The sun is rising later and later and it can only mean one thing – winter is approaching. This means cold days bundled up under blankets, plenty of gaming and consumption of comfort food. I know there are tons of favorite winter meals – curries and stews and other joys. But this one makes me feel warm all the way to my heart: grilled cheese and tomato soup.
If you have a recipe passed down through the ages, your tomato soup is probably best. However, if you’re in a pinch and just need to grab some quick and easy soup for a cold day (and to freeze for emergencies), I can recommend the roasted tomato soup from Woolies. It really does taste fresh and delicious, just requiring a bit of pepper or fresh herbs to suit your preference.
As for the grilled cheese, you can certainly use your favorite artisan bread or special cheese, but the pairing of a simple cheddar or gouda with standard sliced bread actually works perfectly. This is meant to be comfort food and the exotic tastes of gruyere or camembert simply don’t belong. There is something so perfectly moreish and fulfilling about the crunch of the bread with the gooey cheese all dunked in that creamy soup to warm the heart, body and soul on a dreary winter day.

I don’t eat venison. It’s basically saying “We don’t know what we put in here, but it’s made from real wild animals.”

Okay man if you say so, I mean if it comes it comes else I’m not prepared to spend 6K on already old tech that can’t even get up to 1080p 60fps + R900 for the game + an additional R550 just to play online
Find using that same amount on a new GPU+PSU more rewarding especially when browsing my steam library which oddly enough has more games in it than what the PS4 and Xbone have combined
But you keep on keeping on, don’t mean any disrespect to you or your choice of gaming, it’s your cash, your way of spending it
I’m just saying a good i5+750ti will provide you with more enjoyment at the fraction of the price
