Roof top braais

We miss home. There I said it... we're home sick. Luckily there are small things that we can do to help us get a little taste of home here in the big city and one of those things is rooftop braais!

Whenever you drive around, you see people braaing meat (usually at around breakfast time, they cook the meat for their food stall for the day) so we knew we would be able to buy a braai - it was just a matter of hunting one down. We went to our local market and popped our heads into a couple of stalls and voila, we found one! It's not the best braai in the world but you can make a fire in it and chuck some meat on the grid... perfect!

We're trying to make it a bit of a Sunday evening tradition. We get home from work at about 6.30 and we're often tempted to flop onto the couch after a long weekend of teaching, however, going up to the roof and burning some meat does wonders for the soul! It also always comes with some good banter with Craig.

Sadly, our braai companion is now on school holidays and is headed home to South Africa - the land of real meat - for a few weeks (lucky bum!). So our weekly braais will be a kind of romantic boere date for two for the next few weeks.

Here are some pics from some of our recent braais:

Deeeelicious food

Some post-braai Saki... not to be repeated soon!
