Yeah, it's been a real mug of a year. Here's its l Yeah, it's been a real mug of a year. Here's its last hurrah; banana bread mug cake topped with coffee meringue (for ersatz dalgona feels).

[This, with ice cream, fed three adults. If I were a LinkedIn life coach, I'd write a whole parable from this.]

Look, there's @fehmz at it again, ideating, creati Look, there's @fehmz at it again, ideating, creating, making wondermental things happen. These sorbet popsicles are the latest addition to the  @fehmzmocktails range of flavour experiences. I did the photography for the packaging and had the tasty honour of getting to eat my way through boxes of sorbet before most of everyone else 😀

Last week this time, we were checked into an AirBn Last week this time, we were checked into an AirBnb in the iconic Mutual Heights building in Cape Town's CBD (look up the building on Wikipedia). 
In a parallel universe, I am probably a failing architecture student. In this one, I just photograph the built environment.

I love how easy @goldencloudsa makes it to bake yo I love how easy @goldencloudsa makes it to bake your feelings better. It's almost December and while I feel like we're already pretty much mentally done with this year, there's still a short stretch ahead. I'm wrapping up work commitments and my parent friends are looking forward to the end of a trying school year. I think we all deserve a treat and these choc-mint ice cream sandwich cookies are just the thing to have stashed in your freezer for on-demand succour snacking. Check out my stories/highlights for the how-to. This Golden Cloud cake mix should be a pantry staple. If you're into portion-controlling your comfort eating but don't want to go all out with ice cream, make up the cookie according to the instructions on the box, roll into small logs, wrap tightly in freezer paper/plastic and freeze. When the hankering hits you, slice off a round or two straight from the freezer and bake in an airfryer/oven.

To recap:
I've partnered with Golden Cloud to bring you golden moments; simple bakes elevated with a tweak or two, magicking pure joy out of an everyday crumb.
Make your own golden moments and share them on the Golden Cloud Facebook page. You could win a Russell Hobbs cake mixer and claim the Golden Whisk of the Week title.

Yes, that was me on Harry Street yesterday, snippi Yes, that was me on Harry Street yesterday, snipping jacaranda blossoms off the trees just after the storm. While there are no actual jacaranda components in this drink, I am still calling it the Lemongrass Ginger Jackie - a nod to the beautiful alien invaders who enamour us every year this time with their purple florescence; a hue easily achieved when @fehmzmocktails reacts to butterfly pea flower tea. There was also a Litchi Jackie just out of frame.
