Nadia, my trustworthy PA, or should I say, BOSS, is due to have a little one soon and has as some of you Moms remember when you were pregnant, started those cravings.
Not even 2 hours ago I mentioned that I was on my way to fetch some paper for the printers from Davida's office, when she immediately jumped up from her desk and cried, " Please would you get me a Wimpy cheeseburger while you are in town." Yesterday it was the Russian and chips craving, which I might add was very nice.
Well the point I trying to make is that food always and you have to admit comes up sooner or later in our daily going ons. Tuesday at our local curry shop is normally Soya Prawn Curry day, so later I am going to give you my recipe for CPC- Chicken Prawn Curry ala Gary.
You will notice a new picture today of Davida and her friends having a plakka party while I thought she was studying hard on the course in Durban last week. I think the picture says more than a thousand words. The wine(obviously French because that all my friend Fanie drinks) being drunk is a great form of bringing memories into ones lives. People tend to let their hair down once a little substance is in the system, send me some of your wine moments, I like to her of other peoples plakka parties.
Rhys' school is hard at work preparing for their X-mas concert. Yep, Christmas is just around the corner, so when I arrived at school to fetch him this afternoon he was still busy with lunch.
For Davida and I nutrition plays a big part in our lives. I might not, but Davida is, be the most body beautiful person to look at but at least we try to eat right and pass this on to our son, who I might add has a good appetite himself. The menu at school today, well done Sunnybank, was roast potato, carrots, coleslaw and a baked fish dish followed by a dessert of rice pudding and custard. YUMMY.
Remeber to visit the links I have on the site for more info regarding healty eating, etc. But for now I need to get back to work and probably play a game of squash later with The Old Cock, Trevor Pigg or should I say Mister Pigg to you and leave you with the CPC recipe.
