Weekend Snapshots
Last week I received a small package of goodies from my friends at NoMU. Included was a “coffee rub” which may sound weird, but smells great – it’s no wonder I wasted no time on Friday night spicing up a juicy fillet steak to throw on the braai.
Spice it up a little bit
As I’m a man of variety, I had to compliment my experimental steak with these new beef ribs I found at Woollies and some Fry’s vegetarian hotdogs for the girlfriend. She don’t eat meat, but she sure like the bone!
Ribs, steak & sausages sizzling away
Everything turned out great as usual, but special mention needs to go to the coffee rub fillet… oh my god! It was seriously incredible! Who would have thought a slight coffee flavour on your steak would be so delicious? I know – the guys at NoMU of course. Just look at this juicy steak… go get yours now!
Perfect. Pink. Fillet.
When the food was all done we got stuck into a series called Life As We Know It and fell asleep with the crazy dachshunds…

Saturday I spotted this car in the new Woodmead centre:
Patriotism.
Either he’s the guy who stole your flag during the world cup. or he’s spend the equivalent value of his car on South African spirit. Even the inside was plastered in our national colours!
In the evening, we hooked up with some of the boys at a spot in Sunninghill called Beach Blanket Bohemia. It’s been open for a long time, but we’ve just never stepped inside and given them a try. A lesson well learned as we were really impressed with their food and service. 10 Points to Beach Blanket!
These guys make a mean pizza!
After a few rounds, we made our way to Movida where a bunch of guys decided to Halloween-it-up! The place was packed and at least 10 soon-to-be-married women were there, each with an entourage of “woo” girls that made me cringe every time the DJ put on a new song! “WOO”. FFS! The music was great but I have to ask why there is absolutely no ventilation in that place?! The only thing worse than coming home stinking of smoke is actually leaving a place because it stinks of smoke so badly!

Sunday we went shopping and Lauren found herself a cute little hat in Sandton City. She looks great in her little dress from YDE! MMMM!
The epitome of beauty & cuteness
In the afternoon we made a mission to Rosebank – we were completely surprised at how awesome the new section of The Zone is. There are loads of new stores (Nike, Superga, Cross Trainer, Forever New, Diesel, Luella, Republik, etc) and a bunch of great restaurants popping up too (KOI, Piza e Vino, Doppio Zero, Vida e Caffe and more).
In the Rosebank market we found a crowd selling those weathered picture frames and mirrors. It was a clear cut sign to start a collage picture frame wall in the pad! We purchased three frames and a central mirror and plan to collect a few more each week until the wall is full.
The collage picture frame wall is born
These frames did require some handy work, but I’ll put that in a DIY post of it’s own later in the week – then you can learn the best way to hang frames. 10/10!
