jamie olivers chocolate tart (or my funny tartlets)
Well, I wanted to make Jamie Olivers baked chocolate tart for my dad's birthday, but, not feeling brave enough to attempt blind baked pie crust and not being able to find any ready made ones in the shop, I had to settle for these little tartlets. It turned out that even though I had bought two packs of them I still had way too much filling left over after using them all and ended up sticking the rest into my trusty muffin tin and baking it without a crust. This worked even better than the pie shells and I'll definitely do it that way again. Who needs pastry when there is so much chocolaty goodness.

date night at tuscany beach in camps bay
I think I've mentioned before that Rudi and I try to do date night every week. Well, for the last couple of months it hasn't really been happening every week, or every two weeks for that matter. Actually, it hasn't happened in a while. We've just been so crazy busy and I know that the whole point of date night is to make time for each other when we are so busy, but we've just been really bad about it.
So Rudi, the wonderful man that he is, decided to put a stop to this and took me out for date night to camps bay. I had lovely sushi and even ordered a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster (thought I'm sure it wasn't as awesome as the ones in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was really great to just get away from the house and work and spend some time together.

breakfast in franschoek
Yesterday morning we met one of my wonderful clients at Le Quatier Francois Hotel in Franshoek for breakfast and a meeting. It was a stunning day. Hot, clear and no wind. I said to Rudi we really need to make the effort to go out there more often and I'm dying to go walk around all the little shops in the main street.

we officially (kinda) own a home
{that's our back door. Look at the cute light}
Why I say kinda is that all the legal documents have to get sorted, but yesterday we signed all the documents and today we paid the deposit so the house is finally ours. I'm so excited and at the same time I can't believe it.
In less than a month we will be in our very own home :)
