Fireside Dinner Menu # 9

This week we made a chowder and a soup in our trusty potjie. The Engineer also baked roosterkoek.

The happiest accident was the ham and cheese quesadillas, try them you will love them. We made them the same way as the bolognese ones that you can also try.

This week I have a menu that saw us by the braai 6 out of the 7 evenings. Links to various recipes are available and quite a few by Jan Braai. I see that his website was revamped this week so go and take a look!

The highlight for me in this menu is the Moroccan chicken pie. A lifetime ago the Engineer and I (when young and free and able to stay awake later than 8pm) had a date at a cooking school. This specific evening was Moroccan themed, and I think that is probably what kindled my love for Moroccan food as well. On the menu that night was a Moroccan chicken pie, very different from the traditional South African version. It is a blend of beautiful flavours. Try it, you will not be sorry. I was even so impressed with this one that I remembered to take some photographs.

The 7 colours of the rainbow May 9, 2024
By the grace of God we got to the 7th birthday. Lilliputian Lisa is turning into some kind of project manager, organising everything and everyone. Planning, calculating and overthinking in general. Lilliputian Hannes is a bit of a wild card in most senses. He is everyone’s friend, he is the main attraction to any event […]
A new school year January 26, 2024
And so school starts. It has been a little more than a week since the first day of Grade 1 for the Lilliputians. The December school holiday was long, and I was not sorry when the 17th of January rolled around. Do not get me wrong, our holiday was amazing. You will remember that the […]
Tell me it’s their first flight without telling me it’s their first flight August 11, 2023
The Lilliputians had their first flight in July. Yes, it is now much later, but a first experience should be documented. I took them to go and visit my folks in the Eastern Cape. The Engineer stayed behind to watch the labs, the house and the budget. I had the first flight with my Lilliputians. […]
Lilliputian lessons for the 6th year May 9, 2023
Goodness and grace! How did we get here? Probably both goodness and grace, right? Today the Lilliputians are 6 years old. I have been a mother for 6 years already. I have to admit that this first year in a new school and different classes… it has been tough on this Mamma. So let me […]
How the tooth mouse came back and bit me in the ass March 24, 2023
The first tooth was pulled in our house this week. It was actually not pulled because both the Engineer and I refused to do it, so the owner of the tooth managed to do it herself. Super proud about this rite of passage, she allowed for a photo to be taken and ran off to […]
