the taste of spring

with mornings still and fresh
like crispy apples
with days warmer and longer
my garden is budding and blossoming with new life

the beautiful arum lilies below
is called 'varkore' in the Afrikaans-language
it literally means 'pig's ears'!



never skip your brain food
eat breakfast!!

occasionally a B-I-G breakfast is fine
~ some men can really eat a huge meal each morning ~
and my sons will enjoy it too!! 
coffee, farmers sausages, eggs, tomato, toast and mealie meal pap(porridge)

henk and i prefer something lighter
like muesli and yogurt

you can easily make your own granola

is from food-fundi suné niemand
treat your family or friends
 & serve this with yogurt panacotta
