Weekend Snapshots

This past weekend started a tad early on Friday afternoon. While taking a number of shirts to my new tailor in Rivonia, I could not help myself… I had to stroll to Indulge - it’s the only place I know that pulls off the type of things you see in Cake Boss and whenever I’m there I find myself wanting to buy something for the sake of sweetness – this time it was a pair of Lindt cupcakes.

Saturday saw me doing the usual errands typically ending up at Sandton City with a bit of shopping. We were naturally lured into La Senza where they seem to have a super promotion every other weekend – this time it was R150 off Bra’s and Panties at R250 for 2. Can you believe the mind games they play on innocent women out there? I suppose it’s one of the reasons we love em!

As you know I love a great steak! So a weekend isn’t a weekend unless I’ve burnt some meat on the braai – even if it is a quick 45 minute cook-up!

On Sunday I went to Pomodora in Morningside for some spaghetti. I’ve never been before as the centre isn’t exactly my vibe (lets sit at Tasha’s with our Tom Ford shades, watch the Ferrari’s go by and sip on chocochino’s). I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent service and the pricing was reasonable too. Initially I would have said the portions could have been bigger, but for once I left an Italian restaurant not feeling like I was about to explode – it hit the spot perfectly!

Sunday night, right after the depression that is Carte Blanche, I fell victim to a McFlurry. Yes, it’s sad – missioning out in the rain on a quest for sweetness we got Oreo and caramel choc-chip (my favorite) and devoured em while watching The Ugly Truth, Kardashians and The Spin Crowd. Yes, I watch the Kardashians and chick-flicks in addition to hardcore actions and epic war films. Don’t judge me.
