Editor’s Note Hi everyone I hope you all have been having a good week and enjoy the holidays (that's if you are on holiday!) but as you all know Signature S.O had the most anAcipated event for the Uganda trip which turned out to be extremely successful with great teamwork, great live acts, the jazz performances were amazing. If you missed the Signature S.O Dessert Night, not to worry as loads of pictures were being taken so you can sAll catch the event in pictures. But I must say you missed some delicious desserts which if you weren't there then you wouldn't be able to say how good it was. It's been a hot summer and to refresh yourself invest in some fruits of the season, apricots, apples and all the tropical fruits for a fruit salad maybe? Or a delicious pie? Or even a nice fruit punch with ice? Well, it's your pick so go to your local supermarket and buy your fruits for this season. The fruits will also complement a good seafood selecAon, and for sure in this hot weather you don't want food that is too heavy and making you feel bloated for the rest of the day! You can sAll have a BBQ to finish off the summer, invite a few friends and cook those Sweet Safari Wings!

The cheesecake and apple crumble with custard was delicious, I hope no one missed out on that and we can't forget the Sweet Safari wings and this Ame there was Sweet Sauce Sauce with a great kick to it (Sheila can't tell you what it is now, that would be telling!). While everyone was indulging in their desserts in such a beauAful venue, the soulful Jazz bands and all the live acts that performed were excellent! When you get the chance check them all out, you may want them at your event someday. There were also some great prize giveaways and one thing that has to be said is the chocolate sculpture which everyone could have enjoyed, unfortunately only one lucky prize winner could dig in.
