Caryn Paryn and I being lego…
So everyone that comes here knows that I’m really bad at doing the regular blog thing and I always have these “catch up” posts… Here is the latest one! I just trawled through some old photos I got off my camera and this is what I remembered… (read it after the jump!)
Tjoppies (a.k.a Nico) (right), Andrew MoHawk (left) and I (centre)… being badass (once again)!
Study, study, study, work, study, Bloemfontein (punk as fuck), driving home, study, study, study, study, study, work, players… that’s pretty much been my last couple of weeks. Test week at varsity is over, exams are around the corner, and I seem to have a work ethic. Weird.
Nearly There!
The drive to Bloemfontein on Saturday 3 October was about as exciting as the drive back to Pretoria on Sunday 4 October. Actually the drive back was more fun as we played some good ‘ol games of “I spy with my little eye” and some others I can’t remember off hand. The “festival” that we made the trip for was dusty, filled with punks and was actually everything I had hoped for. Nico and the team from Libery Valance rocked out… quickly, but rocked out none the less. Lungs filled with dust and drizzle, my homie MC was kind enough to “show us around” and took us to the Mystic Boer… hilarity ensued, pizza was eaten and smack was spoken. Good times.

The second grand thing that has happened to me has been a sudden new found love of Tom Collins’. Greatest drink ever! I mixed some up at T-Bones braai on Saturday. They were enjoyed, too much and no one took photos for you to see. As a consolation prize, I managed to take this great snap of a nasty bug that was running around that night.
Pretty gross!
I have also taken the liberty of sharing the Tom Collins recipe I got off of Wikipedia:
Tom Collins IBA Official Cocktail
Type: Mixed drink
Primary alcohol by volume: Gin
Served: On the rocks; poured over ice
Standard garnish: orange, cherry, or lime
Standard drinkware: Collins
IBA specified ingredients:
Preparation: Mix the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a tall glass with ice, top up with soda water, garnish and serve.
Drink it!
I’ve been eating loads of these awesome noodles. Go buy them, they rock. The Chinese shop where my tofu comes from sells them (Yat Kee Chinese Supermarket, Maroelana Centre, 27 Maroelana Street, Hazelwood). Add a little ginger to the mix as well for maximum awesomeness.
Thats all for now,
Rick Disco, over and out
^5!
I couldn’t make it to Oppikoppi this past long weekend, so making the most of being stuck at home Caryn and I did some cooking! On Friday night she made me delicious home made pizzas with artichokes, rosemary, rosa tomatoes, mushrooms, some fresh chillis and a whole lotta mozzarella! They came out amazingly as I’m sure the photos will show!
After eating too much we went out for a drink with my old friend Charlie… always a good time! Charlie is having an exhibition soon, but I will keep you posted on the details!
The rest of the weekend was filled with more work than I care to normally do, a good solid night of beers with Nico and Steve as well as a lovely lunch at Caryn’s family’s home. Be sure to check out Nico’s punk as f@ck band Liberty Valance out on Facebook… Two new songs up!
On Monday night it was my turn to make something awesome so I put together a few delicious stuffed peppers… this is what I did…
Grab the recipe after the jump!
