You know what they say. You fall off a horse, you gotta get back on. I’m not so good at that getting back on the horse stuff. I fall off a horse and that’s the end of equestrianism for me. Like WC Fields said: No […] -

True that. I would’ve probably been better off if those goalposts had stood still
. Thanks Mitzi, for the reassurance AND the compliments! -

I’ve lost my cooking mojo. My Coojo, if you will. He’s in the Pet Sematary. (Well, at least I haven’t lost my sense of humour).It started with an epic fail. The 2nd of April was my birthday as well as my […]

I am so sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine how big a hole it leaves when one loses a brother. The big differences don’t matter, it’s the little similarities that makes the bond so special. I’m glad you got to […]

You can’t choose your family. We fling that out there with a heh-heh and a shrug of the shoulders. But sometimes it hits home. If you’ll excuse the nostalgic pun.I have one sibling. And my boet is a great man. […]

Recently, in a moment of madness, I invited my cousin and his husband to dinner. I have no idea what I was thinking. It’s not that they’re not nice people, but they’re practically strangers. I don’t think I’ve […] -

Thanks Mitzi, you’re very right – dunno how people cooked before blogging!!

OK don’t tell anyone but until about 5 minutes ago I didn’t know where rice comes from. I know. Shocking. I just never thought about it past the fact that it comes from the shelf and that (according to the dregs […] -

They say “It’s not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean”. They’re of course saying this to make men feel better about their inadequate, erm, boats. After all, it’s not the type of boat that matters, […] -
TheCooCooCook wrote a new post, Afrikaners is Plesierig, on the site thecoocoocook 2 months ago
That’s the first line of a traditional Afrikaans song. It means Afrikaners are nice people. OK, maybe that’s stretching the translation a bit. The meaning of “plesierig” is probably more “fun” than “nice”.But […]

I’m too chickenshit to be an experimental cook. When I do bugger around with ingredients I’m relatively conservative with my choices. (Except for chilli, I can’t be trusted around chilli). But I’ve seldomly found […] -

I love slow recipes. I love how it pays off to take a breath, to be patient, to coddle and nudge instead of rush and push. It’s so unlike me. I’m like the roadrunner in the cartoon, only way fatter, not blue and a […] -

I suffer from Alzheimers. Well not really but close. My memory sucks. “I told you that” is a familiar accusation. (Followed by “No you didn’t” - I live for denial). My childhood memories are practically […] -

On Sunday I had a panic attack. I was dying. Again. I think I’m dying fairly often. This could either be because I am, in fact, often dying but God always saves me at the last minute, or I am, in fact, never dying […] -

I know dogs are famous for that whole unconditional love thing. And yes, there’s something pretty awesome about the way they think I’m awesome even though they’ve seen me naked. Unconditional love rocks. I know […] -

Statistically, how often do you think someone breaks down and starts sobbing in an appliance store? Based on the horrified look on Brian the Salesman’s face I’m going to guess not often. Well, he asked for it. You […] -

I had sex with Jeremy Clarkson last night. There may have been almost 6k miles between us and he presumably had no idea we were having sex, but trust me, I know him much better this morning than I did after […] -
