Cheese Straws are yummy

A friend of mine made these and was kind enough to tell me where the recipe came from! The only thing this recipe doesn't mention is that the 30ml Roberston they refer to is the Robertson's herb pastes that come in tubs at the supermarket.
Quite a nice idea and perfect for a quick snack or to take to a function.

Huge Rainbow over Durban CBD


The view from my office after it rained in Durban. Beautiful rainbow, with a second rainbow developing on the right hand side. Stunning!

Ground Cover - KZN Midlands

I visited Ground Cover, a leather work shop in the KZN Midlands over the weekend. They had
a huge pile of off cuts outside, which they very kindly give away for free!

The scary task of repotting my large Adenium!

I decided that it was time to repot my large Adenium Multiflorum, its been in the same pot for about 3 years now, so its long overdue!  The whole process took about 2 hours, which involved removing the plant, cleaning it off, pruning the roots and repotting - shew!

I had pruned the branches a couple of weeks ago as the leaves were covered with mealy bug! So a nice clean start for my biggest Adenium Multiflorum.

The plant from its top branches to the bottom is about 1 metre. I'll be posting a pic of it repotted soon!


Removed from pot with caudex and roots still covered in soil.

Clean caudex and pruned roots.

Close up! What an awesome root system!
