Fired-up Cooking SA @ Food24

I spent part of my morning baking a sweet tart to take with to a braai this afternoon – it’s on the kitchen table cooling at the moment (recipe to follow). 

AP and I took a quick walk around to the front garden to look at our building project, leaving the back door open…………as we came back around the house, there were three monkeys raiding the bird-feeders!  I nearly died of horror at the thought of them being in the kitchen with my newly baked tart!! Fortunately, they hadn’t gone inside, naughty rubbishes.
