One of my closest (non lethal) encounters with a dear ended up with the poor girls head stuck in between the top spotlights and the bull bar. Was a real "oh deer" moment..

Sounds like the new head of Cricket England Andrew Strauss. Didn't have anything terribly nice to say about Kevin Pietersen.

Silliest decision to sack him in the first place and now an even sillier decision to leave him out.

The guy is pure class. Has more to offer than the current lot. Who cares that he has a few management issues.

No no, after a bit of help she walked away

Getting warmer and more humid here, so summer is just around the corner which means barbecue time!

Anyone want to share their fantastic meat marinade / seasoning ideas?

I realise many just like some salt and pepper then burn it on the burner, but in case anyone had some other ideas?

I'll also take ideas for fantastic accompanying salads.

I know I could look some of this up, but there are just so many things to choose from. Premarinated meat is an option as well.

No recipes that involve beef, please. It's really expensive here.

Fired up (one of) my BBQ's on Sunday, was a lovely day... sun shining into the back yard. Wonderful.

What's premarinated mean? Is a twice marinated process? Sounds interesting.

If beef is a problem, chicken probably isn't. I find that chicken ( no bones) thighs work a treat. I used to prepare a simple marinade of seed mustard , olive oil + whatever additional seasonings you like. Cook gently it can caramelize and burn if you have too much heat.
Then of course the wonderful array of European sausages surely must tempt ?!

OK that was silly I meant just "marinated". As in they have marinated the meat, then packed it into the package to buy at the store. I haven't tried marinating something more than once.

Chicken is reasonably priced here and certainly a candidate for the burner.

There are plenty of sausages, but you wouldn't throw most of them on the burner. Some you might heat up in a pot of water, or some you may just eat them as is.


At least in this Francophone culture, a popular way to serve barbeque is with (or cooked with) herbed butter or Cafe de Paris butter, a side of frites and garden salad.


I miss a good South African braai... nothing like a wood cooked boerewors.

There is more to the Peterson story that can be publicly aired no doubt.

Back in the Sydney T3 J lounge after 6 weeks. The staff serving the plate of the day recognised me, said it's been a while and asked if I've lost weight. That's how to make someone feel at home.

Didn't have the heart to tell him that VA don't feed me, so I'll be putting it back on with impeding visits to the J lounge.

It can only be a personality clash. They obviously think he detracts from the environment.

is doping a possibility?
