Beef stew... From a packet ... Not really.. Really

I made beef stew for one of my friends. A lady friend... Not that kind of lady as she likes ladies too... Something we have in common. Back to the stew. One of the local grocery stores sells a pre- assembled package of veggies; turnips, leeks, carrots , and parsley. I added some wine and some freshly killed cow... Served on a bed of rice...Yummmmmy. A hearty meal on a cold African night.

Late night snack.... Late being 7pm.

Apples and peanut. Huge fan. I use no salt or sugar pb n sweet apples. Getting my fix on healthy.

1 jar of pb
1 spoon
1 apple
Oh I like cayenne it'll be tasty.

Dip,spoon,nom,munch. Rar

Curried rice num yum.

The kids tell me they are hungry . Curried rice it is. Cayenne + Onion + tomato + garam masala + salt + rice = happy kids. .... No idea about the measurements ...made it quick. People love things that aren't measured.

"Simba" a joy for generations

Brightly colored , sometimes stale, sometimes crunchy. Simba is the basis of the mid morning snack forget morning tea. Sometimes it is breakfast ...or in my case an after school demon. I enjoy the white(cream cheese) flavor... It tastes nothing like cheese. It is addictive. Beware beware!

Still delicious though . Not.

Simba. 5 bop/R.50/$.07
