Build wealth. Love your life
When I was a little girl I didn’t call this chicken fricassee; this was my mother and her friends when they shared cooking tips. I called it ‘white chicken’. My son used to call it ‘baby stew’; now he simply tells me that he eats it not because he enjoys…
Last night, our Mexican visitor made Spanish omelette for us. Or to use its proper name ‘tortilla de patatas’. “Maria, I can’t really cook. I like cleaning more.” This is what she told me when I said that we like people staying in our house to be part of the…
It is Saturday and I’m feeling a bit down. Having had very bad backache for close to two weeks now doesn’t help. Judging by my reaction to pain now, I suspect I’ll be one of these grumpy, self-obsessed old women one day. Except if I have the sense to feel…
Vegetarian our household is not; and it’s very unlikely to be. This dish – oven baked tuna is a suffered compromise between a protein eating enthusiastic teen (my youngest son) and a reformed health eating obsessive (me). I used to be vegetarian. I was strict with it for about five…
You are either already thinking that this sounds delicious and you’d tried it this coming weekend or that it is absolutely ‘yak’ and reading further is a nausea inducing waste of time. If you belong to the former camp please go on reading; if you belong to the latter…
This was our favourite dish when we stayed with my grandmother. My sister and I will eat until our bellies were about to explode and my grandmother will look at us approvingly. You see, for her feeding people was one of the best things you could do for them….

Spenish paella is a dish to impress. It is tasty, it is fast and easy to cook and it is cheap. After all, it is a traditional dish for poor folk originating in Valencia, Spain. Over the years, paella has become for Spain, what risotto is for Italy: a way…
When it comes to money, the most important thing is to be prepared! This is The Money Principle way which I’ve been telling you about for four years now. It is important to be prepared by: Putting some cash in the bank. Keeping some cash at home. Getting together and…
This is absolutely impossible! – I hear you thinking. Well, it isn’t impossible. I spent all of last week with someone who has no money at all and is blissfully secure about her future: my sister. I hadn’t spent time alone with my sister for three decades at least: there…
Have you ever asked yourself how to invest money? Has a painting from an up-and-coming artist caught your eye in a local gallery? Or have you considered fixing up vintage cars and reselling them at a mark-up? These are all forms of alternative investments. If you want to diversify your…
Several weeks back my friend Lazy Man from Lazy Man and Money asked me whether I’d like to guest post on his blog. “What? You must be joking.” – I thought. I had wanted to have a post on Lazy Man and Money for about a year now; just didn’t…
