May 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Jun 1, 2022May 19, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

May 2022 started off with us playing the waiting game. Our Passports had gone into the embassy in April for our UK Visas. And all we had to do was wait patiently for them to be returned. As soon as I got them back I started shopping. I decided to take a lot of gifts … Continue reading May 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

April 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

May 4, 2022May 5, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 16 Comments

April 2022 was not a good month for business in South Africa. Between the 2 days off for Easter and a public holiday on the 27th, we have 3 four day weeks. This is closely followed by the May day holiday which is why we tend to go overseas at this time of the year. … Continue reading April 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

March 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Apr 6, 2022Apr 6, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

March 2022 was quite a month for us. We had the kids and Hannah over for a family meal. And then friends for a fish braai with their puppy and children. Holly was delighted to have another playmate for an afternoon. Dave, Eric, Bev and I went away for the long weekend. And I did … Continue reading March 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

February 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Mar 2, 2022Mar 3, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

Did you know that WordPress allows you to travel back in time? Last month I posted my IMK share on the 3rd of February 2022, but published it with the 2nd as the date. I did not even realize I had missed scheduling the post and could not understand why it wanted me to hit … Continue reading February 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

January 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Feb 2, 2022Feb 3, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

Sherry did not have an IMK series in January 2022 so if you missed my post, please take a look here. I had Hannah with me for 2 weekends in January so we could bake together. She had fun making butter and ice cream, and then did a lot of colouring in. These moments with … Continue reading January 2022 Showcasing In My Kitchen

December 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Jan 7, 2022Jan 5, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

December 2021 was a whirlwind of activities and emotions. Before I get into the long story, we did not go to Vienna. However, we spent a weekend away in Franschhoek and then went on a road trip through the Cape Provinces. But, more about that later. For now I am sharing with you what I … Continue reading December 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

November 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Dec 1, 2021Dec 2, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

November 2021 could not have ended on a worse note than it did. The month was spent sorting out our trip to Austria. And then making alternate plans if we went to Turkey. South Africa has amazing scientists and discovered a new variant of the Covid virus. By sharing this information (correctly) with the world, … Continue reading November 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

October 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Nov 3, 2021Nov 2, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

October 2021 was full of highs and lows. The highlight of the month was a visit to The Netherlands to see Mark. The low was just the rest of the month while I felt like I was swimming upstream. Despite all of that, I managed a fair amount of recipes for the month. Savoury dishes … Continue reading October 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

September 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Oct 6, 2021Oct 5, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 6 Comments

September 2021 was not a great month for me! I was in a small accident which meant a lot of paperwork and time spent out of the office. And then my laptop was stolen in a break in at work. This resulted in a lot of time spent out of the office and and even … Continue reading September 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

August 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Sep 1, 2021Aug 31, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 18 Comments

August 2021 was a stamp your foot sort of month. It started off pretty well, but then a friend got Covid. We see a lot of him, and I had spent a fair bit of time with his wife who also got sick. Then my one staff member was booked off work with suspected Covid. … Continue reading August 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

July 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Aug 4, 2021Aug 5, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 16 Comments

July 2021 felt like a repeat of July 2020. We were in level 4 lockdown, curfew was 21h00 and we could not buy alcohol. Dave still owes me a bottle of whisky for my birthday as this year Eric did not have bottles hidden away. The booze ban was lifted the day after my birthday … Continue reading July 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

May 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Jun 2, 2021Apr 19, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 16 Comments

May 2021 was bracketed by two weekends away. The first was spent in Tulbagh with Eric and Bev. And the second at a gourmet getaway in Swellendam. Friends of ours from Knysna met us there and we had a superb time. May 2021 Savoury Recipes I started off by making a tahini and soy dressing … Continue reading May 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

April 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

May 5, 2021May 3, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 18 Comments

How was April 2021 for you? Work wise it was of course like chalk and cheese to last year. In 2020 we were in hard lockdown, not allowed to leave our homes for anything other than an emergency, or to go shopping for essentials. This year, we worked and what a blessing that was. We … Continue reading April 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

March 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Apr 7, 2021Mar 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 16 Comments

On the 26th of March 2021 we had been in lockdown for exactly one year. The year has not been experienced the same way by everyone. And I am extremely aware of just how blessed I am. I have said this over and over again but want to say so again. I am blessed that … Continue reading March 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

February 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Mar 3, 2021Mar 4, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

February 2021 started off like any other February. It is financial year end for many companies and so they like to keep stock levels low. I did not have any great expectations for the month, and was really surprised when we exceeded our targets. It is also meant to be heat wave month where I … Continue reading February 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

January 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Feb 3, 2021Feb 4, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

January 2021 sped by at a rapid rate of knots. My parents left on the 1st to head back home. This gave Dave and I the weekend alone before going back to work. We decided to have breakfast out at The Hickory Shack and despite the fact I ordered the smallest meal, I got a … Continue reading January 2021 Showcasing In My Kitchen

December 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Jan 6, 2021Jan 7, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

As I like to focus on the positive, calling last year 20plenty seems quite apt. I had plenty of everything I needed. And for that I consider myself blessed. Work in December 2020 was no great shakes. But it was there and we worked right up until the 21st. That is when my parents arrived … Continue reading December 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

November 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Dec 2, 2020Oct 8, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 29 Comments

For those of you who know me through the blog, you know I am a planner. So my posts are written a month in advance. This allows me to travel, and to take time off from blogging when work is a priority. But, I left my November 2020 IMK post until the US election results … Continue reading November 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

October 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Nov 4, 2020Oct 5, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 20 Comments

October 2020 was meant to be the month we went overseas. Despite our borders being open this did not happen. Italy was on the 'green' list but would not allow South Africans to visit. And The Netherlands was on the red list. So instead Dave and I spent four days on a South African road … Continue reading October 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

September 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen

Oct 7, 2020Sep 18, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

September 2020 started with our on again, off again flights which I still have to blog about. I am waiting for the situation to resolve before I do so. However, I can tell you that on the 17th we decided to cancel our trip to Europe, making it the first time in 12 years we … Continue reading September 2020 Showcasing In My Kitchen
