Event #15 CHILI ROSEMARY SALT

The pictures really don't do this justice.

But here is some of my homemade chili rosemary salt, made with freshly picked rosemary and chili from my (organic) garden!

It is delicious with stews, casseroles, even a great seasoning for rice or boiled veggies. Think chili rosemary seasoned boiled potatoes and wilted spinach with blushing roast lamb basted in a garlicy marinade. Or just chili rosemary salt on popcorn!

The salt has a very slight chili bite but I don't think that it's anything to be afraid of. It's just enough to warm up your insides a little bit. Perfect for these cold Cape Town days.



R23 for 100ml of the salt plus the container and delivery to Southern Suburbs!
Orders are taken till stocks last.
Should you be afraid of chili, I have red pepper rosemary salt!

Keep warm and sip on ginger tea if you start feeling a fever come along!

Event #14 - PDA to my dear Gareth

So my fiance lovingly proposed, and then disappeared off to visit his family in JHB, travel Europe, party his unmarried ass off at a wedding (one last time before his own, possibly) and visit more family in England, while I am here fighting off questions like:When are you getting married, what are you wearing, what's your colour scheme? FYI I don't know.

Holy moly. He dodged a bullet that one! But, I do love him, so here's to a massive PDA to him!

This poem is rated. Must be over 18 to read. Sorry.

Dear Gareth Watson,
so fair are you:
you excel all requirements
in all that you do!

Dear Gareth Watson,
none can compare!
It's a rude statement that [to the rest of the population], though
to tell the truth is only fair.

Dear Gareth Watson,
my fiance,
Oh how I am looking forward to
our great day!


Dear Gareth Watson,
so bearded! Its true
that I may not recognise your face
when your return is due.

Dear Gareth Watson,
although that may be the case
I know you'll remind me
with your loving embrace.

Dear Gareth Watson,
with that said,
I love you even on the interwebs,
how much more in ...! (I just can't seem to think of the right word here)

Dear Gareth Watson,
that may have been offsides.
Therefore I shall stop rhyming now,
and work on masters revisions.

With that said (the poetry is now over) I have much studious work to do by Wednesday night, so I will be MIA and working hard on that. Crunchie orders are still open, Kimchi is still available and Crocheted goods are still available!

Event #13 PERMANENT BUTTER CRUNCHIE ORDERS (until further notice!!)

Here's a quick one, folks!

The tea party today was FUN! And some good news - no one had anything bad to say about the crunchies.

Event #11 JEAN STIRRUPS BY OUR 1st GUEST!

Danielle describes herself as a small town girl living in Cape Town with her husband and two cats. She is a geneticist by day [a top researcher in her field to be a little less vague, according to my trusty sources] and an extremely talented artist by night, particularly in the area of photography, crafts, design and cooking!

 

The actual stirrups will look slightly different to the one in the picture, but this image will give you an idea of the functionality of the product.

Item: a pair of jean stirrups

Delivery to Cape Town Southern suburbs can be arranged.

Event #7 DIDGERIDOO

There are two things I want to achieve with event #7:

-sell my lovely didgeridoo (I didn't make it, just so you know)
-hopefully hear from someone with LOTS of bamboo in their garden that I can chop down for them and take home... because I've been wanting to make my own bamboo musical instruments for years now and still haven't found a good source of bamboo. Besides a few variations of the pan pipe I haven't been able to experiment too much. I want to make didges too!

The didge for sale comes with a bag and a 10 minute lesson on how to get started... by ME! I haven't used it much, because I have two, and this one has always just been in my room... jealous of the attention I give didge #1...

R220 for the first order, I only have one!
Delivery included to anywhere between Constantia and Cape Town.
Email me on maikegevers at gmail dot com to confirm your order.
This event lasts until it is sold!

IF you have bamboo in your garden and want to get rid of it, please do let me know. Email me and I can come with a bakkie and get as much as you will allow me to. Also, if you have a lemon tree and many lemons... I want lemons too...
