Eating at Gourmet Boerie

I eat out way too much these days... So I thought... 
let's add a foodie segment to the blog.So Saturday, 
I dropped in with my Lovely Assistant Andrea to my favourite spot in Kloof Street.Gourmet Boerie. 
We decided to share the slider platter, 
since she had never tried the place before. 
And just for the record, I would rather have the sliders to myself than to share.


Only realised I needed to take a photo after 3 sliders... oops....
My favourite by far is the Pure Sophistication, but the Mexican is Drawing my attention.
See the menu here.
 Check these awesome shoestring chips and the sweet potatoe fries...

 I had mine with a Devils Peak Draft.
And this rad dessert platter.... The Vanilla Ice Cream...
and I'm a Milktart (Melktert) connosuer....
I approve...

To hipster or not to hipster....

After a conversation at a party this weekend, we’ve come to the conclusion…
No one knows what a hipster is exactly.  It’s gotten a negative connection these days. A standard line used (Thank you Lauren) is “I’m not a hipster, I sell shit to hipsters”

Urban dictionary defines as such: “Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter.”


So what is a hipster?  There’s such confusion with what a hipster really is… Is it someone who has style or doesn’t have style?  

“Once certain concepts of fashion and music have reached mainstream audiences, hipsters move on to something new and improved.”

I think I’ve come to the conclusion… a hipster is anyone that does what they like and enjoy.  It’s got nothing to do with being mainstream of different.  It’s about being happy about yourself.

So by all means, go be a hipster!!!
