Good nighg everybody! I post this for all of you who must still walk this path. Its waiting for you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
After a great afternoon!!
Great times!! A whale of a time!! 🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ In Hermanus.
Shanon and T joining us for some selfies. ❤️❤️❤️
I want to tell this story... At night when I can't sleep (which is most nights 😆😆), I research the history of bacon curing. I read about Liebig who named nitrate and nitrites and wrote that salt itself does not preserve. Its value in meat curing is that it reduces moisture, binds water and solubilise proteins. On the other hand, he saw the value of albumen. The protein-rich exudate from meat and created his own meat extract in the town of Fray Bentos. We discussed the challenge William Oake faced related to colour formation in ham and the choice we have to make between the most nutritiois and the best colour.
Wow, what a great day we had with the kids in celebration of La'tjies B day! Liam Venter, Tristan van Tonder, Lauren van Tonder, Luani Venter, Minette Bylsma, Shannon Hounsell, Luanie - what a morning!!
Hapy B Day specialist girl-child! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Insane India Hike with two amazing people. I thought I would show them something spectacular. Instead of giving them a gift, they gave us an extraordinary gift in sharing their life story with Lauren and me with their wisdom, patience and fantastic humanity. Wow! A completely unexpected impactful experience on every level!
Zero nitrites added. Tastes absolutely delicious! Richard Bosman made it from bits of leftovers from trials we did before Christmas.
My Christmas present from Juanita, Elmar and kids. From Sudan, pig pens. Saw similar ones in West Africa.
Gammon, courtesy of Richard Bosman, cooked by Elmar van Tonder! consumed by all of us!
for my Nigerian friends.
The 68 survived but the 88 wont survive the night!
A 1968 Cabernet from Groot Constantia, bottled a year before I was born from Elmars collection. If my dad was a red wine man, maybe he would have had one on 13 April 1969 in Evander where we lived or Bethal where I was born!
George (OpenAI) wrote this for Minette.
Here is one for Shannon!
Here is what George composed for Tristan.
i now call Open IA, name George. Here is the poem George did for Lauren.
T and Shannon's B-Day! T turns 25 and Shannon is eternally young! La morphs into Anny Lennox and Minette and I are there as spectators and accomplishes! We plan to look for a road, fish, a septer and create a company of family! Wow! What an evening!
Saying goodbuy to Julie and Johann
