Formula 1 Cuisine Club Fun! - China

SO after attending my first ever and, I feel, very successful bachelorette party on Saturday night... it was with a thumping headache and suspicious bruises that I headed to the kitchen on Sunday morning.

I think i was attempting to experience panic that I had overslept by about half and hour but I'm not sure my body was listening to my brain at that stage yet! So HOW relieved was I to see a wonderful blonde man in my kitchen deftly chopping up some fruit and a fantastic mom standing at the microwave urging rice to get nice 'n fluffy! 

Honestly bless BOTH of you!

This sunday was China at 9:00 in the morning which meant me preparing some sort of chinese breakfast! 

And here is what was on the menu! (Gaylin and I plan to start a seperate blog for peeps to follow along with! save you all your own research time :P But in the meantime I'll post here!)

• First up was "Chinese Fruit Salad" 

We made this minus the star fruit tho as I just couldn't find any anywhere! Fruit & Veg is really letting me down lately! 

We did put in some pomegranate for prettyness though and it looked great with the lemon rind sprinkled over the top.

•Then I TRIED to make "Eggs in Rice Nests" which should have been simple enough but I'm thinking the oven wasn't hot enough initially so the first few bowls came out with the rice quite dry... *sigh*

It's quite a cool concep tho! 

You make a savoury brown rice with chicken stock, then add some flaked almonds and spring onions and "Italian seasoning" (I added nice fresh bean sprouts too!)

Dish into bowls with an indent made in the middle.

Crack an egg into the hole you've made and sprinkle mozzerella around the edges :)

I think if the rice hadn't dried out as much it would have been pretty cool.

I'll definately try it again tho on a smaller scale – 15 bowls popping in and out of an oven was a little intensive for this noob of a kitchen kid!

and finally for something sweet

• Kat's cheeky chocolate springrolls!

Definately the hit of the meal as far as I'm concerned! Kat came over to also save me from myself that morning and was her usual star self! 

I also completely understand why she's addicted! they ARE easy to make and yum yum yum!! It's nutella heaven! hmmmmmm....

photo's coming to this post ASAP! x

Robot love

Robots are working for me of late!

Maybe I should specify. I'm loving illustrations of robots lately and this is definitely one of my favourites so far.

So if anybody would like to find me a t-shirt like this... or a poster even, feel very free to do so!
*grin*

note: Actually if I'm completely honest I'm loving quite a few things which start with the letter "R" lately! Natasha got me hooked!! grrr...

A Bright project in more ways than one I think!

The Bright Side Project has become one of my favourite visits every day! (or at least I attempt to visit as often as possible)

Lets just say it combines 2 of my very favourite things!

A place to chance upon designers I may not have heard of yet, aaaaaaaaaand free goodies!

It's a brilliant concept! A bright idea, as I'm sure you'll agree!

Honestly. If you're resisting the urge right now to go and immediately check this link, then I'm completely shocked by your lack of curiosity.Don't go disappointing me now *grin*

oh ok fine then, lazy bones... here, read this and THEN go take a looksee

The Bright Side Project is here to bring you a little metaphorical sunshine every day, to help you stop for a second and remember life is (still) beautiful and there is goodness in the world. Most importantly, The Bright Side Project strives to build fantastic exposure for those contributors who have been generous and kind enough to participate.

The Bright Side Project Part is dedicated to YOU. All you have to do for a chance to win is answer the artist/designer’s question in the comment section. Easy-peasy! I do hope you play along each day, as your answers make our days brighter and we all need a little reminder to look on the bright side...

See? Pretty cool huh? I absolutely love good intentions and sites spreading positive ideas!

Proudly South African

Well no, not exactly. Not yesterday anyway.

I guess I’m actually not too sure what to say about this whole farcical thing anymore, other than I truly do wish an ACTUAL trial had happened. Even if then, in the courts, it was not proven without a doubt that Zuma is as guilty as many believe, at least we wouldn’t all be sitting here still in some darkness to political shenanigans playing out around us.

But hey, it doesn’t make me any less South African (even if I’m only half Afrikaner tribe…:P)
and if there’s one thing we’re good at, no matter what, it’s poking a bit of fun to cheer ourselves up!

So here guys are some “Zuma Biscuits” I found online today. I spotted them on my trip to the SA National Gallery with Maresa as well but had forgotten about them.
Now apparently Stuart Bird didn’t mean to poke fun at Zuma when he created them. Rather he was making a statement representing how…

"Just like a child will take a cookie from his parents, without thinking of health or other consequences, that's how his followers swallow his utterances, without questioning them."

Nevertheless may they make your mouth tilt ever so slightly upward, as they did mine, while we wait to see what on earth happens next in the race to the polls.

the bizznaz!
