AW- sorry I didn't pop in yesterday- Bunny sent her bad sinus headache MY way so she could go out- She did I tell you-lol. I crashed on the bed yesterday afternoon with some pain pills, but feel better again today! SPRING is not good for my poor nose! And the wind doesn't help me any either-. We are having gale force winds here today and today is actually a public holiday here- It's our National Heritage Day- but somehow it's been re-nick named to *South African BRAAI day*- lol. It's today the we are all supposed to braai to celebrate our heritage- UHUM_ I DON'T THINK SO- BWHAHAHAHAHA, not if we want to fetch our chops and wors in Durban at this stage! Actually if I stand outside today you might find ME in Durban too- HAHAHAHA.
A Braai is what Americans call a BBQ- yet it's an integral part of our culture- we braai sometimes 3x a week, it's a tasty, healthy fun way of cooking and socializing.
Chops and Sosaties, YUM! all cooked over an open fire on a grid.
And the sausage on there is called WORS - (vors). A braai is just not a braai without it-lol
And another traditional way of cooking on the fire is in the *tri-legged* pot.
Stews, Curry's and just about anything gets cooked in these and this usually takes a whole days socializing around the fire while it cooks SLOWLY -
OBVIOUSLY you have to have a good SA wine to sip while waiting for all this to get done- LOL. I got these pics from a South African tour and travel site- as well I have a ton of Braai pics- but NONE of the food side-just a lot of friends parting and having fun- LOL. You can click on the link if you are interested to see some more- they even have some recipe links too ;-)

Now I am starving too LOL!! Hubby is asleep after his one or two after golf this morning, so our braai will be later this afternoon, and we have beautiful HOT weather here!!

Hi Kim,
I'm sorry you were suffering. I hope this does not re-occur for you.
You are making my mouth WATER! Why is the fire under it purple/pink? Is that just my imagination?
What is in the wonderful looking WURS? Miles and I love some sausages we call smokies, which have cheddar cheese on them. Cannot go camping without them & have only found one brand that is superior. They cost more, but worth every penny.
Did your husband get a day off for the National Holiday?
You sure seem to be getting the wind lately!
LOVELY layouts once again. Do you only sell to talented people, or what? haha!
I must run, going to town {the CITY} with my in-laws today. Hope your day is good too!
Love, Barb
Evenin' Kim darlin'!!! SO happy to hear that you are feeling MUCHO better today and that your MEN are both home for you to BUG!!! ROFL! You SO funny!!!
AWESOME layouts by your AMAZING CT's and OH, MY .... the PHOTOS!!! Hmmmm ... I'm thinking that, perhaps, my DARLING Robert is from South Africa as he LOVES to barbecue and does so at least THREE times per week if not more!!!
HAPPY HERITAGE DAY to y'all!!! Hmmm ... do I have anything I can "braai" for breakfast over here? You've awakened my salivary glands with ALL of those YUMMIES!!!
