It’s getting hot in here !

Think comfort food this week, we’ll be serving up some classics with a Cactus twist

Think Homey’s fresh baked Mac and cheese tossed with green chilli and coriander, add bacon & tomatoes, then finish with a golden crisp cheese gratin.

A rework on the traditional Paella with a seafood rice of prawns & mussels studded with spicy chourizo sausage in a rich tomato, garlicky sauce . Mmmmhh…..that’s nice!

Still on the board this week by popular demand

Our Southern style slow roasted “Fall of the bone” lamb shanks served on fresh tossed couscous salsa fresca

On the boozy front we are running a special on three wines from Sarah’s Creek.

Straight off the slopes of the Langeberg their deliciously drinking Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon blanc wines are all available @ 64. a pop

Also on the wine side in celebration of all that is rugby try the “Glen View” Front row Sauvignon blanc @ 55.

To introduce the new “Amigo’s”on our menu we’ve paired the two in a ”El Mejor Amigo” special.

Bring your best Amigo and enjoy six of one and half dozen of the other

Get 6 sliders w/skinny fries and wash ém down with a bucket of 6 ice cold Amigos tequila lime Mexican beers for R199.

Till next time, Adios Amigo !

My wife Celeste bought one of  these a couple of weeks ago. Its basically a Consol glass jar with a solar panel on the lid and LEDs lights under the lid. It still amazes me and thought I should share it with you. I have now attached it to the ladder of my son's bunk bed for him to use as a night light. He is very happy with that!

 

The ones in the picture are frosted multicoloured but I think the more commonly available are the clear-white light.

Here is a link to the site:

I see its available online for about R150.

My wife got ours from Merrypak for R190.

 

I just love solar:)

A Mexican hertiage & pride day that commemorates the unlikely victory over French forces at

battle of Puebla on 5 May 1862.

 

We took advantage of Lisa Love's Facebook special and bought 2 of her La Soldadera prints.

Cant wait to put them up! She ships today:)
