Gaucho - a sneak peak!

Once upon a time, long long ago, I was a vegetarian. For eight years. But my dad always reckoned it was a "phase", and maybe he was right, because it didn't last. After reading "Eat Right for your Type" and suffering with never-ending allergies, which I blamed on my felines at the time, I realised I wasn't feeling great and maybe it was my diet. After slowly adding fish, followed by other meat, back into my diet I was like a new person, and I never looked back. As much as I wish I could give it up again altogether, I just can't quite do it. And being a South African married to a South African does mean that meat is pretty much always on the menu.

NOT all its cracked up to be

Unless you live in a cave you probably heard about, or even experienced, the Blackberry outage this week, which lasted a couple of days in some places.

I have a Blackberry, and yes I have to admit that I am rather addicted to it, and felt like I was missing a limb during this outage (although it was somewhat liberating not feeling like I constantly needed to check my emails). I am a recent convert to the madness however, have been using BB for just over a year after inheriting Stu's old one when he got a new one from work. And trust me, before I had one of my own I HATED them! And now I am one of those people who is always fiddling with my phone! Ooops.
