I think tonight was the first night in the last 3 years of me doing photos every day that Lance voluntarily agreed to have his photo taken with the boys.  It’s a momentous occasion guys… seriously huge!

It was Lance’s 40th birthday yesterday, and we had such a full day that I didn’t get a chance to edit and load the photos!

We took it really easy yesterday, just as he wanted it… he’s not interested in having a party so we’re actually going away for a night this coming weekend to celebrate. We spent most of the day at my parent’s house, where we had a braai (barbeque) and my mom made her famous chocolate cake with the now traditional smarties on it… and 4 candles, one for each decade

Having a laugh are Brian, my dad, Elaine and Lance

Connor got very tired towards the end of the afternoon, and the only thing that he wanted was a granny hug and a story

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
