The entries on this blog are normally written in Swedish, but for once we are doing an exception, since all of you Swedes also speak English and we think this post could be quite interesting even for our South African friends. We will link to this blog entry from our social media platforms where we communicate with both Swedish and South African friends.

Some time ago we came across the company Day To Day, which has a similar business idea as Linas Matkasse in Sweden. We were initially a bit hesitant if the concept would be interesting for us here in Cape Town, but still decided to try it out. Since we have been having a bit too much of yummy food and wines lately we were extra curious of their product named Carb Conscious (kolhydratsmedveten plan, alltså ett slankt alternativ), and placed an order of one box for two people. The box consist of four meals to be consumed during one week, so there is still three days left of the week when you can eat out or except invites to friends, for example. And for those who work during the week it is definitely a great relief not to have to worry about what to cook for supper or to have to shop on the way home.
The box got delivered to our home on the Monday, and we immediately cooked our first meal that same night. And what a lovely surprise!! All meals only take around 30-40 minutes to cook, since so much is already prepared and everything is packed in the right quantities so you hardly have to do any measuring of ingredients, just empty the bags. We were really pleasantly surprised by the freshness, lovely aromas, variety and creative, easy-to-follow recipes! And we are not easily impressed. Those of you who have dined with us at restaurants can testify to that.
It really took a load off our shoulders not having to make plans for our meals at home, and we also got a lot of new ideas and inspiration. Much to our surprise we have now realized that this is exactly what we need here, so we can spend more time doing the things we enjoy instead of planning, shopping and cooking from scratch. An added bonus is that the ingredients are of high quality, free range and locally sourced.

The meals are plentiful so you will not leave the table unsatisfied.
The price per meal per person ranges from R55 to R68 for the four people boxes, and delivery is included in the price. The four people box can also be a clever alternative for a couple who wants to bring hassel free, lovely tasting lunch boxes to work. And the dishes are even tasty and high quality enough to serve when having friends over for dinner.

An interesting piece of information, at least for us Swedes, is that the company is actually owned by a Norwegian couple here in Cape Town.
The couple also owns beautiful

Ni som vistas här i Sydafrika under en längre tid har troligtvis bekymmer med att bevaka den post som kommer i brevlådan till er hemma i Sverige. Eftersändning hit till Kapstaden fungerar oftast dåligt, och om posten försenas kan det i värsta fall leda till betalningsanmärkningar eller andra olyckliga konsekvenser. Då är det bättre att den som hjälper till att kontrollera posten därhemma skannar in fakturor och andra viktiga brev och mailar dessa till er i Sydafrika. Men har ni tänkt på att det faktiskt går att lösa ännu enklare än så? Den som inte kan eller vill skanna de viktiga dokumenten kan ju helt enkelt bara fotografera dem med mobilkameran och sedan skicka bilderna direkt till mottagarna i Sydafrika helt kostnadsfritt t ex via vanlig e-post, Messenger eller WhatsApp.

AFIS (Advanced Fire Information System) är en sydafrikansk applikation som ger pinfärsk status om pågående bränder i naturen i det geografiska område man väljer att titta på. AFIS tillhandahåller även färska rapporter om brandfara och historiska data om tidigare bränder, bland annat.
Senast två veckor innan frysningen ska frysningsdatum meddelas Virgin. Detta gör man bäst via ett personligt besök på gymmet, så ring inte till deras oftast ganska förvirrade kundservice. På The Sanctuary ska ni fråga efter Stuart om det skulle råda minsta tveksamhet om villkoren, och hänvisa till hans samtal nyligen med mig, Samira. Max frysningstid är 6 månader, och det är HELT KOSTNADSFRITT att göra denna frysning.
