#Covid-19

For obvious reasons, lots of people have been asking me for outdoor dining recommendations – specifically restaurants with gardens. And considering this city has one of the best climates on earth, restaurant gardens are surprisingly hard to find in central Joburg. While there are plenty of restaurants with outdoor tables – on sidewalks, patios, or covered areas overlooking shopping mall parking lots – legit gardens with actual grass and trees are rare.

Since the pandemic started a year ago, I’ve developed many thoughts and opinions about things that I hardly ever thought or had opinions about before. Sourdough bread is one of these things.

I’ve been trying to publish this post for the past two days.

I painstakingly crank out a paragraph, stare at it, read it back a few times, doze off in my chair, scroll Facebook for 20 minutes, read the paragraph again, delete it in disgust. I’ve done this over and over.
