On brushing blankets and the value of anti-productivity in the new normal
Amid the new normal and still in the throws of long covid, blanket brushing taught me the validity of anti-productivity. That is, doing things not on your list but just because you’re called to, and being present enough to listen to what they reveal.
A friendly reminder in mindfulness from you dinner time aubergine
It was a strange and rare occurrence — a night on which I wasn’t particularly hungry. I clicked on the gas and heated three slices of bread in the pan. No, I don’t own a toaster. It’s part of my ‘living with less’ lifestyle philosophy. Once golden brown, each slice...

What the heck is switchel and why you should get fresh with it this summer
I’m not telling you about this because it’s trendy. It’s not even a new trend. No, as far as following the flock goes, I tend to run in the other direction of what’s currently considered ‘cool’. I refuse to eat anything ‘unicorn’ – that is something which has been...
Lentil patties and soy schnitzels: Are vegetarians stealing the carnivore’s dictionary?
They were browning beautifully, and by all definition, qualified as successfully cooked fireside food – somewhat charred, perfectly buttery. My aubergine steaks were ready. That’s right, I said steaks. Fellow braaiers, well into their 4th beer, dove with candour into...
