Thought of the Day

I just saw this question on a sign a loved it!!!  "Where will I spend my happy days?!"  

Which of course should be everyday. Better, "Where and how will I spend my days being happy surrounded by love and beauty and happiness!!!"

Cool Fact

The Birkenhead Drill, otherwise known as "women and children first", started in Cape Town when a ship sunk.

Best Bakery & Sandwich in Cape Town

Charming. Delightful. Delicious. After six months of hotel living in Cape Town and eating at restaurants for virtually every meal since then (not I'm not kidding -- I haven't cooked one thing since July) -- I have crowned Saucisse Boutique Deli the most amazing desserts but more important, best sandwich in town!  I do have a second favorite coming up next.  This quaint little bakery is located in The Old Biscuit Mill in the Woodstock section of Cape Town. And while the Biscuit Mill is loaded with food vendors not the weekend, this little bakery/deli is open all week and located in a darling storefront. It is run by a father-daughter that are always so pleased to welcome everyone in.  It is a real delight and delicious!  They have food quotes painted on the walls. Every day they feature different sandwiches for lunch.  My fav is a self-creation -- roast chicken right off the bone, avocado, tomato, cucumber, cheese, lettuce, onion, and a sprinkle of sea salt and olive oil. Yumm-yumm!  They also have a variety of cute cutting boards, kitchen supplies, and gourmet foods, cheeses, and meats!
I wanted to take the heart shaped cutting board home but it was too heavy!

Saucisse Boutique Del is located in The Old Biscuit Mill, Woodstock, Cape Town

Christmas Eve Pillow Treat

Some think Christmas in a hotel is no fun. I seem to find myself in hotels for Christmas quite often.  Most years Hawaii, but often even when I'm home in LA, I go to a great hotel for Christmas.  Being in Cape Town for the holidays was great.  Many traditions are different and many are the same. Simple is the theme here and I loved that… So this simple little ginger bread cookie made for the perfect adornment on my pillow to say goodnight.

This is Our Internet… Seriously...

So one thing Camps Bay in Cape Town is known for is NOT having internet reception. Well, honestly, for anyone wondering why they don't hear from me often, this is our means of internet in Cape Town. A "dongel" and a booster.
