I think everyone, once in a while needs to get out of the city. This weekend we went away for our friend’s birthday to another friend’s farm in Carolina. It was the same place we went to for my birthday 2 years ago and it’s taken us this long to go back. It was so amazing just sitting around talking rubbish, drinking port, eating braai-ed amazingness. I forget how beautiful the outside is, how cool it is to just sit in the sun and not worry about the internet or SMS’s or whose been voted off Project Runway.
We went on walks, we threw knives at a giant tree, we watched some of the boys jump undies first into freezing cold water. We had an epic eggs/bacon/tomato/toast/museli/fruit/baked beans/fried bananas/orange juice breakfast, we sat around a fire and played ‘would you rather’ for like 4 hours, that was one of the high-lights of the trip ha! Do all of you know what ‘would you rather’ is? Prepare yourselves – you go around the group and everyone gets a chance to pose a question similar to this: “Would you rather have a babies foot growing out your forehead or be buried alive on top of Barry Wronger for a month whilst being fed through a communal straw?” OR “Would you rather have baked apples for feet or pee through your mouth forever and a day?”
The best part about this game is not only how ridiculous and dark you can get, but how for like 10 minutes after the question has been posed, there is a heated discussion on who would do what and why their choice is better than yours. Trust me it’s too much fun!
Well anyway after this happy weekend I now know 2 things for sure, I would be more than happy living with a babies foot growing out my forehead and we definitely need to get out to the outdoors more often. Definitely. Thank you friends for the good times x
Happy Father’s Day to all dads, but especially to mine. Love you dad face, a lot x-o-x
On Wednesday night some friends and I went to Marina’s house for supper, gluhwein, port, chocolate pudding and old episodes of Friends. Watching Friends was so funny and a little depressing because we were all actually quite young when it was first on our TV screens, which makes us oldies now ha! Man, 90’s fashion was so wrong, just plain wrong and wrong again. Jeans too high and narrow. Chiffon skirts and hotpants, yikes! Waistcoats, but bad waistcoats and the shoes, oh the shoes, i’m still shuddering when I think about the clunky shoes. But despite the onslaught of 90’s fashion eyesores, we had such a cool evening. The food was amazing and gluhwein makes me very very happy.

I attempted the chocolate pudding recipe I posted about a while back. It came out really nicely, or so I was told. I’ve given up chocolate for the a little tiny while, I have a bet on with my copywriter, the first one to cave and trust me their have been moments, has to come to work wearing high pigtails for the whole day (me in pigtails, not a pretty sight) and carrying cash money to take the other one out for a fancy lunch.
Well anyway I didn’t have any, but Stubs scoffed hers down in about 6 minutes, so it must of been nice.
It was a really easy dessert to make if any of you are considering making it, but do keep in mind that I had to double the recipe to make 4 decent jars of it. Cool.
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1/8 teaspoon (just a pinch) salt
* 1/3 cup cocoa powder
* 1/2 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice
* 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
* 2 cups milk
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, cocoa powder, and maple syrup until smooth. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks. Slowly whisk the milk & yolks into the mixture in the pan. Set the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil and stir for 1 minute Remove from heat and stir in the butter & vanilla. Serve warm (over ice cream) or chilled (with whipped cream).
This is a print campaign that me and my copywriter Este have just completed for Chicken Licken. We got to work with my talented friends Nick, Lolly and Shaun from Says Who on it and I think they have done a fantastically rad job. Check their site out for more cool examples of their work. I think this young little team of drawers are going to be very famous one rich richies one day.
Hey guys, when you are famous would you mind remembering me and how much I like you and things dipped in chocolate. Thanks.
So what do you guys think of our posters? You can click on them to make them bigger x xx
They also drew this Chicken Licken billboard for us. It’s at Banbury Cross in Northriding. It goes with our brand new Monkey ad that we have made for Chicken Licken, don’t know if you remember last years one with the guy riding around on a scooter with a big orange monkey on his back? Well we’ve made a follow up with lank more orange fur everywhere – That’s what I was doing when I was in Wolseley a while back.
Found this cool site with all these vintage pictures of famous rockstars. Thought I would share some with you. They all look so young and innocent. I’m super into reading rock biographies these days, so when I saw these they made me very happy.
