Рецепт Recipe For Dried Fruit Tea Cake
Chica Andaluza made a welcome home cake for Big Man. I knew as soon as I saw her recipe that I would have to make the cake! After my journey back from Johannesburg I wish I could have had a slice of my dried fruit tea cake. It would have been the perfect treat to myself.

I always have the attitude is that it costs me nothing to be kind. At the beginning of the month I caught the Gautrain from Sandton to the airport. This is the easiest way to get to OR Tambo, and ensure you arrive on time. I was also doing a dry run for my sister. She had never caught the train and my mission was to give her step-by-step instructions for her journey. As I arrived at the lifts a very flustered lady came up behind me. She was battling with her small suitcase and overflowing handbag. She too had never caught the train and was not sure where to go. I offered to assist her as best I could and so we got onto the train together. I tend to move very quickly so had to slow my pace down to ensure she did not get left behind.

I then guided her all the way to the check-in for her flight and accompanied her through security. When she suggested we get something to drink while she waited for her flight I accepted. I thought the offer was a thank you for my kindness. But she sat down at the first place she could find and told me she would drink the coke she had brought with her and I could go and buy myself a drink. Given the exorbitant prices I decided against this. It was at this point I told her that I was heading up to the business class lounge. She came with me, and as she sat down asked me to please fetch her some water which I did. She did not have long to wait for her flight, and I had 15 minutes alone to get something to eat.
