I'm gonna braai something different 2morrow!

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

About that 'stupid cow' ribs -  Mike you should cut them in thin strips, marinade them in the same sort of curry marinade you would use for sosaties, or some other marinade (sweet & sour)  & then braai them.  I do that with the brisket as well as with the rib itself and it comes out very good. 

    You sure the rib you had didn't come from a 'mad cow'?

[Michael Alexander]

It's funny that you mention the curry thing, Arthur ( co-manager at spar) and I discuss what we cooked on the weekend, and he did a lamb rib in a curry marinade or a spit for the weekend... marinaded for 3 nights before hand, reckons it was awesome.......

mad cow, I don;t care, she was still too tough, when I do Sandy B's Taters, I'll try your strips also.....

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Yep -  hang the whole rib from a tripod over a low coal base and braai very slowly  -  have to hang it at about 45 degrees, to get the heat spread even.

For that you need to braai skilpaadjies for tasters and wash that down with lotsa Windhoek's.

[Michael Alexander]

My coals are still to hot to braai.... 5 minutes.....

I went of the Skilpaadtjies about 3 weeks ago, I had a batch that tasted too musch like sheep piss! Serious, I'm now doing the pofadder thing, and that is why I think I had a brief gout attack on Sunday/Monday... but you gotta admit nothing beats a good pofadder!

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Thats why you should braai liver skilpaadjies and not kidney skilpaadjies!

A good pofadder is always a bonus.  I add grated apple, grated onions, sometimes even some fresh herbs and fresh garlic to the mix when I make them.  Nammies!

[Michael Alexander]

I never heard of the apple, Does the Aunty from the binneland have a recipe?

[Rhona]

Almost time for another experiment..........Don't for get the details and throw in a couple of pics just to make us jelous

[Michael Alexander]

Nooooo! It's too late in the evening and way too many beers...... but...wait ... give me   3 minutes

[Rhona]

I'm waiting.................

[Michael Alexander]

Here we go, remember the camera is as blurred as I am....   

[Rhona]

Oh my God.................that looks soooooooo delicious; can I have some? Can I? Can I? Can I?    

I have to ask you - what's with the hole in the fence? Can I presume it's a short cut to your brother?

[georg ruf jr.]

There's a hole in the fence. Did you run out of wood for the braai....  :emot19:

[Michael Alexander]

Yep! Yep! That hole in the fence goes directly to my Brother Paul's mystical garden.....  we are aften caught at the "Hole in the Fence " sharing a few beers, the main reason it was created, was to allow free movement for the cousins to play at each others homes.... The planks were not thrown on the fire, but stored, as this would be damaging company property! (Ahem!)

[Rhona]

And we all know the Alexander boys arent into distruction...................

[georg ruf jr.]

  NEVER!!!
