If you had visited last week the following is what you would have been offered to eat:

Monday – a beef casserole that used the same crust as used in the vegetable pie recipe that has already been posted to the blog.

Tuesday – pork chops, fries and a salad. The pork chops were prepared using the recipe already posted to this site.

Wednesday – ‘pap’, ‘boerewors’ with tomato and onion sauce. The non-South African readers will not know what I have just mentioned here but the full explanation and the relevant recipes will be published to the blog soon. This is one worth waiting for. NOTE: Recipes published 7 July 2010.

Thursday – ‘Umgqusho onembhotyi’. Huh? This is actually samp and beans. This was served with a stew. I also tried my hand at making iced tea. The relevant recipes will follow shortly. This will be the first Xhosa recipe to be posted to the blog, hopefully it will not be the last. NOTE: The stew referred to here was actually a casserole and the recipe was posted on 11 July 2010. The samp and beans recipe was published on 14 July 2010.

Friday – Fridays are take-away days around here. This time it was KFC (the kid’s favourite).

Saturday – this was double-pie day. We had a fish pie served with rice and an asparagus pie. The fish pie recipe has been posted to this site already, the asparagus pie will follow soon.

Sunday – Chicken, rice and vegetables. We had a bread and butter pudding along with the meal. The chicken was marinated in a very special marinade. I have already published the recipe for a chicken marinade but the one used here was different. The recipes for the new marinade and the pudding will follow soon.
Well, there you have it. You now have had a little peek at what goes on in my kitchen and you also know which recipes will be posted to the blog in the next few weeks.
Happy eating!


I must be really hungry right now, b/c this food looks delicious to me right now and I’m a vegetarian most of the time (not always). Or maybe I just secretly long for this type of stuff (smile). Looks good…
I am afraid this blog does not really cater for vegetarians. I do have some nice vegetarian recipes though, maybe I should publish these sometime.
I enjoyed the sneak peek into your week’s meals – might do something like this myself in future!
Thanks, all the recipes not already posted will be posted in the next week or three.
I love every recipe you post. Comfort food, at it’s best.
Thanks.
