Hi All
I trust the weekend was as good for you as it was for the rest of South Africa. My condolences go out to the English........Yeah, right. Well Done Lads, you performance was great.
Saturday morning bright and early so the lads down at Nico's supermarket setting up for the day. We sold boerewors( SA Hot Dogs ) rolls to the patrons of the shop to raise money for Bone Marrow Awareness. All started out well until yours truly decided we needed a little liquid refreshment to aid us with our Babalaases( Afrikaans for Hangovers ).
Nothing like a good strong apple cider to clear your head. Mauritz Oliphant is probably on his way right now to the local Nissan dealership to buy himself a X-trail because he could not believe the size of the built in cooler box in the boot.(trunk)
Anyway we raised R 30.00 short of R 2000.00 in a couple of hours and must also give thanks to 34 DD and her friend for selling Bandannas also for the cause.
The great thing about South Africa is our weather, it is probably the best in the World, according to us South Africans because no matter what the real weather is at that particular time when can always find an excuse to make a braai and have some cold ones even if it is in the middle of winter.
So I hope that the week is not to long for you all this week, for those families who are going on a bit of a holiday when the schools break up this Friday, Please Drive Safely and Enjoy the Break.
I have a Moroccan Chicken Recipe that I would like you to try out, I borrowed this recipe from Asha, who writes a column for the Sunday Paper. Thank You.
- Combine chicken with all the spices and oil
- Place on shallow baking tray in oven at 200C
- Roast for a few minutes until cooked
- Remove meat, reserve the juice
- Soak the dried peaches in the juice
- Pile the couscous in a deep platter
- Place chicken and peaches around the couscous
- Pour the remaining juices over the couscous
- Serve with Harissa dressing or sweet chille sauce
HARISSA DRESSING
100g fresh red chillies
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp cumnin powder
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp olove oil
salt and pepper to taste
- Puree the chillies and garlic
- Add the spices and blend with the lemon juice
- Place in a bowl and top with olive oil
- Chill and use as required
This is a nice quick recipe and is full of flavour, as a variation you can replace the lemon juice with fresh orange juice.
I hope you have a pleasant evening, off to play squash with Mr. Pigg.
HAVE A GOOD ONE>
