Australian Biscuits

Oct 31, 2022Sep 30, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 16 Comments

I have called these Australian Biscuits as the ingredients I have used in the recipe are not traditional. I have never tasted an Anzac biscuit, but I baked a batch of these for our road trip and to have with our coffee while we were in Sedgefield. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ … Continue reading Australian Biscuits

Jun 21, 2019May 24, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

It is necessary to be filled with confidence when you make something for a toddler. You cannot rely on your own palate and so I was very happy when Hannah tucked into the teething biscuits I made for her. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Teething Biscuits ♥ 14 years ago Dave bought … Continue reading Teething Biscuits To Offer Teething Relief

Pure Rye Sourdough

Feb 2, 2018Jan 20, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

This pure rye bread does not get much of a rise, and Jane Mason recommends that you cut the slices quite thinly. In South Africa we only get light rye flour which does not contain the bran and germ from the grain. If you make use of a dark rye you will get a darker, … Continue reading Pure Rye Sourdough

Blueberry And White Chocolate Crunchies

May 12, 2017Apr 8, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 21 Comments

There are two items my grandmother always had in her pantry. The one was pickled onions and the other was crunchies. I could eat the entire jar of her pickles in one setting had she let me. Wanting to replicate her crunchies but add my own twist, I came up with these blueberry and white chocolate … Continue reading Blueberry And White Chocolate Crunchies

Apr 21, 2017Mar 17, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 22 Comments

These humble digestive biscuits can be coated with melted dark chocolate for a slightly fancier version. Head straight on to the Recipe For Digestive Biscuits ♥ There are a few companies out there that offer a recycling service. They charge to collect your bags and you have to do the sorting yourself. Part of our rubbish … Continue reading Digestive Biscuits | Coated With Dark Chocolate

Last year I went for my first job interview in over 20 years. I was contacted by a PA of a company who were looking for someone to upload blog posts for them onto WordPress. I thought this would be a nice source of extra income, and the project sounded really good. In the follow … Continue reading Recipe For Rhubarb Crumble

Peanut Butter And Choc Chip Cookies

Feb 9, 2015Jan 25, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 35 Comments

My friend Sam told me that her son Handsome loves it when she bakes my peanut butter and chocolate rusks. This was such a compliment for me, as kids are honest to a fault about what they like and dislike. After reviewing The Family Cook Book I decided to adapt her recipe for the oat cookies and make a batch of Peanut … Continue reading Peanut Butter And Choc Chip Cookies

Haggis Recipe To Make At Home

Jun 16, 2014May 17, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 41 Comments

I have twice tried haggis and the first time was not a memorable experience. We had it at a local restaurant for Burns Night and frankly it was nothing to write home about. When we were in Scotland I ordered some at a local pub, and what made it was the whisky sauce! This month … Continue reading Haggis Recipe To Make At Home

Granola Muesli Rusks Breakfast Treat

Jul 9, 2012Jun 7, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 19 Comments

I wanted to have a good blogging schedule where I could take part in the challenges I love every month. And I was doing well, until June and then the wheels fell off the bus. For various reasons I just did not get around to last month's mingle which was hosted by the founder Meeta. It … Continue reading Granola Muesli Rusks Breakfast Treat

Dave and I went to @kenforrestervineyards to do a Chenin tasting. We have been drinking their wines for years but this was our first visit to the estate. Do not arrive an hour before they close and expect to do a tasting. It's just not possible. And do expect to pay for your tasting even if you buy wine. #cheninblanc #chenin #buysouthafricanwine #drinksouthafricanwine #buylocal #wine #winetasting #jobssaveslives #IHearYou #ISeeYou #HowCanIHelp #LavenderAndLime
Our first visit to @senoronion saw me devour my supper! This was a super generous portion and we will be back for more #mexican delights #eatlocal #eatout #visitsouthafrica #somersetwest #supper #jobssaveslives #IHearYou #ISeeYou #HowCanIHelp #LavenderAndLime
Dinner on Saturday night was at the @longtablerestaurant at @haskellvineyards. The vines are full of grapes and we walked to the lookout point before our meal. We enjoyed the seafood bisque, chicken liver parfait, garden salad, gnocchi and slow roasted lamb shoulder. All with a very refreshing chardonnay. My dessert was a total let down. Service from Eddie was excellent. And as you can see, the setting is stunning. #eatlocal #eatout #visitsouthafrica #jobssaveslives #stellenbosch #IHearYou #ISeeYou #HowCanIHelp #LavenderAndLime
