<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">While reflecting today having reached another milestone, I realise that I am living the good life - in every sense of the word. I have family in my life who show me everyday that I am special and I have friends who constantly remind me that notwithstanding the continents that separate us, friendships that are worthwhile are lasting that neither time nor distance can destroy.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">As I reflect too on The Tipsy Tart over the last two years, I realise that I have grown from a woman who was naive and believing to now being a strong woman with a business that is growing swiftly and successfully. With any business it takes </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">maturity and time and with the right support behind me, I have learnt how to filter out the fakes and flick them off for the vultures that they are. </span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">So let the love and kindness of my family and friends together with thrill of the roller coaster of my business continue with all things positive while I continue having moral ethics of running a business in honesty and originality.</span></span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #141823;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">With love from</span></span></span><br>

How you bring summer to your day. The Tipsy Tart's Cucumber and Mint Gin with tonic water, ice, lime juice, a few lime peels, cucumber slices and mint leaves.<br />
<br />
So much sunshine in a glass that you will need to put on your hat, glasses and slap on some suncream.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my little business and am constantly thinking of ways to improve my company and how I serve my vodkas at Markets, Festivals, Cocktail and Hen parties, so when I saw this cheeky little red snow cone machine, I just knew I had to have it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It arrived today and I my friends, have fallen in love with this simple gadget. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It just so perfect for The Tipsy Tart and I cannot wait to test it out on my customers especially since summer has finally arrived in the UK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, I had to try out my vodka liqueurs to see if it was as good as I thought it would be and I am happy to report that I was definitely not disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only was it delicious, it is also so light and easily transportable and together with a small cooler box of ice, cups and straws, a delicious vodka slush is how available anywhere. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love being creative and allowing my imagination to dream up new recipes and ideas and if there is any holiday, birthday or seasonal event just around the corner, I love involving my family in the preparations. I am really blessed to have two cute willing volunteers never too far away who drag chairs into the kitchen to stand on at the same time they are rushing to put their aprons on. The saying that many hands spoil the broth is definitely not true - how could it be when fun, laughter and memories are being created. No camera could ever capture the pride and smiles afterwards when our "creation" is complete.<br />

While thousands of woman are out and about buying new toys for themselves this summer after reading the mummy porn book called Fifty Shades of Grey and making the sales of erotica in shops like Ann Summers - rise sky high, I decided to go shopping as well. However, unlike most woman, my purchase was for a Nordic Exercise Walker instead.<br />
<br />
My husband has now informed me that he too will be going to go shopping for a new toy - a pair of handcuffs from Ann Summers, strictly for the purpose of handcuffing me to the exercise machine to make sure he gets his money's worth after what it cost me!!!<br />

Shortly after my family arrived in the UK - we went on holiday to Cornwall to unwind and relax after an extremely stressful move from South Africa. We stayed in a quaint Youth Hostel which was close by a cove. A week of the kids playing in the sea and my husband and I sitting in a deck chair on the beach - sounded like heaven.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, the reality was that it rained all the time, the kids moaned continually because they could to go to the beach but my husband and I laughed a week away reading the antics of Adrian Mole stuck in our little room oblivious to all the noise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I perfect introduction to Adrian Mole and life in the UK.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I highly recommend this book as it is really so very very funny.</div>

in South Africa and just had to share with you and show you just how gorgeous I was all those years ago.</div>

We have known each other for nearly 30 years and although we have had our highs and lows during these years, she has never faulted in her love for my children nor the friendship that she has always shown me. We now live on the opposite sides of the earth to each other and do not get to see each other very often and when we have, it has been with family and friends.<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />

<br />
<br />
So it was only during our little adventure together on our own in a foreign country with only ourselves to rely on, did I get to truly know my friend. While I always knew she was a fantastic aunt and friend, I found out that my wonderful "strong" friend worries about missing trains, planes, buses and always likes to know the exit plan of any city the day before departure. She does not like being looked at by strangers especially when I am being stupid next to her or talking too loud and bringing attention to her. She is shy and nervous at meeting new people and always worries that she gives the right impression and always give off a little giggle when she is not sure that she has!!<br />
<br />
I also found out that she is extremely generous to a fault with everyone that she knows and spent the whole time trying to find the right gift for friends and family and asks for nothing back in return. I saw that my friend is a softie on the inside and showed more than once, her vunerable side. My friend is kind, funny and heaven forbid give her a drink - then becomes ever so naughty. She is so beautiful and when her eyes shine, she is stunning.<br />
<br />
But what I saw most was that I have a wonderful caring friend and that she made the most amazing travel companion anyone could wish for and that I am so grateful to have her in my life. The laughs we shared together, the tears we cried together, the Aperol spritz we drank together and the ever so delicious meals and ice creams we ate together are what will take our 30 year friendship to hopefully the next 30 years and give us more wonderful memories to look back on in time to come.<br />

<br />
I have been away for a while travelling Europe with my good friend Debi and attending a fabulous family wedding in Italy. I ate so many delicious new flavours and ice creams and drank so many glasses of my new favourite drink that I have come home so happy and slightly heavier than when I left.<br />
<br />
However, I find that no matter how many new, exotic or gourmet food that I experience, sometimes what I eat and cook at home - is always best and after eating out in restaurants and street cafes for three weeks, a slice of toast and marmite is what I craved most when I got home and it did not disappoint.<br />
<br />
And as the saying goes, you either love it or hate it.....and my blogging friends - I absolutely love it. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So say that I am addicted to Rose Water and Turkish Delight is an under statement. I love the smell of the natural rose water and the taste of the jelly covered in chocolate is a taste I never get tired of. My children know that if they ever need to sweeten me up for a favour - this is the way to do it and it works every time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I also use the natural Rose Water every day - morning and night, on my face. The smell is beautiful and because it has no harsh chemicals, it is so gentle for your face yet it is fantastic at removing dirt. I have been using it for such a long time and never have any problems with my skin whatsoever. I take it with me whenever I go away and for fear of ever running out, I buy bottles and bottles are a time and the absolute bonus is that for a big bottle - costs less than £1.00.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To my excitement the last time I went to my favourite Indian supermarket, I discovered a Rose Water Syrup which is wonderful as a cordial on a hot day with lots of iced cold water and a block of ice or two. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">This wonderful syrup got me thinking - what else could I do with it and this is what I came up with....I love rice pudding so poured some of the syrup in with the milk and when it was creamy and done and had chilled slightly, I poured over homemade chocolate sauce. Perhaps not to everyone's taste but to mine it was heaven.</span><br />

<br />
however, when I tried it in ice cream and chopped turkish delight in with it, it was an instant hit - my family absolutely loved it and my sweet little granddaughter - stopped for a little while, to allow me to take a picture of her eating it.<br />

Today has been one of those absolutely fabulous days where I have been at home all day. The weather has been dull and cold with rain most of the day - but I have just been so warm and happy in kitchen having the most wonderful French Affair.<br />

Some days are just so perfect and today has been one of those days. <br />

I would buy it just before I caught the bus home from work and spend a wonderful hour reading it from cover to cover.<br />

In one addition, there were about three of four different ice creams that had been entered in a competition and the winning entry was Peppermint and Caramel Ice Cream.
<br />
<br />
For those of you that do not know, Peppermint Crisp is a chocolate which most South Africans absolutely love. Unfortunately is not sold at our local supermarket or corner cafes. I have however found an alternative which although is not as nice, does satisfy my craving for the original.<br />
<br />
I made the ice cream all those years ago and it became an instant favourite and although I cannot remember the exact recipe, I have adapted to what I remember.<br />

My family love burgers - obviously homemade with loads of toppings. However, everytime, I made them, the burger patty broke and there was something always missing - always slightly dry or lacking flavour....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, all that changed when I discovered - Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese...extra light of course to keep the fat content down.....although sour cream or creme fraiche works just as well but the extra flavour that the garlic and herb gives the burgers is fabulous....I add nothing else other than a bit of salt and pepper and add a tablespoon of dijon mustard and the extra bonus is that they never ever break or crumble.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It makes them so soft and juicy and absolutely delicious and I promise you - they will be the best burgers you ever make....you have just got to give it a try....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Add what ever toppings you want - last night I had cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and lettuce and some peri peri mayonaisse ...</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
As my son rushed out the door this morning for school - he shouted that he would love a Nando's Chicken Peri Peri Burger for supper tonight. Nando's is the trade mark name of a restaurant company that started in South Africa and is now popular worldwide for their peri peri sauce. The main food that they cook is chicken and it is based on a traditional Portuguese's recipe. This sauce is hot but has an almost addictive flavour that once tasted, is so hard to resist time and time again.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I have made many peri peri sauces over the years and although they are all delicious and hot hot!!! my son still remains loyal to the original one and refuses to have his mind changed.<br />
<br />
What I always do is marinate the chicken in the peri peri sauce for a few hours and then just pan fry it for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. You can add whatever toppings you like but my son prefers it just with lettuce and a dollop of extra sauce.<br />
<br />
But as much as he loves the taste and heat - the soothing cold milk is never far away.......<br />

<br />
One of the "fruits" that both my husband and son love are avocados and they made a promise to each other to eat one every day for the duration of our holiday<br />
<br />
While staying with my wonderful sister-in-law in Cape Town, she took us to her local vegetable shop and this was the display of avos that greeted us as we walked into the shop. <br />
<br />
My son had never seen so many avos together before as our local supermarket and fruit shop only sell a few at a time which are mostly hard and terribly expensive when you get them and are never as good as the ones in South Africa.<br />
<br />
An avo a day for a a few weeks - we obviously left the shop heavy laden and for the next few weeks, two happier tummies you could not find. They had one each for breakfast every morning mashed with a bit of lemon juice, salt and cracked black pepper.<br />

Avos today still remain their favourite quick and healthy snack and my son stills has it for breakfast rather than cereal or porridge.<br />
<br />
Last night, my family did not want a heavy cooked meal so we all decided that we would have avo and bacon on toast.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Today I want to dedicate my blog solely to my absolute gorgeous grandson, Justin who is turning 6 in a few days. He has just started playing rugby and yesterday he was chosen to hold the team flag and to wave the 1st team onto the pitch for the match that they were playing. It was such an exciting time for him and just so sweet to watch the innocence of a child and how proud children do become when given a bit of responsibility.</span></div>

I love watching cooking programmes on TV and at the moment we have a fantastic show on called The Hairy Bikers Bakeation where they go around Europe tasting all the different food that each country has to offer and they especially love breads and pastries.</div>

My husband loves having a BBQ and will at any opportunity suggest we have one regardless of the weather. We have even been known to cook outside in the snow with friends on New Year's Eve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I saw this in a South African food shop, I just knew that I had to buy it for my husband for his birthday. The idea is that you place a tin of beer (three quarter's full) inside the chicken's cavity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the flavour of the beer leaves the chicken tasting absolutely wonderful as well as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keeping it incredibly moist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we had all my family for lunch yesterday for Easter Day, what better time to try it out and see if it is as good as it sounds.</div>

Some days when you are tired and really just not in the mood to stand for hours creating magic, by doing just a few simple steps, delicious food is never far away and this is such a meal. It is really impressive enough for serve for a dinner party or perfect for a BBQ in the garden.<br>
<br>
Take a lamb steak and place it on a sheet of tinfoil<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_wzzaa-9sZMV8mo6YidkfAvNdlSl5fE3NB6AgcCEZhn_IQeXDiofDSPx4wtNIxUzhq4r6eeoXpUWByXoP-sDNw2k2h5BWaOwuXbYw_Yy3JF6ZqdygcHeCsbwM5pdOEyoJ1eL3VM6kyoP/s1600/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_wzzaa-9sZMV8mo6YidkfAvNdlSl5fE3NB6AgcCEZhn_IQeXDiofDSPx4wtNIxUzhq4r6eeoXpUWByXoP-sDNw2k2h5BWaOwuXbYw_Yy3JF6ZqdygcHeCsbwM5pdOEyoJ1eL3VM6kyoP/s320/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+002.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
Take a tablespoon or two of red pesto sauce and grate some lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon and mix together.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdgj9Fid_2NLMYhV_PYU8c28rQO8eaF4lnUxKAYL_nvxrs01kMnt445tVBr8AeML7hq3ww3ugE45IEzE4WRJtvCCDp9B0b1bT4CQAtA3J4e0B6eMUYHDJRCA08nMMcN2MnKqz9RjhhxrK/s1600/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdgj9Fid_2NLMYhV_PYU8c28rQO8eaF4lnUxKAYL_nvxrs01kMnt445tVBr8AeML7hq3ww3ugE45IEzE4WRJtvCCDp9B0b1bT4CQAtA3J4e0B6eMUYHDJRCA08nMMcN2MnKqz9RjhhxrK/s320/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+003.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
Spread a layer of the red pesto sauce on top of the lamb steak. <br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59JLq_RoBRNOLEBCK8Yn23VpMobRt6kFydkEeGEYH2U2AY9lC9XEEFis8Peyy1ZZRKF1jjzDBbhgXeEjyQVZGmTGcuQZO-pOWVdX4BDhSsxXltdqstKRrjbQ5gV8HDMsFLlgeSKo-I4qz/s1600/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59JLq_RoBRNOLEBCK8Yn23VpMobRt6kFydkEeGEYH2U2AY9lC9XEEFis8Peyy1ZZRKF1jjzDBbhgXeEjyQVZGmTGcuQZO-pOWVdX4BDhSsxXltdqstKRrjbQ5gV8HDMsFLlgeSKo-I4qz/s320/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+006.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
And wrap it tightly so that the folds are facing upwards and no juice can leak out.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuVuHO_6ce56bSpqEDt_9rg_dRf1gge0aKGx45_gnEmDpM4hOOOFUuGgrT4v6ajwklpZi-ShtcOYVv0thWKcw7o8zWvJcrgGRcPjcY_7FEH1FdEkKgywFVgf1k1A6dqZ3SnYQT-RPjLyLj/s1600/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuVuHO_6ce56bSpqEDt_9rg_dRf1gge0aKGx45_gnEmDpM4hOOOFUuGgrT4v6ajwklpZi-ShtcOYVv0thWKcw7o8zWvJcrgGRcPjcY_7FEH1FdEkKgywFVgf1k1A6dqZ3SnYQT-RPjLyLj/s320/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+009.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
Take a red pepper or two and cut open and de-seed.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdy6NKpFFvCVUNrxiRA4zVDEhw_KFbjovZRn4u5Ur2n45d7xiVGrTtZjpwdU-_Hp2MdXKUwJgOIS2VRBEHpgHd3JHYXs3ZNj_NbnnhziLab13BwV9XxpOHJd-d_gb36wL9zDDMQP4omQO/s1600/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdy6NKpFFvCVUNrxiRA4zVDEhw_KFbjovZRn4u5Ur2n45d7xiVGrTtZjpwdU-_Hp2MdXKUwJgOIS2VRBEHpgHd3JHYXs3ZNj_NbnnhziLab13BwV9XxpOHJd-d_gb36wL9zDDMQP4omQO/s320/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+010.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
And put into the middle of each pepper about four cherry tomatoes<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_nl2TAYvn7mpQjnJ-ClYhlx2o2PuVGIrkvao52wOP_JtJyv5um7z61d_f6fI5JIM2fck6jFn3M6UOOHQ6HMPtbM6_J9kdCtKMa9R1Hw3sQ2y243AcCEnw07yJ4UrP__r5g-V5XmGDSXXm/s1600/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_nl2TAYvn7mpQjnJ-ClYhlx2o2PuVGIrkvao52wOP_JtJyv5um7z61d_f6fI5JIM2fck6jFn3M6UOOHQ6HMPtbM6_J9kdCtKMa9R1Hw3sQ2y243AcCEnw07yJ4UrP__r5g-V5XmGDSXXm/s320/lamb+with+pesto+and+red+peppers+013.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
Slice very thinly a garlic clove and put one or two slices in between the tomatoes and add three anchovies over the tomatoes and then the oil from the tin - sprinkle over the whole pepper.<br>
<br>
Anchovies when cooked melt and give the pepper the most wonderful flavour and saltiness.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put both the steak and peppers in the oven for about an hour at a temperature of about 180 C</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until the pepper is roasted and the tomatoes soft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I was browsing through a few blogs the other day and found a fabulous blog called Curly Girl Kitchen by Heather whose recipes and food is amazing. <br />
<br />
<br />
However, there was one that just called to me saying "make me, make me, be mine" and as I find it so hard to resist any wonderful cause, I did. <br />
<br />
Although I have not yet made the coconut muffins and my version of the kiwi lime curd is definitely not as pretty, it tastes pretty good even if I say so myself.<br />
<br />
<div>

<br />
<br />
And that got me thinking (as you do) - I had Lemon and Raspberry Curd in the fridge so why not make Passionfruit Curd which I know is delicious and make a pudding with the four different flavours - and so I did.<br />
<br />
I took all the flavours that I had and just mixed each of them individually with a tablespoon or two of whipped double cream and put the filling in a meringue and this is is how my awesome foursome ended up looking like.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Other than to tell you that I took two tubs of chocolate philly and mixed it together with two big tablespoons of extra thick double cream and put a very very big tablespoon into the middle of each of the 8 meringue nests and then grated a bit of toblerone over - I shall say no more other than to let my photos do the talking for once...<br /><div>
