The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown

By ovi on 30.06.2010

Some pic­tures from The National Arts Fes­ti­val in Gra­ham­stown 2010 I vis­ited with my friend Ayanda. I man­aged to shoot just a cou­ple of pic­tures as most of the plays had a strict no pho­tog­ra­phy pol­icy in place. This also severely lim­ited the qual­ity of the pic­tures — try­ing to get good shots while hid­ing your cam­era is sim­ply not work­ing for me!

  • 100g of sugar
  • 100g of butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1Tbsp of bak­ing powder

In case you’re won­der­ing what pud­ding is you might be more famil­iar with these terms: blanc­mange, mold or flan. Addi­tion­ally here is what my dic­tio­nary yields: thick custard-​based dessert often fla­vored with vanilla, choco­late etc. I have suc­cess­fully sub­sti­tuted the pud­ding for 500ml of vanilla fla­vored cus­tard.Pow­ered by Hack­adelic Slid­ing Notes 1.6.4
The orig­i­nal recipe was using tan­ger­ines but I have suc­cess­fully used a vari­ety of fruits rang­ing from sliced peaches to apri­cots, straw­ber­ries, etc. so don’t worry about the exact type of fruit, sim­ply exper­i­ment!Pow­ered by Hack­adelic Slid­ing Notes 1.6.4

Help me fill my friendship wall!

By ovi on 23.05.2010

In a recent moment of nos­tal­gia I decided to put up all the old post­cards I received from friends over the years and became quite melan­cholic. I do miss you my friends, wher­ever you are now. It doesn’t mat­ter how long we have been out of con­tact, you know I miss you nev­er­the­less. In this fast-​moving world it’s quite easy to lose con­tact despite the many avail­able net­work­ing ser­vices there are. I recently signed up on Face­book to find some long-​lost friends, lost in time and space of this fast paced world we live in, but that is not the same thing :-( I do miss see­ing you, chat­ting and hang­ing out with you.
