Sorry, I just have to say it, thereās not one endearing thing about the winter months! Well, maybe one -boots!
Because I was born in June people here say I should like the cold because Iām a winter baby! Remember friends, I was born in England and only came her when I was 26 years old, so Iām actually a summer baby. Yes, I know Englandās summer is like our winter, but just saying.
Iām trying to convince myself that winter only lasts three months tops and spring isnāt that far away but last week Monday and Tuesday I nearly froze. You see the difference between an SA winter and an English winter is over there you can buy really thick clothing and thereās such a thing as central heating. For those of you who donāt know what that is, let me explain. You have radiators on the house walls and gas fires. When the cold months arrive, nine out of 12, you set your radiators to come on during the night, so when you get out of bed on a cold morning, the house is already warm. Yes, in the bathroom too! Then if youāre at work all day you do the same and set your heating to come on during the afternoon. Itās fantastic. Oh, well, no use complaining, and mostly the sun shines.
Itās all in a sandwich.
Sandwich Baron is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month and founder, Sally JāArlette-Joy, began making sandwiches in her own kitchen all those years ago. āMy intention was to open a small sandwich shop and due to the success there are now 51 stores nationwide.
āOur passion is good, fresh, healthy food made with layers of love. Whether it be a plain sandwich or you want to add combinations and have the ultimate feast we can do it for you,ā said Sally.
I asked Sally what the customersā favourite sandwich filling is and she said, āChicken mayonnaise with avocado or crispy bacon, or both!ā And your secret to success? āThe quality of our food. All our food is freshly made on order. We also make Banting options as well as training boxes (ideal for office lunches and conferences), as well as salads, platters and baked potatoes with a variety of fillings.ā
One thing I can say is you canāt go wrong with a sandwich, especially from Sandwich Baron and you can order by phone, in store or online. The Alberton storeās number is 011 970 7450 and youāll receive free delivery within a certain radius.
Thatās it for this week. Shop till you drop!
