Braai

The braai ended up being quite successful, although not as relaxing as it would be in SA. Everyone was scheduled to arrive at 13:00, so I put the braai on at 12:00, which was probably half an hour too late.

We bought a large amount of meat for the braai; ribs, steak, lamb chops, chicken fillets and drumsticks and boerewors (beef sausage), in addition we had salads, garlic bread, rolls, kim (dried seaweed) and kimchi (fermented cabbage) ( adding a Korean touch to the braai), beer (Budweiser) and lots of wine.

The weather couldn't have been better, it was a hot day with clear skies, if only we had a pool in the garden ... I can still dream.

We were a little worried about where everyone was going to sit, but there was no need, as we have a low table in the lounge and it is normal to sit on the floor in Korea, so everyone naturally went and sat on the floor.

Everyone arrived on time and enjoyed the cold beer, the guys helped with cooking the meat as usual, although the fire was still really hot making the cooking a bit difficult.

Everyone enjoyed the food, although most of the steak was cooked medium ( still pink in the middle), which I thought was perfect but it turns out people in Korea normally have it cooked well done or what I would consider overcooked and they do not like the pink in the meat, so many people left the middle and only ate the edges, oh well ...

All in all it was a good day, but Carla and I were exhausted at the end and just spent the evening at home relaxing in front of the TV.
