Finally My Kids Approved this Tomato and Parmesan Soup
My kids can be fussy little shits sometimes. Yours? Flip. Yoh! They liked tomato soup….from Woolworths. But that “healthy homemade” Woolies soup had waaaaaaay too much sugar for my liking.

Nutella Chocolate Milkshakes
It was about 35°C in Durban yesterday. I didn’t feel a thing. Air-conditioning is fantastic. Until you step out of it of course. And then you find yourself pulling your clothing away from your skin just so that it can breathe, you kick your shoes off, grab a magazine and start fanning away to get…
