My South African hunting & dining experience

My daughter Karen produced this short 3minute video on my wonderful hunting and dining experience with  Lukhulu Safaris   in the Free State of South Africa!

We dined on what we hunted… what could be better than that?

South Africa is definitely on every American hunter’s “bucket list” that I know… and honestly, I want to go back!

Excuse the realistic picture my daughter drew above, but she did capture the essence of a hunt.

Oh, about a year ago, I planned a little hunting Safari and set a date, bought plane tickets and arranged for everything I needed for the trip…. only one glitch… My wife mistook the date I was returning for the date I was leaving and made a few commitments for us during the time I will be gone. Oh well!

Although we’ve been married  40 years this year, I am amused at how much we know about each other… yet, sometimes on rare occasions… we miss and this always surprises us both!

Oh, my Spanish Tortilla is a bit different, but it is the difference that makes it so… so… yummy! CLICK on this picture for my basic recipe

One of my favorite mid day meals is a Spanish Tortilla full of various aged ham, sausage, numerous types of onions, cheese and wondrous potato! All of this topped with sour cream, sliced olives and sectioned avocado.

Cooked in a pan and shaken slightly during the cooking process to keep the mixture from sticking and flipped to bake again … produces this beautiful composition!

In this picture above you can see the sliced aged ham making its appearance as well as the cilantro and fire baked green peppers if you look close enough!

Even the raw mixture and its delicious aroma has a come hither attraction.

If you haven’t ever made a Spanish Tortilla… maybe this is your chance… I have some step-by-step pictures on the link that will help you get there… oh yes, although I didn’t place it into the recipe… a cup of cheese into the mixture makes a wonderful addition!
