189/365 – Lost Interest

I haven’t lost interest… even though I didn’t take this photo today (no time)… it’s one of my favourites from the wedding on Saturday.  I just thought that the title was apt for this photo

168/365 – Fathers Day lunch at Mo-Zam-Bik

Elaine (my sister) organised a lunch for all the dads in the family at Mo-Zam-Bik today.  Mo-Zam-Bik is a new Mozambican restaurant that’s opened up in Randpark Ridge in the Trinity Centre, and it was PACKED!!

I really like the look of the place, and think it’ll do very well in the area.  There’s a restaurant area with loads of seating inside and on a balcony area, and there’s a cosy bar area with leather couches… and LOADS of TV’s to keep up to date with the latest sport… which today was World Cup soccer of course!  Oooh and there’s a kids area… which was a definite win… the only downfall was that the kids menu only had 4 items on it… but hey the food was good.

The hits from the menu from our table were definitely the Laurentina beer (imported from Mozambique), the starter platter that we made up from the starter menu (the chourico sausage, chicken livers, coconut flavoured rice and rissoles filled with prawns and chicken were just sublime) and prawns (I had them with a creamy beer sauce).  The only complaints around the table was that the peri-peri chicken was too mild, and the chicken prego was tasteless.  Ooh and the desserts… I had creme caramel which was just amazing, and a few people had the rissoles filled with bar-one chocolate served with ice-cream and chocolate sauce… YUMMO!!

As for the service, it was fabulous!  Enock (our waiter) even went to call the kids for us when their ice cream arrived!  The tables were covered in this brown paper, which Enock used to write his name:)  loved that touch!

So all in all it was a fantastic lunch, and we’ll definitely be going back there!

32/365 – homegrown rosa tomatoes

A few months ago, I noticed these weed looking plants growing amongst the roses in my garden, and I asked Andrew (my gardener) to take them out when he came to work one Saturday.  He took one look at them and told me they weren’t weeds they were baby tomato plants!!  Very weird that they grew there, but we’d had a blocked sewage pipe a few months previously and the sewage pipe runs under my rose bushes – that’s the only way the seeds could have got there.

We moved them to my herb garden, and they have flourished.  The fruit has just started ripening, and rosa tomatoes are Connor’s favourite treat so he runs to the patch often to see how many he can pick.  This evening there were quite a few.

How nice and they do look yummy!!!

cat@juggling act (187 comments.) - February 3, 2010 - 9:35 am

Every so often we have a few of these popping up in the garden. Someone told me it is seeds distributed by birds form someones garden near. Does that possibly make sense?

Jackie K - February 3, 2010 - 8:40 am

I like the contrast of the red and blue in that photo.

Janet B (48 comments.) - February 3, 2010 - 8:15 am

YUMMY! Btw, tomatoes are good for prostrates, so encourage the enjoyment of them! :)

Avril (Mom) (385 comments.) - February 3, 2010 - 7:01 am

Anelle (47 comments.) - February 3, 2010 - 4:02 am

Yummy! Can’t wait to get a herb and veggie garden started in the spring! I so miss tomatoes straight off the vine!

sass (29 comments.) - February 3, 2010 - 12:05 am

how funny, seeing that i just had a midnite snack of turkey and tomato wedges with salt and pepper! gotta tell you, there’s nothing better than vine-ripe tomatoes! :)

Game for lunch

Madi’s husband Pierre has been bragging for months about the game meat that he gets from a friend of his… and bragging even more about an Impala Sirloin recipe that he had made for other friends of theirs.

Lance and I were both intrugued when Pierre mentioned that he was cooking a Kudu sirloin for us for lunch yesterday when we got to their house, and were suitably impressed with the meal in the end!! It was awesome!! I don’t often have the opportunity to eat game meat, and this recipe with the meat wrapped in bacon (after marinading in olive oil, soya sauce, and garlic overnight) is so VERY yummy!  The recipe is from a book called Karoo Venison.

So, of course I had to take photos of the process… and especially the bit with Lance and Pierre fighting with the string… of course I’m not sure why 2 people were needed for that, considering Jamie Oliver can do it on his own;)
