Its the Weeeeeekkeeeend BABY!

Its the weekend. No profound blog post required - the fact that it is weekend is good enough :) and it is going to be a busy weekend for us too. 

There is lots to be done... cooking, eating, (tea) drinking, dreaming and shopping of course. We will even make a trip out to the airport (have you seen how fantastic the Cape Town International Airport is looking... super stylish, convenient and trendy too, a real travelling-shoppers haven) to say goodbye to one of our other halves.

In the mean time (or until we get started on the cooking, eating, drinking, dreaming and shopping) enjoy some obsessing...

Since most of our weekends revolve around food: eating it, cooking it, shopping for it (and sharing it too... we promise) we had to let you in on our latest obsession - the yuppiechef site. This is Aaaahhh-mazing! Filled with the coolest, prettiest and most useful kitchen stuff out there, this site will keep you busy for hours. And, even more exciting - they have a blog! (boyfriends, if you are reading this - buying your lady something for the kitchen is no longer taboo- as long as it comes from yuppiechef and is wrapped in their new eco-friendly and gorgeous giftwrap... because we don't just love pretty stuff, we love the environment too).

Here are a few of the items we love, love, love...

How can anyone not love this? It is even shaped like a heart.

Doesn't this kettle make you want to boil a whole pot of tea and snuggle with a loved one in front of a roaring fire (with two stylish giant sized mugs and a furry blanket)

  

How cute and clever are these measuring spoons? And they come in the best colours :)

How genius is this "rack" for the fridge? No more rolling beer bottles. 

  

These are brilliant. Being slightly elevated these utensils prevent mess and are more hygienic. 

This little herb-saver jar looks more like a centrepiece than a kitchen utensil. We love it. 

And.... we had to save the best for last...

Looking at these makes us think of waking up to the sound of beautiful bird song outside our windows. Make your garden more bird friendly and hang a few of these from trees, bushes and poles outside your home. Made from mouth-blown glass and designed to withstand wind, weather and beating wings this feeder is on our must-buy list for summer.

  

Ok. It is official- we are in love. Have a happy weekend fellow yuppie chefs. Cook, eat and be merry :)
