Seeing as I didn't get around to last week's post, and now that life is becoming a blur of launches, functions and general summer merriment, I'll be sharing the whole week, and I promise I'll try and take more, and better quality pictures. I often forget and end up doing a slap dash picture of a venue, or shovel my food before I can snap away.
The past week has been busy and wonderful and also not so wonderful at the same time. We tried out a good few restaurants that have been on our hit list for a while. First off was On A Roll in Mowbray where I had my first ever cream soda float. I have had 3 since then. I can't believe I have survived 30 years without one of these. I'll be making up for lost time for the rest of this summer!
The hotdogs were pretty good - nothing comes close to a hotdog in America though. They just know how to do hotdogs.
Next up were Goloso Pizzaria and Lucky Fish and Chips. These are both walking distance from our apartment and we're making a point of trying out every single place to eat within a 500m radius from us. We'd tried Goloso's pasta restaurant over the road and we love it, and the pizza was even better. Posticino has some serious competition. And having a great fish and chip shop nearby is always a winner - but it is even better when it is a quality one that is part of the Harbour House group of restaurants. Score for Sea Point!
The last one was NV-80 Bar and Grill which opened a few weeks ago in the Checkers centre. The space is gorgeous and the food was lovely. I can highly recommend the baby kingklip and the lemon posset for dessert.
In between all of this, we had Valentine's day spoils and plenty of ice cream thanks to the heatwave - so I have my work cut out for me at the gym this week! And speaking of Valentine's day, we spent it on Clifton 4th beach with our friends, and it was one of my favorite Valentine's days yet - it really doesn't need to be about heart shaped boxes of candy and staring into each other's eyes reciting poetraaaaay. It was well spent with a nice mix of alone time, and time with people we love.
To counter all the junk and eating out, we ordered an Oscar Juicer from Yuppiechef and it has become a favorite in our kitchen, second only to my beloved Nespresso machine. I've found tons of wonderful juice recipes online and will share them all in a post soon. I have found energy boosters, skin boosters, immune system boosters and more. I have already noticed a difference in my skin thanks to all the nutrients we're packing in daily.
I am also contemplating having my wrist tattoo updated. Currently I have 3 little stars on my left wrist, and I do love them but they're fading and blurring slightly, and I have fallen in love with a crescent moon tattoo I saw online. The symbolism appeals to me and I adore the simplicity as well. I'd love to know if any of you have tattoos and the stories behind them - talk to me in the comments section!
Have a wonderful week pretty people.
