Fortnightly Favourites Newsletter

Hi and welcome back to the fortnightly favourites newsletter.
With the hot, humid weather that we have been having, it makes sense to bring you a beautiful summer fruit this fortnight and Saratoga Fresh Fruit have a one kilo bag of nectarines for just $2.99.

We hope that you enjoy the recipes.

I just had to share with you our time at Kantara House at Green Point last Sunday. It was a beautiful afternoon with a gentle breeze blowing, shaded by large trees and the main sail. We sat and listened to the Shuffle Kings and guests from 2pm through to 6pm. What an afternoon.
I was so relaxed I felt that I had been away for a weekend rather than just a few short hours.
They are playing again on the 28th February and I would encourage anyone who is looking to spend a cruisy sunday afternoon, listening to some really cool music in breathtakingly beautiful surrounds, to come down and bring their friends.
