This week's roundup

{PICS} Famous faces were spotted taking over  the red carpet for the 2015 ESPN Awards on Wednesday night……An ESPY Award is an accolade presented by the American cable television network, ESPN to recognize individual and team athletic achievement and other sports-related performance during the calendar year.  Let’s check the fashion hits and misses (if any)…

First….Caitlyn Jenner was awarded the Courage Award and all her children both Jenners and Kardashians were there to give her support. She gave a long, moving speech shem…

'Thank you so much it I so wonderful to be here tonight. The last few months have been a whirlwind of so many different experiences and emotions. To tell you the truth, it seems every time I turn around in life, I'm putting myself in these high-pressured situations. Competing in the Games, raising a family. But I've never felt more pressured than I ever have in my life, than the last couple of months. Picking out this outfit — OK, girls, I get it! You've got to get the shoes, the hair the makeup, the whole process. It was exhausting. And next, the fashion police — please be kind on me, I'm new at this. Anyway, I just want to say a quick shout out to our soccer team. Ladies, you clean up very well.

'But the real truth is, before a few months ago I had never met anybody else who was trans, who was like me. I had never met a trans person, never. Now, as you saw, I dealt with my situation on my own in private and that turned this journey into an already incredible education.’’

#TOLAHCHEFS4: Crusted Pork Tenderloin with a Butternut Squash Medley

I am all for making really quick and easy but super tasty meals. This week I bring you something really quick and tasty dish and oh ladies (and gents)…since summer bodies are made in winter…we might as well hop onto that bandwagon….

P.S. After being on TOLAH, I can never hear the word butternut without my mind racing to think of more than just the veggies *side eyes LufunoJJ*

Ingredients 

boneless pork loin                                  2 cups cubed butternut squash
1 lemon, zested and juiced                    ½ tsp ground cinnamon 
3 tablespoons olive oil                            1 Tbsp soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced                            ½ cup applesauce
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves            handful of baby spinach leaves
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard                                ½ cup dry white wine
 Coarse sea salt                                                      1 large onion

freshly ground black pepper                   ½ cup brown sugar

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 Degrees Celsius. Combine lemon juice, part olive oil (leave some to brown the pork), minced garlic and thyme leaves and marinate pork overnight. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork loin on all sides in the hot oil, about 10 minutes total. Remove the pork loin from the pan and bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour. Pour in the white wine into the skillet, and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the caramelized bits in the pan. Scatter the butternut squash and onion in the skillet and stir together the applesauce, mustard, soy sauce, sugar, and cinnamon and add to the butternut mixture. Once pork loin is well cooked right through, allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.

*Handy Hint*                                                                                                                                                 
Pork tenderloins are also often sold packaged in a marinade. Personally, I avoid these, as I would prefer to season the meat myself (and control the amount of salt and oil used). It's very quick and easy to roll pork tenderloin in some salt and spices, or to create a paste of garlic and ginger to rub all over it. Play around with herbs and spices and create your own flavours, cooking should be experimental and fun!

Regards,

The cost of raising a Bambino in the new age

This past year Tolah has been blessed with little bambinos, my article was inspired by Robert Marawa’s child maintanance case. I did not want to comment on the post on Monday but I thought as family we need to discuss the issue. 

As a single mother to a 12 months old son, I only want the best for my son. Yes as QT said kids have managed with little financial support but I only wish the best for my son. 

During the day he is at a day care (R1900 pm), I have a helper at home another (R2000). He attends stimulation classes once a week costing R990 per term. 

He uses 2 packs of Nappies a month R500. 

Two formulas R500. 

I am an average working mother and those are the basics he needs to survive excluding food and clothes. So my friends how much do you roughly believe a maintenance should cost judging from my expenditure?
