Melancholy

Today I'll share with you some of my favourite foodie photos....

I'm feeling a wee bit of melancholy...probably because of missing a few important people that I love...

So these photos are "sort of" like comfort eating to me......

Come along and enjoy with me as I reminisce about where and why these were so so special......

Cocktails with my family at Caprice in Camp's Bay.......


and  breakfast at Arnolds' in Long Street


Then a little Christmas celebration at my son's home......



Christmas Eve brunch with my children and many of their friends that slept over.....


     Cooking with the very talented "Chef Devon" at the beach.............spaghetti 'a la Devon'......awesome!!



and in Bathurst at this special spot.....




   Onion  and Feta Tart shared with good friends on Roxy's gorgeous stoep .......


and this great salad....



Crumpets for 2 special kids......with bacon and maple syrup.......


   and avo ritz's at home with a good movie...........




I know what will do the trick.....this good cuppa hot chocolate and marshmallow......

This state, too, will pass!
