Out And About With Your Reo!

I think I must braai today or tomorrow or today AND tomorrow.
Haven't had a drink in a while( over 8 days I think).
Tips: medium heat fire for about 30 to 40 minutes.
The chutney burns as it's a sugar so you need to turn very regularly and the marinate tends to be a thick paste which I dip the chicken in before its ready to re-coat that awesome sweet zing.
Also I like having half the weber with more coal and half with less because the olive oil tends to create fire so it's convinient to move the food to a cooler fire.
You should for a wicked chicken baste:

Equal parts Light/medium Soy and Honey
Half that 'parts' Lemon Juice
Chilli Flakes as you like

Marinate the Chicken in that for a few hours. Salt and pepper.

Wicked on a gentle-heat braai (BBQ for our friends)

Edit - I normally buy chicken pieces and slap them in a large sandwich bag with the marinade, seal it, chuck it in the fridge.

Lemon, ground coriander, ground cumin, origanum, mint, meat tenderiser and salt.
Chicken was all sold out so I'm going for lamb ribs and lamb riblets tonight and a beef fillet souvlaki tomorrow.

Reo overlooking the process and making sure the lamb is behaving. 2016-04-23 19.32.01.jpg
 
The real reason I'm braaing.
Like I said stock was low but that's expected if you go shopping at 7pm :D
Had to settle for pre marinated ribs as the others looked like rubbish. 2016-04-23 19.41.05.jpg
 
No risk of cholesterol overdose, it must be vegan ;).
I have pills for cholesterol.
Just before my son was born I had a full spectrum of blood tests done.
Turns out I have hereditary high cholesterol. Even ate legumes for a month and my cholesterol was higher when I did the tests again!

Sorry to hear that - I keep quite a distance from doctors, I don't want to hear stuff like that ;).

My parents parents lived into their 90s without doctors.
My parents are doing ok. My dad is 77 this year and still doing ok.
I'm not a fan of doctors either I tend to know what disagrees with my body but I do want to live a long time now that I have children and I do want to see them become responsible, self sufficient adults. That being said I don't want to have a heart attack at 40. Heart disease unfortunately was prominent with my dad's brothers and my mom's side.
According to doctors I had a 80% chance of having a heart attack before 40.
Now Im down to 10% chance.
 
BTW, folks, I am having an awesome time googling all these SA terms. "Braaing", "staamrib", "tjoppies" - it's all baie goed.

That lamb looks lekker.

(Ek hou van Afrikaans)

You just need to learn some affectionate endearments like "jou moer" and you are well on your way :D
 
I'm thinking voetzek too :D
My afrikaans is not great. I passed it in high school (Secondary school). My first language is Greek followed by English.

Anyways while the fire gets ready. ..

... but in this case, he's making an anatomical reference :)
Reminds me of an event when I was younger. Driving from a party with friends, 2 ladies and 2 guys in the car.
Stop off at a traffic signal and a prostitute approaches and says R100 for a good time.
I ask her how much for all of us together (as an intoxicated joke).
Her response: "Jurre fok, julle is te rof ver my"
Translation : F ¥€k you guys are too rough for me.
