Eat the meat.

Today we had our annual bbq but this time we did something different. With most of us working now we could afford some good meat. So everyone bought their favourite cut of beef or pork, seasoned it themselves and cooked it at my place. We also limited the side dishes so it was mainly meat on show.

This cow died for a good cause. I am not much of a beef eater but this was perfect, the knife cut through the beef like it was cutting through butter. We cooked it to an excellent medium(with the ends well done for me) and it was as they say "goood" This almost 1kg hunk of beef was shared by 3 of us. i give it 5 stars.

Bake us the bread!

I have always wanted to bake my own bread, for years i quietly had this little dream . I have always found it intimidating , lots of time to let the bread rise and stuff. The other day i went for a bbq and had the most amazing bread baked by Tlomys cousin and she inspired me to try. 1 big difference though i pinched my Sisters breadmaking machine for my first loaf. Things were going well until something tripped the power in my house and the machine shut off, forcing me to move the loaf to our oven. It turned out pretty well in the end, crusty (very crusty) and full flavoured all in all a good tasting rye loaf. NEXT i will try without the machine and see how that goes!

Chicken+Rice

TLOMY cooked an awesome chicken rice the other day and i forgot to blog it. While i am not a fan of the non roasted chicken, i went back for seconds. It was as good as it gets as far as i am concerned.
