Hello everybody. So as you can see from the previous posts on my blog, many of them are going to be about the food I eat. I live here in 28 Karee street Kroonstad, Free State, South Africa and I spend a lot of my time at home with my family. My blog is going to be my journal of sorts and I'll be writing about things I can think about. The videos I make I'm going to post on YouTube for you to watch. Please follow along and I hope you enjoy the journey. 

I had "Sausages and Mash" for lunch today. Pork sausages with half a potato and that which you see on the left side of the plate is the mash... It's pumpkin and carrots. The pumpkin is prepared by peeling it, cutting it into small pieces and then cooking it. The pumpkin we cut up into pieces and store it in the freezer to make preparing lunch quicker and easier. I'll post a picture of the pumpkin in another post for you guys to see. 

Two potatoes depending on the size, are peeled, washed, cut in half and in they go into the pressure cooker. The same is done for the carrots only they get chopped up and have some finely sliced and peeled onions and potatoes added to them. This all goes into the pressure cooker with a cup or so of water and then cooked until its soft. Twelve minutes or seven depending on the dish I make but this is cooked for twelve. When it's done cooking I take the vegetables out the cooker, put it in a glass bowl and mash it to bits with a masher. Then you get what you see below in the picture 

Those are one and a half of pork sausages cooked to perfection. And a few peanuts on the side and you are ready to eat. What a great lunch! And then my friends, below you see the two slices of brown bread I had for breakfast, I didn't take a picture of the milk. For the rest of the day I drink a hell of a lot of water... Hahaha haha! 

I posted videos on YouTube for you. Enjoy your day and remember to eat good food! Peace & love.
