There have been lots about the kids, and our lives and such the last while, but pretty little about myself. So, when I saw Jenty's post this morning it just hit the right button.

Favourite Song - Adele - Rolling in the deep.

Favourite Shop – Woolies andBig Blue
Favourite chocolate –Wedgewood Chocolate Honey Nougat (with real Belgium chocolate). Seriously addictive.
Favourite cookies - Wedgewood Angels - these are seriously great (cookies with nougat)
Favourite food –  Chemeen Murgh Kari - Kerela -Chicken simmered in curry leaves, coconut and spinach, gravy- At Geet Indian Restaurant
Favourite meal that I make –Pasta  - see recipie. I have made quite a few variations, amongst them avo and snoek.
Favourite flower –gerberas
Favourite colour to wear –berry colours
Favourite shoes – black ballet type pumps
Favourite drink – Red wine and gin and dry lemon
Favourite lens – 55-250mm
Favourite place to walk the dogs – Struben dam in Lynnwood Glen
Favourite place to take the kids – Our local park or Foodprint because of their great child minders.
Favourite coffee for every day at home – Douwe Egberts - the red one
Favourite coffee shop – Isabellas
Favourite pizza place – Mimmos with the office - I know, boring, but we do not get out much with Lucy on extended sick leave.
Favourite place to take photos – Struben dam. Anywhere with autumn leaves.
Favourite place for holidays –San Lameer - we just had the most wonderful holiday.
Favourite joghurt – Pick n Pay Choc chip yoghurt
Favourite man –My Hunter - because he is just the best. And I love him. And although he is in the bush this weekend he left me with cooked meals both evenings.
Favourite website – You tube. I know, boring, but I landed on old Ally Macbeal clips on Friday night and had a blast.
Favourite TV programme - Top Billing or Amazing race. I do not watch much TV but do enjoy these.

So what are your favourite things? Feel free to consider yourself tagged.

  2.  That pasta dish of yours looks great.  I'm not a great pasta eater so may I ask what is considered "good quality pasta"?  I'm the one who always buys P & P macaroni :P

  7. @036d0bfddc1652d6269067ef70b9886e Of to read. So why do you not meet us there on a Saturday (and cross the boerewors curtain). Food is just ok, service is not the best, but kids play - the best.

  16. @3bd3bfb05fe7cbf88a427a92a8e8925a My poor hubby has to work today - but on Saturday I am not only going for a facial (organized and paid by him), but also for my hair.

  17. I love that song, too! I think I'll save a post like this for a day when I've got nothing else. You're right - we blog about the kids so much but rarely ourselves. :-)
