Alpacone’s Sunburnt Marshmallows.
I freakin hate Monday’s. I’m all bug-eyed, the coffee’s just not good enough, the work’s making me nauseus. Okay, enough complaining… the point of this post is the Weekend, why anyone else would care about my weekend I don’t know… but here it is.
Saturday was the usual shopping run-around, the only worthwhile trip I remember was the library. any how Saturday night was Braai- night at Aunt-in-Law’s place ‘cos it was once in a long time that the entire family was there.
One of the boys just came back from a trip to Rome, Italy, I was so jealous when he was taking us through the details of the trip, now I really want to visit the place. Also, one ofthe other bro’s is going on course with his company for training.. and get this.. he’s going to Chicago, London, Prague and Krakow… Lucky Bastard… I’d like a trip to check out the Big Windy City, Big Ben and the place famous for suicidal novelists. But it was all good and it all ended with Barbecued (Braai-ed in Afrikaans) Marshmallows dipped in Fresh Cream. YuM!
Sunday had its typical brilliance of relaxation… Big Family breakfast, and after… taking advanta
ge of the Ever-evasive Sunshine, went to the beach for about an hour and a half, chilled at home for a while and decided to go the wharf just for a walk, and whatever with the wife… had some really good Falafel and I just loved the name of the Ice cream place… Al Pacones! Haha… Now you can see where my dire need to diet is coming from… too much of a good thing yadda yadda yadda.
And then the after-effects hit me on Monday morning when a hot shower alerts me to the fact that I was sunburnt (eina!) and also had bags under my eyes ‘cos I spent the night watching L4yer Cake cos I couldn’t sleep for some odd reason. The movie was cool though, something about how you just can’t escape your fate, you will reap what you sow… that and also that the Drug trade is like Hotel California “You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave!” :)
Peace,

braaied marshmallows dipped in fresh cream – how utterly hedonistic and deligtful.
its all about balance, eat a marshmallow, do an extra sit up. at least it sounds good in theory.
good movie – good message – dont Eff with the Serbs. I love the fact that in the end Daniel Craig, who i’m sure will suck as Bond asks the viewer if they knew what hs name was. talk about a thought provoking ‘breaking down the fourth wall’ question :)
Falafel from Ali Baba? the wraps, ( or actually donner kebabs are good) although i prefer the turkish variation with parsly- it adds so much more to the taste
once again – thanks for the fun boys night out – good host- as i said earlier, the company brought me there, the pizza kept me there ;)
