These black pudding meatballs are such a creative way of using what I consider a breakfast treat. You will be surprised at how tasty these are, and just how easy they are to make.
Black Pudding Meatballs With Brown Butter Colcannon
I am having a few issues of questioning people’s way of conducting themselves. The first instance was when someone offered to do something for me. It was such a generous offer, but that is where it ended. They never did what they said they would, and it meant me running around at the last minute to get everything in order and sorted out. Then, a few months ago I came up with a brilliant solution to an issue I was about to have. But it meant having to asking someone to do something for me. I am usually loathe to ask for favours , other than from Dave, as more often than not, I am let down. The person I asked said they would do the favour with pleasure. But they never followed through. And I had ran out of time to shop for the solution.
Knowing I might encounter this again in the future, I went about looking in various shops whilst at the Mall. Eventually I found exactly what I was looking for and bought it so that I have what I need the next time I need it. The latest thing to irritate me is that someone handed out my cell phone number to a company without my permission. Within three days I had been contacted 3 times to solicit something from me. We have a very strict Protection of Personal Information Act in South Africa. And this person just violated it without a second thought. And when I sent them a message about it, they totally ignored me. As if I had done something wrong! These three instances are enough to put me in a foul mood, which is not conducive to anything creative. Would you hand out someone’s phone number without permission?
Dave and I are away in The Netherlands and I am not sure how much time I will have for blogging. I will be back at work on the 26th of October and will reply to blog comments then. I might not be able to read any blogs while I am away. You can follow our trip by taking a look at our holiday blog. Top of Page
I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. We visit new places locally and overseas as often as we can to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

Hi Tandy, I have been so frequently let down by other people, even family, that I don’t ask for help at all any more. I rarely even ask my husband as his whole life is work and I feel I am intruding on that when I intervene with no-work related issues. My latest feeling of complete let down is in respect of Michael’s doctor. First we had the complete debacle with the anesthetic and he ended up in ICU, very sick and unable to breath. Now, I get a script on Friday from the doctor for a bunch of meds but no follow up call to explain what has been discovered and why he is being given these treatments. I have made a further appointment, which I will pay for, with the doctor on Friday to find out what is going on. I feel hugely disappointed and let down, but that seems to be the name of the game now.
Glad you had a good vent. No, I would never give out anyone’s phone number especially to a company. Also, when someone offers to do something for me- I say I need it by this date and if you can’t do it, please say so- no hard feelings but I can’t be left flat. Enjoy your time away.
I would never give out someone’s phone number. You are lucky to have strong protections in place. Ours our worthless, so I have any calls not on my contact list go to voicemail (where they hang up).

I can’t tell you how sad this makes me to read that you don’t even want to ask Terence for help. I’m blessed that Dave will help me if he can.

I think I shall take your approach next time I ask for a favour!

I must look for that setting!
Oh, asking for favours is the worst. But meatballs are always a good idea 🙂 Loving the idea of using black pudding – so unique and intriguing!
Wish it were my own idea.
people often disappoint us; hopefully it’s mroe than balanced with people doing good things…
I tend to follow through which balances the life scale.
