Year of the dragon …

Taking a bow of thanks!
Oy, a pitch is still ruling my life …! That means I am still (bow) tied to the PC but luckily the deadline of Thursday looms … Nina from My easy Cooking sent me a e-note yesterday asking if Sunday lunch is 2-minute noodles again and luckily I could report “no!” I have HAD to shop and the fridge looked like mini Woolies again!
Anyway, I just have to post this message as darling Caro, she of great grace, unflappability and professionalism, decided to tie my little bow-tie post to her story about the Chinese year of the dragon and hyperlinked it. It landed on my previous post, the most boring of all posts and a moaning one at that, so I decided to take a break and post this. It will quikcly link you to the recipes (there are more than one bow tie recipe on that post) but let me share the joke of the year so far with you: I received a few emails to tell me and without fail, they said more or less the same thing: “Don’t want to hint or anything, but you are mentioned prominently today on the same page as the Chinese ‘dragon’…”
LOL! It made my day – and Caro darling, I know you did not mean it like that and also see the funny in it! Must confess though, I always kind-of knew that I’d be a grumpy old woman but the truth is even scarier … I am born in the year of the Tiger … ! LUV it!! Thanks for the laugh, girls, you made my day! Now back to the pitches …
Here is the post and the recipes, dears. Click here to go to that post (you may need to scroll past ‘Basil’) and enjoy! If you want more recipes for easy desserts, go to I love cooking our most awsome website that we love and work with a passion!

This morning I am so tired I can crumple up in a big ball (let wel, nie klein balletjie nie) and weep and weep and weep and weep ….. I finally understand a 2-year old that is tired and grumpy and if you dare to look at her, she bursts out in tears. Well, that’s me today but tamarra it’s all going to go away …. halleluja and then life can return to normal whatever normal may mean LOL! Groot moerse druk vir jou, my liewe Nins! XX

Well done, no matter how busy we are–we all deserve a break to “laugh”. I have decided that i am going to have to make a special trip to Cape Town, just to meet you.
keeping my fingers crossed for all your “pitches”
