A House Warming Promise

My old college recipe file
Many many months ago, I made a promise to Borat and Latin Hips, the day they move into their new place and invite us for a house warming, I will make them a Greek Coconut Tart.  I haven't made this since college days (as in more than a decade ago, since I graduated in 2005).  Damn, I'm getting old.


So back to the tart, I never had a chance to buy the ingredients beforehand, as Husband had a market in Wellington (thank heaven we slept over at Froggie's place) on Friday and Saturday.  The reason I mention that is I got my hands on 4 different types of smoked salt (thank you Ronel) at that market, so all I can say is:  "Watch this space."  Interesting recipes are coming in the future.  And yes, she did say I'm allowed to mention her by name.  You can find her facebook link here.

A Last Visit

Firstly, I have to say, the day this blog was written was 21 January 2017.  The reason I didn't publish it then, is I wasn't sure if I would ever want to.


Today we went to visit a friend that has Cancer.  Not just any type, but terminal.  It is difficult, to say the least when you go visit someone you know might only live for a few more months, or even weeks.  You always hope you can see that friend again, but the truth is, there are no guarantees.  What do you take to a friend in this instance for a visit?
