A number of my family members and close friends are Doctors, this is no false information nor threats coming in. Shit is real out there. My sister comes home daily and reports the situation as it is unfolding in her hospital and its rather scary.

Dinner is Served
Chicken Curry Chip Cheese and Chilli
Rotis Bigger than a small country.
In the middle of all this my bank account got cleaned out due to a series of fast online fraudulent transactions. Dozens of transactions in a 10 minute period.
Strangely enough not a single authentication or approval request came to my phone/ banking app.
But the messages showing the debits were all streaming in. So annoyed! And so broke now while they take their sweet time investigating

Now you’re talking! There are always things to look forward to in winter, and for me, soup making is up at the top of the list.
For the hell of it, here’s one of the quickest:
Boil up a large chicken carcass in a couple of liters of water (or some wings/thighs, anything bony), season for stock. Remove chicken, shred off the meat & return to the pot together with a tin of chopped tomatoes and a (small) jar of crunchy peanut butter. Add some hot sauce for a bit of a kick if you fancy. Simmer for an hour, check seasoning, serve.
Stupidly simple, even for soup.
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post pics due to a confidentiality clause. But there is no other way to describe the 3000 to 5000 (sometimes even more) swabs that gets lined up during a 12 hour shift. It's a sight to behold.
Cumulative total for Gauteng on 24 June: 26,156
Cumulative total for Gauteng on 16 June: 13,023
Numbers are doubling every 8 days now.
But it could be that there was a delay due to the taxi strike on Monday and now catching up. So will have to see what things look like over the weekend.
Why the "dislike" @adriaanh? Maybe it was a slip-o-the-finger.
@Dela Rey Steyn Help please! I'm pretty useless in the kitchen (I need a recipe to make toast) and your broth looks soooo good! What liquid do you use? Just water?
Yep, you can use it in lots of West African and Thai recipes for a quick workaround. This one really sticks to your ribs
Sure @Hooked,
I made a big batch, to freeze for later as well, you can scale down to your needs. Broth is VERY watery, we drink it as a hot drink.
500g -1kg of meaty bones with lots of marrow or marrow bones
4x Large carrots, chopped
2x cups of chopped celery
2x large onions, chopped
half punnet of brown mushrooms
3x cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
2 sprigs of rosemary
3 sprigs of thyme
freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
The herbs can be any combination of herbs that you like or dried herbs, depends on your preference and availability at your local store.
you can also add some chilies if you want some heat.
drizzle generously with olive or canola oil, and roast for about 30mins in the oven.
Transfer to a large pot or slow cooker, ad about 500ml of chicken stock, half cup of apple cider vinegar and 3l of water (water can be less if you want it more "hearty")
On the stove top: Bring to a boil and keep it there for about 15 minutes, lower the heat and let it simmer for 2-3hours.
Slow Cooker: Low and slow for as long as you can.
The Apple cider vinegar helps to extract more nutrients from the bones and marrow. This takes a while to cook, but the longer it goes the better.
You can strain it for a straight forward drink or keep the bits (sans bones) like SWAMBO and myself.
Ohhhh thank you so much for taking the trouble to type out the recipe @Dela Rey Steyn! You're a star!!! This is exactly what I need - I also like to drink broth from a mug while I go about my day. I'll just pop everything into my slow cooker (the best thing that I've ever bought in my life) and leave it to do its thing.
remember to roast it before you do, it is much more flavoursome and nutritious that way.
No stress bud, didn't take any offense, a lot of people do not like soups and broths, so I did not think anything of it
Expect a tax hike. Give away millions to the lazy and then recover it from the hard working people

It'll be worse than they have factored in, they assume people are used to being abused, but so many people who can will be packing their bags and pissing off as soon as they can.
Just wonder who is going to be employed “enough” for them to actually tax.
Day ...?
Back from work , had to do a quick job and now home again till who knows ? Building still in full swing , EVERYTHING is dusty , still need about 2 more loads to fill up the floor and then the compacting and leveling , it's nice to see how a dream becomes a reality .

at my Original Job we lost our jobs due to financial issues announced jan this year only getting my money end of this month.
Lucky I chose volunteer (could of gone to sister company without same benefits) and they ended up paying us more than what we worked out.
Just 6 months of waiting and 6 months of loss of income (comms) then this stupid Virus comes along Ive been tracking since Jan and the country and world gone mad.
I'm just sitting at home since the kids got sent home watching Nick Jr all day everyday for sanity reasons.
Lucky I still have cotton and nicotine to make juice for myself but wish i bought another 500ml of nicotine before but learning how to cook better.. perfected making pancakes french style (figured it out too) learning to make jam at the moment hoping to sell on the side for extra bucks cause why not and i love jam.
vape wise my coils are burning like mad latley and when i cleaned it looked like i kill a layer of it ...
but i have been fortunate being at home i know people in worse situations and i feel for them but once this is done and over with i swear im having a massive family gathering

I wish my company allows me to work from india. I will be happy to still pay taxes here. But at least I can save on rent, household expenses etc.
For example instead of r900 for internet a month I will be paying only r100 a month for the double the internet speed in mumbai.
