Seasoned and wrapped it with rosemary and thyme.

Braaied it for about 15 minutes a side til just over medium. Ate with garlic bread, mielies and sweet potatoes.

Lamb rib and wors. Tried something new with the rib, wrapped it in foil. Started the fire and put it right on with the flames just licking at it. Unwrapped it when the coals was ready for the wors and give it a few turns. Came out nice a cripsy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.

I have never done that with lamb ribs. Sheep tails work well with the foil.

To get lamb ribs just right always takes longer. I wanted to get everything done at the same time and did not want to start a separate fire.

Get them taken out. They're vokken useless as an adult and tend to attract infections rather than protect you from them.

It's a bigger deal when you're an adult I think. Much easier to get rid of them when you're still young.

Ja I believe it is. I am 36 and still have my tonsils. My little one had tonsilitus 5 times this year, finally in July the doctor gave the green light to remove them. Life has been bliss ever since

I can vouch for this. I had mine taken out when I was 33. The operation was simple enough, but the three weeks afterwards were the most painful of my life. No amount of painkillers could alleviate the excruciating pain of swallowing anything. But my life changed afterwards, no more tonsillitis and no more throat infections since.

Skinless chicken breasts Tandoori style today. Garlic, ginger and masala in a yoghurt marinade. I have been told to lower cholestrol levels so this is the result.

Last night I did burgers on the braai. I put a big piece of chuck through the mincer and made beef burgers. I also mixed some blesbok offcuts I had with pork shoulder which came out rather nicely as burgers.

Bough a koedoe from a friend last year. Had great results by mixing in pork mince with the koedoe mince. Game meat needs some fat for flavour.

Ja the blesbok by itself is hella dry. I did biltong out of the hindquarters and that came out chewy but tasty. The neck and shoulder made OK potjies.

It was so good.
Wife handled it.
Perfectly seasoned. Nothing to add. The missus is good like that. Can smell the dish and know what to add. I need to taste it.
Perfectly blackened on the outside and medium rare inside. It was a great steak.
