MUSIC: Die Antwoord

My friends, Lindy and Marc introduced me to this South African original.
South Africa! The home of Mrs. Balls Chutney, a few new world-class stadiums
and Die Antwoord [pr. De Aunt-voort]. I won’t even begin to try and compare their music and their attitude to anything or anyone. Here’s one of their music videos and there are many great articles and interviews to find out more.

FOOD: Pink Smoothie Saturday

It’s winter out here in the woods.
So when the sun comes out, I head straight for the blender.
Cut up a banana. Add some ice and frozen strawberries.
Pour in as much milk as you like and blend it. Kids love it too.
