Amedei Chocolate Takes the “Golden Bean” Best Bean to Bar Award
After an examination by a committee of experts of the London Academy of Chocolate , Amedei (Tuscany, Italy) has won the Golden Bean award for “the best bean to bar chocolate in the world.” That has a nice ring to it. Once someone told me my Cassoulet de Castelnaudary was “the best cassoulet in the world,” my chest still gets puffy when I think of it (it is puffy now). I imagine Alessio and Cecilia Tessieri, the brother and sister founders of Amedei, were drowning in Champagne on the night of the announcement

Anniversary gifts for him – Guitar lessons
Guitar lessons as an anniversary gift for him, doesn’t sound inspired, but bear with me. Many men have an old guitar stashed away, they learnt how to play Stairway to Heaven and never progressed. The pent-up rock star still beats in his heart, with no way to get out

Anniversary gifts for him – Aftershave
When looking for anniversary gifts for him, partners too often leave out the ‘must have’ in every mans life, aftershave. When considering the best aftershave for him, make sure you take into account your own tastes, as if it is a fragrance you comment on, he will be more likely to wear it. Men like to be attractive to their partners, it’s just they don’t always know how to go about it.

Unisa Womens Day Celebrations/Unisa Press& Inst for Gender Studies
Daughters are Diamonds was invited to a showcasing at the annual Unisa Womens Day luncheon in tamdum with projects by the Institute for Gender Studies and Unisa Press. I must admit, I was fascinated by the immense positive regard and the energy generated by speakers, participant musicians and the women in attendance! What a vibe! The Annual Feroza Adams Memorial Lecture was fittingly presented by an emotive Ms Motsei (of Kanga and the Kangaroo Court fame). Guests were treated to gifts of colourful thought and rose-scented turkish delight

Using Our Spiritual Gifts To Bless Others
WE HAVE A GREAT HOPE We have a great hope that together we can make a difference, that one day we will see: the promises of our faith, the fruits of our labor, and the results of our perseverance. With churches reaching out to communities, sharing the gospel and meeting the needs of the poor and needy, we believe it is possible to have: Neighborhood sanctuaries full, integrated with people from all races praising God together. Streets that are safe to walk on, without gangs or violence.

Letter response: Lifting the Veil
Dear (Ms Reporter) I have just had a chance to read the Mercury article that you wrote, and am sufficiently surprised to see that the article turned out significantly different from what we discussed. The message of Daughters are Diamonds does not relate to the issue of the veil or its abolishment, neither do I say that the headscarf is irrelevant! In our correspondence, I said to you to please not mix-up the issues and also that in no way suggest that I see the headscarf as a form of oppression.

Limpopo BookFair 23-26April2007
I have just stepped out of the Limpopo Book Fair on Indigenous Languages, where I was honoured as a local author, even though my work is written in the English language. Having met a stream of interesting people, the likes of Professor Neville ALexander of UCT and Joan De Beer of the National Library, among others, the week turned out more than mundane eventfulness! Seminars, workshops and features in the foyer of the building that houses Polokwanes Main Library and the Museum of Art, made for a memorable artsie few days most delectable to the creative artiste’s tastebuds

Idea: Swap Enhancement Kit
I have an idea for part of my SIL T’s gift. Both SILs are knitters, but T is also a knit-swap-joiner. Big-time, So, I thought about making a bunch of things she can use to enhance swap packages: I already bought her a roll of fabulous patterned tape I’ll make her some return address or shipping labels, with her address but “Your Swap Pal” or something instead of a name (thanks to Cate for that idea) Knitting-themed enclosure cards “Reveal” Cards, based on the “New Friend From Camp” cards I bought and have started sending out.
