Meal Planning - A New Start

I have come to the conclusion that this blog is slightly useless. Although I'm sharing my favorite recipes, recipes come a dime a dozen on the internet and what's the incentive to make someone try mine? I'm finding my blog gets about 10 hits per week (that's pathetic!)...people don't care to frequent this blog, and I don't care all that much about posting to it.I began thinking about what I enjoy about food, and recipes and the whole process of dinner itself. I am obsessed with meal planning and am constantly trying new recipes, scheduling out...

In which I am a specimen

I am always amused by something or other when I go for for the annual medical examination (which, by the way, I do once in 3 years when threatened at knife point by my Gynaec). For me it is just a chore to be completed to keep my physician quiet for another year (or three) but when I look at the others in the same room I suspect that this may have a far profounder significance - like some sort of a war against disease or something. My amusement starts when I watch people deliver samples of urine and stools. Most people put them in plastic covers...

Heaven is a place where there are friends

There is this yuppy couple in my neighbourhood. Their life represents all the aspirations of today's younger generation - dream jobs in which they are successful; a large house fitted with the most modern equipment, art on the walls, dream kitchens (used by the servants and cooks) and elegant bathrooms, a small gym and a mini swimming pool in the basement. Their cars are large and one of the two, ofcourse ,is an SUV. Their weekdays are packed with them coming home just in time for dinner. Their children get the best of everything that money can...
