October is breast cancer awareness month, and although I know that (hopefully) all of us are concerned about this horrible disease, I suspect that a lot of us don’t really think about it too much until, god-forbid, either we, or someone we love, is diagnosed with it.

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story
Remember that tomorrow when you tuck into your braai. Enjoy the food, enjoy the company and, above all, enjoy this [...]
In honour of the fact that tomorrow today is National Braai Day – okay, more correctly it’s Heritage Day, but for some reason (I forget quite what) it was ordained braai day, and as the new moniker has the blessing of the Arch himself (the one, the only, the incredible Archbishop Tutu, in case you were [...]
