Johannes Cornelis Goosen’s renaming of his farm, Wagenbooms Rivier to Prince Alfred Hamlet in 1861, after Queen Victoria’s son, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was surely an honourable idea. He did not exactly think that one day a Scotsman will be its most popular ambassador… a classic case of ‘boereverneukery’?!
Peter Mitchell is a thinking man, songwriter, and comedian…a well respected artist among his alternative and commercial colleagues in the South African music industry. The lyrical content of his songs is intelligent, emotional and purposefully written… a read between the lines. If you listen to his songs and his vocal deliverance, you will find yourself gazing in a melodically hypnotic state of meditation and beauty simultaneously. The best parts of his live shows, is when he is changing lanes, and entertains masterfully between his tongue in the cheek stories and his beautiful songs. Like a true craftsman he knows when and how to do it.
Lens & Ladle checked in for a rehearsal… & lunch cooked by Peter Mitchell a.k.a. ‘Pietman die Skot’ and his partner, Arnè.

The flavonoids in onion tend to be more concentrated in the outer layers of the flesh. To maximize your health benefits, peel off as little of the fleshy, edible portion as possible when removing the onion’s outermost paper layer. Even a small amount of “overpeeling” can result in unwanted loss of flavonoids. For example, a red onion can lose about 20% of its quercetin and almost 75% of its anthocyanins if it is “overpeeled.”
