Would like to wish all a very festive and happy St Patrick’s Day where ever you may find yourself at this moment! Remember, it does not matter what you do or how much Guinness you drink…. …but make sure to keep your hat on!
Greetings to old and new readers! I am back again after a few false starts. I blame it on the “gremlins”. A lot of interesting and not so interesting things happened since my last full time blog and at this present moment I find myself in French Alps for the Winter of 2011/2012. In Val [...]
”By allowing yourself to be brainwashed and not thinking outside the “box”, is worse than a life sentence in solitary confinement.”
I know this is a bit strange, but I am not really a spirits drinker, so to find out that you can make toffee vodka in the dishwasher was new to me! So decided to try it myself. So here is the instructions on how the process. Still think it is better to buy it [...]
Here is a recipe for a focaccia, a flat Italian bread, normally topped with herbs for your upcoming BBQ (braai). I like this as you can put whole bread on table and guest can tear pieces off or use a knife if the in-laws are visiting. I take it you have baked bread before or [...]
This marinade or “rub” can be used on pork fillet, ribs or chops. Best is to make it the night before you want to cook the meat. It is more like a paste than a marinade. Oven or BBQ or “braai” for those from South Africa. Peel, deseed and grated cucumber, whole cummin seeds, chopped fresh mint [...]
I am sure that when it comes to baking a cake, a few people will rather run to the nearest shop or bakery and buy one. I am one who would rather watch frog eggs hatch then bake a cake. I find it is just too much fuss over nothing. It is even worse when [...]
…mense neem dit in Suid Afrika om ‘n simpel en eenvoudige werkie te doen? Ek het nou vandag weer foto in Die Beeld gesien oor die “massa” arbeiders wat dit verg om ‘n straatnaam te verander. Is alles in Suid Afrika deesdae ‘n span poging? Geen wonder die munisipaliteite is almal bankrot nie. Ek kan onthou [...]
Ek bly nie meer in Suid Afrika nie. Ek het vir tyd en wyl getrek na die Noorde. Nee nie die Transvaal nie, maar na Koningin Victoria se plek. As jy nie die klas afgebrand het en “liberation before education” geskreeu het in die pad af nie, het jy nou geweet dit is Brittanje. Jy [...]
Voor ek begin met die poppe uit die “pram” gooi, wil ek net byvoorbaat onverskoning vra vir alle die ordentlike mense wat Die Burger lees. Dit is ‘n ding wat nou al geruime tyd opbou hier in my binneste gemoed. ‘n Gemoed wat nou moerig is vir onopgevoede en sommer plein weg eenvoudige Afrikaans sprekende [...]
Om te dink dat so ou rolletjie papier so baie drama kan veroorsaak. Hoeveel maal het jy nie al die “troon” besoek ,net om na al die filosofiese denke agter te kom, dat daar geen toiletpapier is om die gevolge van jou na gedagtes te reinig nie? Die paniek wat oor jou kom wanneer die [...]
