I've made Venison Bobotie with roasted butternut squash and corn relish. Bobotie is a traditional Cape Malay dish consisting of frying ground meat mixed with apricot jam,raisins,lemon juice,turmeric,curry powder,chopped onion and breadcrumbs(soaked in milk) and topped with a milk and egg...

We're surrounded by wine farms so every now and again we'll do a "wine trip" and stock up - unfortunately it never lasts long:rolleyes:. If I quickly need to buy a bottle I'll buy at the supermarket - they tend to have more specials than the liquor stores.

Hi Lisa ! Nice to see another Capetonian on here !

Happy New Year all ! DH brought home some sushi for a starter and we'll probably have some of last nights barbequed venison with pasta for dinner. Although it's once again a beautiful summer evening outside so we might just barbeque - AGAIN !

That was one of the highlights of our trips to Thailand and Bali. They had vacuum packed products in their frozen seafood section that we could not figure out what it was (all writing on the packaging was in Thai/Indonesian) And of course the exotic fruits were out of this world ! Only downside...

I'm also on Facebook and part of the DC Group on there but only log on there once in a while.

I loved Thailand and Bali and it was so affordable (even for us South Africans with our less than great rand dollar exchange rate)

Never been to Mazunte but if they stock things like tortilla presses I'll definitely have to pop in next time I'm in the area !

I usually drink instant coffee - we never seem to have the time to make "real" coffee - but I don't really mind - we usually buy the Douw Egbert(Dutch) or Jacobs(German) brands which I really like. Most people I know just drink instant during the week - was quiet surprised when I read this...

Nope - we get someone in - we're both absolutely useless :lol:
