The BoM

28/05/2026

*UPDATE: The doctor showed me the lab results. He removed 48 nodules 😳

My last view from the hospital window last night before I was FINALLY discharged VS this morning 😁

An update for my fellow The BoMers:

A week ago I underwent a 5 hour operation to remove (stubborn) recurring tumors in my face/cheek.

It's been a slow recovery, but I trust that this would be my last operation. The surgeon did a proper job of removing all of the tumors.

I will be traveling back to Kzn tomorrow and hopefully I will be back at the Karkloof Farmers' Market next weekend 🙏💪🏼🍰

Thank you to everyone for their messages and support.

And also for supporting my Back a Buddy campaign which enables me to have the proper time to recover 🙏

Thank you to my amazing friends/angels in disguise who has helped me this last week 💟🩹🙏👊🏼

I'm thankful to God that I made it through all the challenges 🙏

Hello! 👋🏼🙂
I'm sharing the following with you 👇🏽

Not because I need your monetary support (so please don't unfollow me 😅)
But so that you know what I will be up to as many are speculating why I will be doing a road trip. So to clarify please read the story on the link.

I don't want to use this platform to ask for donations, but I would like to ask you to please send lots of positive thoughts on Thursday 🙏🙏 so that all will go well, and that I will not experience too much pain 😣

Because you know 😏... you will benefit from it too.

The sooner I recover, the sooner I can be back at my post to serve you your weekly dose of deliciousness 😁 🍰🥧

See you soon! 👊🏼

Operation Eina/Back your Baker Greetings all! The time has come for me to face my fear and undergo surgery that I have been putting off for over ...

Busy busy busy! 🥄

Still busy baking up a storm in the kitchen 😅

For tomorrow's Cheesecake I decided to keep it simple and celebrate the delicious taste of a New York Style Cheesecake.

Keeping it simple, but ultra delicious 👌🏼

I baked this Cheesecake during my first employment as Restaurant Manager 26 years ago 😳 and it sold out so quickly that I had to keep on baking Cheesecake at home every night.. any cupboard that you opened in the house would later smell of Cheesecake 🤣

Anyhoo... come and taste it for yourself tomorrow at the Karkloof Farmers' Market

Also on the menu:

Carrot Cake Bars
Chocolate Cake Bars

Walnut, Macadamia and Ginger Tarts
Pear Crumble
Almond and Blueberry Tarts
Triple Choc Brownies

Butternut Feta and Caramelised Onion Quiche
Spinach and Feta Quiche
Bacon and Corn Quiche

BoMbotie Empanadas
-New and Improved- Chicken Empanadas
(Yes I also wasn't crazy about the first Chicken Empanadas, so I changed the filling 🤭)

See you tomorrow! And remember, I won't be at the market next weekend 😇
