People Types Eat More

September 13, 2009 in Die Yard by Ferril (Farrel Hardenberg)

Today is Sunday, and it’s almost lunch time :)

Yunna… the best part of the day mos! LOL!

So I was chatting to some mense the other day, about what we eat. The motchie and I had a friend over, a white lady that works with the motchie, and we were talking about our food. She says that she obviously grew up with food that didn’t really have salt n pepper in it. Flavorless mos. And we, being coloured / bruin mense, luuuuuv adding salt n pepper n all kinds of lekker spices into our kos.

So the discussion moved on and we discovered that we also ate more food than the white lady’s family too.

So that brought me to a question… “Do certain types or race of people eat more than others?”

I think so. Yurra, I remember my torpie making Sunday lunch for 4 mense where there’s 2 chickens roasting, a leg of lamb oek innie oond, roast potatoes, sweet potatoes, yellow rice (with the raisins) and squash n what what.

And we managed to eat all of that. And one thing I remember is that my torpie always wysed me, HIS taanie also used to make so much kos! Ok never mind that fact that they were something like 9 laaities! LOL!

Something the motchie wysed as well was that her taanie says we should always make more food, in case of there being the ‘lunch-time’ visitors. Mense wat sukkel mos vir lunch daait, dan ko holang hulle by ons vir vriete!! But is oraait, we don’t complain :)

Anyways, wat se die mense? Do you also eat more than you should?

Morning mense…

Kykie, this morning I was thinking about all kinds of kak again – while I was mos getting dressed for work. Thinking about all kinds of goetes… ok, so I was atually thinking of food.

Julle ken vir my al. Ek dink 24/7 van daait! LOL!!

Junne… summer kan stab out already, a man smaak a lekker braai already! Maybe with a duisend biere or something… nuh Granny!?!

Anyways… so there I was thinking about daait…

…thinking about KFC.

KFC

And I started thinking about that brasse in the KFC advert. Julle ken ‘ie een waar ‘ie ouense innie lounge sit. En hulle naam allie lekker famous taanies! Like Jennifer Aniston. “OOOoohhh Jenniferrrr…”

Then this bra wyses, “Your mums quite nice!”

BWAAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAAAA!!

Now my gedagtes work like this again… imagine the same advert, with the same script, but in afrikaans!

What you think that bra would have said, and what would the kullid ouense sitting there do?!

Simply Asia – Thai Style

Greetings my peoples, top of the morning to you! LOL!!!

Just got paid… and what does a bra do when he just got paid? Naai… fokkol biere LMIMM!!!

Daais Granville!!

Ek het kos gekoep! Giemba… ja man!!

So the motchie n I was lussing for something different. We mos always daait Nandos, Tong Lok, Kfc, McDonalds… you wys the regulars. Cheap daait man! ;)

But friday was different, we smaaked for something else, something Simply Asian!

They are nogals expensive nuh? Fokkit! Oraait, there’s a klomp daait in the small boxies.

So those of you who know me, know that I gran to eat HOT food. From those days of ordering a lekker masala steak gatsby… with extra hot ATCHA!!

So I ordered something with chilli. A chicken, cashew nut n chilli daait! And so the bra asked me…

Would you like that Mild, Medium or Hot?

So I mos wysed, I like it hot… and the motchie wys also, “No he likes hot food!”

So guess what the bra asked me?

Would you like it Thai Style HOT?!!

Hell yeah bring it on meneer!!

When we got home I was looking kak forward to my “Thai Style” daait. And you know, the first fork full is always a bietjie nervous. But it wasn’t that hot. :(

Kykie, don’t get me wrong, the food was amazing – lekker flavours n what what!!! You should definitely try it out!

So I was left wondering… what did this bra actually mean by “Thai Style”? I mean, it wasn’t that hot.

The next day I found out what “Thai Style” meant… dankie tog I wasn’t at work :P

Kwaai Advice: Nandos 2 min Noodles

June 12, 2008 in Die Yard by Ferril (Farrel Hardenberg)

Ek wiet times are tough now! Especially with this interest rate hikes! We middle income home-owners/property owners are kaking ek sê!

Anyways, here’s a bietjie advice for those of us who can’t afford to eat out so lekker anymore! En ek bedoel… eating at Nandos ;)

Kykie, to save geld… mense will have to slow down on buying the more expensive goetes now – like everyday RICE! Fokkit!!

So what the motchie and I buy every month, which is still cheap, is 2 minute noodles! Is mos something we can take to work as well, for lunch n what what.

But this morning, while I was making myself a lekker packet for breakfast… I grabbed a leftover sachet of Nandos peri-peri sauce and added it to the Chicken flavoured noodles! Left it for a while… and mmmmmmmmmmmm!!

2 Minute Noodles + Nandos

Ingredients/directions:

  1. 1 packet 2 minute noodles (Chicken flavour preferrably)
  2. 1 left-over sachet Nandos peri-peru
  3. Microwave the 2 minute noodles without adding the chicken flavouring or nandos sauce for 1 minute – stir at 30 seconds
  4. Drain a little water off the top – so that it doesn’t look like a soup mos
  5. Add flavouring stir
  6. Add Nandos peri-peri sauce, stir
  7. Wag a bietjie (3 minutes)

Enjoy!!
