"If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain..."

Pina Coladas - check. 
Getting caught in the rain - not so much.

Chicory (Endive) and Ham Bake

Chicory & Ham Bake d-w

Chicory - or perhaps you know it as Belgian endive or witlof - is an acquired taste I'll admit. Almost cabbage-like in texture with a slight bitter flavour and rather expensive in South Africa to boot. Add to that the fact that it's not a very well known vegetable either and I can completely understand why it might not feature on the average person's grocery or to-eat list.

Mushroom, Beer & Bacon Soup

Mushroom, Beer & Bacon Soup d-w

It was inevitable really. Food blogger meets master brewer-in-training and the result had to be either a food and beer pairing or even better, beer *in* the food. Don't think I missed those ears perking up there at the back... So far I've added beer to pasta, chocolate cake, mussels, an Irish coddle and now, soup.

Bbq Chicken Orzo Salad

Bbq chicken orzo salad c-w

As a nod to all my American friends - *wave*- I decided to do a post in honor** of all the 4th of July celebrations happening on your side today. What I wouldn't give for some sun-time and freshly grilled lamb chops right around now... Although, I'm kinda glad I don't have to be braving summer clothes and especially swimsuits at the moment. Silver lining, people, silver lining.
