Oumas Rusk I did'nt care for - Nor did I like my wife's Biskuit!!!!! But I looked at her with my Rooibos tea and a mouth full of Biskuit and said " Wow...Honey this is delishious!"
Never did I realize that I'd end up eating so much of that stuff! I had to hork down that dry crusty tasteless stuff almost everyday at breakfast with her before one day she said "I'm sick of this stuff!"!!! Oh how I was relieved!
I've eaten almost all of my wifes worst cooking mistakes with a smile!!!! She's a great cook....NOW!!! But always has been a great woman! Plus she's FROM Durban!!! So I'm hoping to get her to make me some of SurfnSpear's Samoosas when she gets home FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!! Maybe she'll be in the mood...Not FOR THAT!!!! We'll maybe...but she IS carrying TWINS! I meant to make samoosa's!
Man do I miss my wife & my baby boy...31 days to go and s l o w l y counting...(Before she comes home) not sure when exactly the TWINS are due yet!
P.S. - I've been living on frozen pizza, beer, and Taco Bell! Come to think of it... I'D LOVE SOME OF MY WIFE'S DRY OLD CRUSTY RUSK AN SOME ROOIBOS!  |
The first time I tried to bake rusks the "traditional" way, I baked a pan of bricks instead. I thought to myself, "no wonder all the SAffers I know are so skinny... you can't eat this stuff!" I've since developed a different recipe (whole wheat, oats, buttermilk, almond extract, and poppyseeds) - while not authentic probably, my friends will eat it.
Thanks to Bdurett, frozen pizza now always reminds me of his story about the Sachsenhausen Naked Man
Sorry you miss your wife and boy. I do know what it is like to miss those you love. Maybe you could bake a batch of those fish samosas and send her a pic of the delicious things you plan to cook her... perhaps she will come back sooner!
Safe and happy travels to your wife and three kids
and you have fun thinking of names in the meantime! If they're two boys, you can name them Martin and Kirk. If they're two girls you could name them Island and Sands.
Or go with an Italian theme: Umberto and Valentino.
Or Tom and Herbert. ..
