Exactly a year ago, on May 16, 2008 my symptoms started, and I was diagnosed with a brain tumour a few days later. I have no intention to open a bottle to celebrate. This may sound bitter, but hey, I just don’t think this occasion warrants a party. I will, however, clean and fire up my Weber Genesis grill and treat my family to a nice braai (afrikaans for barbecue). Yummy – but first to work!

Your strength never ceases to amaze me! I hope you have a delicious BBQ and give yourself a huge pat on the back for being a fighter.
enjoy the braai all of you, wish we were there to taste some of the delicacies you’ll be serving up … and think of us ’south effricans’ sitting in a massive winter storm that keeps us glued next to the fireplace eating hot curry lamb soup! burns twice
)
hugs from gerrie, ines and sis’ XXX
by the way: whenever making a pie/quiche/tart whatever you’d like to call it, finish it off on the braai grid for an extra crispy dough!
Good to hear from you – whishing you & family a great vacation in France. Keep your spirit up – looking forward to see some fine new French recipies! Can’t do Texas cooking there!
your dinner sounds like fun! my friend ashley is here visiting from nashville with her kids. we just got back from the crab shack on tybee island. i was telling ashley about how i would call you and milena or you would call me and we’d discuss what was in our refrigerators and then get together and cook! what fun – those good, old spontaneous days!
love to m. and girls, and big hug to you!!!
Just thinking about you again and thought I’d send a big HI! from the left coast of the US. It’s feeling like summer here – schools are out and we’re starting to get fog regularly in the lovely Bay Area. hugs all around!
