Well… I have dropped 87 pounds on Jenny Craig! I feel great and I am into size 32 jeans which is very cool.
However, I have come to realize that I still want and NEED great food! Jenny’s food is wonderful… but I do think about food a lot anyway, so this gives me a chance to plan something special now and again. (Our 35th wedding anniversary is on the 12th of September)
I am particularly fond of the Cape Town favorite “Bobotie”. I bake it often. I am also researching a few other South African and Afrikaner dishes that have caught my attention, like “Smoorvis” (smoked fish and rice) and “Hoender Pastei” (chicken pie).
We are also looking at preparing a ‘Bobotie hamburger”– which will require tweaking the recipe a bit — topped with baked egg, onions and Mrs. Balls Chutney Sauce which sounds very special. It’s in the lab for further study!

Here’s our “Bobotie” recipe that contains a lot of traditional flavors (Leipoldt) as well as many of the current wonderful variations out there.
