Local Customs: Xmas lights
  • Tip Rating:
  • We are not very big on decorating our homes at x-mas time, however one suburb has been doing it for a number of years and that is Bothasig, especially Klepper street where it all started.

    Local Customs: Biltong and Droe wors
  • Tip Rating:
  • The best delicasy for most South African's are biltong and droe wors (dried sausage) Biltong and Droe wors is sold in nearly all supermarkets, most malls and sometimes even on fleamarkets. You get various varieties from beef to venison. Best for me is the beef followed by the kudu biltong.

    QUICK BILTONG RECIPE

    So, it is Wednesday and you are on your way home from work. You remember that the guys are coming over to your place on Saturday to watch sport on the box, and you decide to treat them with some homemade Biltong. You pop in at your local butcher for some good quality fresh meat, Silverside (London Broil), Topside, Steak or such, now:

    INGREDIENTS

    2 kg good quality meat
    Biltong spice (available from Biltongmakers-see our home page)

    METHOD

    Slice the meat into suitable strips, making sure that there some thin strips for those who like their Biltong a bit dry.
    Place the meat in a tray.
    Sprinkle 100 grams of dry Biltong spice (available from “Biltongmakers”) evenly over all sides off the meat.
    Protect the meat against flies and leave for 3-4 hours.
    Dry the meat with some paper towels and hang in the Biltong Maker (or a dry, drafty area).

    Local Customs: Reiki
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]


  • IF you are a Reiki practitioner visiting our city or just having moved here and looking for a group where you can practise your Reiki and learn a bit every time, why not join our Reiki group. We get together once a month at the Spinnery in Durbanville where we do group healing as well as universe and distant healing. Give Suzi a ring if you are interested and she will provide you with more information
