Cultural evening

So the cultural evening (for which I was making vetkoek) was a couple of weeks ago now, and it was a big success!

The picture of the right is of our beautiful MC, Romona (left), and two of our pastors, Lester (centre) and Tendai (right). More pictures available here.

And the food came together nicely, I think. Thanks to my amazingly patient and super helpful digsmates! Sandra ended up making the vetkoek. We all had some part to play in the tomatoe relish stuff. Minoshni made ALL of the bean curry (!!) and the lassie. And Amanda and Mutsa and Tsungayi all helped out chopping the slightly dodgy mielies. And my brother gave up an evening of what should have been work to braai the mielies and wors!
Thanks you guys :)

Vetkoek

I am busy trying to make vetkoek for the Cultural Evening at church on Sunday. Well, tonight is the test run. good thing I did a test run because nothing is working. The stupid vetkoek burns on the outside and is still soggy on the inside. Yuck. And my tea tastes funny. And I feel sick from eating so much test half-cooked vetkoek. Yuck. Bleh. And my tea tastes really funny. Why does is taste funny? Maybe its because I used full cream milk instead of low fat. Either way, the fact remains that it tastes funny. And now I need to start (yes, start) making tomatoe relish stuff for said cultural evening. At least I know how to make tomatoe relishy stuff. But the kitchen is a huge mess now. Should I just push everything into the corner and make tomatoe stuff or should I wash first? Well, in order to get to the sink I would have to wade through the supper dishes which would be a mission, so perhaps I will just push to the side for now.
