Thank you, TurquoiseSunset. It all sounds delish, the sticky toffee pudding in particular. Well, the sausages sound good, but I doubt I could get them here. I'll let you know if I try the recipe.Originally Posted by TurquoiseSunset
A braai is a barbeque. So we barbequed some lamb chops and boerewors. Boerewors is a traditional South African sausage, made with mainly beef (and some pork and/or lamb) and spices (coriander seeds, pepper, cloves, etc.). This is what it looks like on the braai: wors and chops, yummy.
Malva pudding is a baked dessert that looks like sticky toffee pudding. It's traditional Cape Dutch dessert. It's comforting and simple and easy to make...it's a store cupboard wonder.I found a good recipe with nice pictures: here. Serve with ice-cream, custard or evaporated milk.
Dinner: McChicken, fries, and two squares of dark chocolate. Yum.

Tonight, it's pasta with chicken and a basil pesto sauce. I cover a chicken breast in spice and fried in a pan, then slice it and add it to the pesto pasta.
My cousin's fiance gave me a nice recipe for basil pesto. It's one cup of fresh basil (80g), one cup of freshly grated parmesan (he says 30 months, but my 18 months was perfect) and half a cup of roasted pine nuts (or cashews, or a mixture of the two). Blitz in a food processor while adding good EV olive oil until you get the right consistency. You can freeze the leftover pesto.
