But it is so worth it! I'm spreading as mouch Counter Love as I can...</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Spread the love too...</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...I need to keep my electronic gadgets and cables in one place. I keep misplacing everything and it's super frustrating.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...I would love to write for a magazine or have a super foodie type blog, with loads of restaurant reviews and new recipes. I just need to find the time!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...Adele's new album '21' is sensational. I think someone broke her heart...</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...When your PVR can't record shows anymore, you watch a lot of crap TV.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...The earth is slightly pissed off at the moment and Mother Nature is cleaning up quite swiftly. It's a little frightening!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...Woolies makes these amazing, chewy, sugary chocolate chip cookies - you have to try them out!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...You can cry about someone's death, even if you haven't met them.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...Leftover puff pastry makes a mean tart base (obviously not too 'puffy') - I topped mine off with more leftovers: Homemade Napolitana sauce, brie stuffed chicken breast, olives, parmesan and homemade basil pesto. Divine!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...I work a whole lot better when I don't have someone watching my every move.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...Dance, You're on Fire is an amazing SA band.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...I've seen a lot of bands/artists perform - including: Counting Crows (twice), Jamiroquai, The Killers, U2, Ja Rule, Craig David, Fall Out Boy, Zebra and Giraffe, Snow Patrol, Panic! At The Disco, Black Eyed Peas...That's all I can think of for now. Anyway, point is - I cannot WAIT for Kings of Leon to come to SA in October. And if Foo Fighters ever announced a tour, I would pass out. Literally.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...I'm not sure what life was like before BBM??? How did we ever communicate?</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">...All's fair in love and war.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; text-align: left;">So I am clearly very bad at this whole blogging thing.

Not that it matters though, this is mostly for me and not you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; text-align: left;">I think I will keep my blog (if you can really call it that) simple and list-like.

</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Things I now know...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">1.) Paco Rabanne's Ultraviolet is definitely a scent that was made for me</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">2.) Having a gay best friend is fabulous darling!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">3.) You should never do anything that you wouldn't be able to tell your mother about</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">4.) But these things always seem to be the most fun...</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">5.) The Orient in Melrose Arch makes the most divine food and end each meal off perfectly with insane coconut ice - J'Adore!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">6.) Planning to open up your own business is super scary</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">7.) I don't read as much as I used to and that needs to change</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">8.) You will never get over your first love, no matter how hard you try</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">9.) I am addicted to chunky, over sized silver rings</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">10.) Cape Town is just the most incredible food mecca ever</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">11.) After 14 years of vehemently protesting against it, I am now in love with Cape Town and will move there one day soon</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">12.) I will never understand war</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">13.) Frozen berry and mint smoothies are heaven</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">14.) A strong cup of tea can make any issue melt away</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Day Two.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">I have had Paul Simon's 'You Can Call Me Al' stuck in my head the ENTIRE morning. Not fair. It's a good song, but once you've got it in there, it won't let up and just keeps playing and playing and playing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Other annoying songs that get stuck on repeat include:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">1.) Men at Work - You Can Dance if You Want To (Which is a particularly good one for torturing my brothers)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">2.) The Alphabet (WTF??)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">3.) What Do Tigers Dream Of - Stu (The Hangover)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">4.) Any crap by the Parlotones</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">5.) Toni Basil - Hey Mickey</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Apparently this is referred to as an 'Earworm.' Thanks Wiki Wiki for that little gem of info: </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm"><span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Can someone please explain to the worm that I prefer Foo Fighters or Counting Crows?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Apologies if I've just spurred on a mash-up of all of the above tunes. My bad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">So I've never done this before. Share my thoughts and experiences with the world...I mean, whose to say that anyone is actually interested in my life?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">What do I write about? Do I explain how I wake up in the mornings at 05h30, shower, brush my teeth, change and get to work by 07h00? Work all day and sometimes all night, get home to my little flat and smash my couch in my face most nights? I think not - that's a little boring isn't it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">For now, let's keep it super simple. I am a 27 (eeek) year old woman (girl at heart) living in Joburg. I work as an Events Manager for a top notch catering company in Joburg north and at times I love my job. I have an amazing and insane family, a divine bunch of friends and a great life. I have been truly blessed it seems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">I am also addicted to social networking...Find me on Facebook and Twitter, all day every day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">My ultimate dream in life is to own a beautiful little deli/bakery serving amazing sandwiches and smiles. :) To me, food is life and it makes people happy. That's what I want to do - make people happy. And mostly, not have a boss. Yugh.</span><br />
