Rushing around is something you will see me do very often, especially in my kitchen.
Rambling on is another favourite pastime of mine; some may even say I have verbal diarrhea; must be one of the reasons hubby doesn't mind me sitting in front of my PC for hours, although he does feel quite neglected at times!
Rummaging in my Recipe drawer as well as in the pantry searching for that special ingredient that I know is hiding somewhere at the back, is something else I have to do way too often as it often happens that something I've tried to duck away so the little mouse that comes out for midnight snacks cannot find it.
Only thing is that it actually is a fully-grown human mouse that gets Ravenous at weird times when I'm not looking and goes tip-toeing into the kitchen in search of a treat!
I'm called the Kitchen Police by that certain someone;)
Things that often go missing are...
Raisins are sun-dried grapes; a healthy snack for those suffering from the munchies, and used widely in baking.
South Africa has a large number of grape growers so there's no shortage of this staple ingredient that I always have in my pantry, but they have a habit of disappearing at times!
Raisins are used in Fruit Cake, Muffins, Scones, Biscuits and a whole host of other baked goods like Christmas Mince Pies, which is what I was making for our family Christmas day celebrations last year.
A Rusk is a typical South African dried kind of Biscotti, and often contains Raisins.
Rusks come from way back in the late 1690s as a way of preserving bread when travelling long distances by oxwagon without refrigeration.
Nowadays a Rusk is slightly sweet, sliced into neat fingers and slow-dried in the oven before being packed into airtight containers.
Dunk a Rusk, ever heard that saying?
Of course the traditional way to enjoy a rusk is by dunking it into the morning coffee to soften it a little.
Another traditional South African Braai (BBQ) favourite is Roosterkoek which literally means a grill cake. This is a kind of bread bun baked on a grid over coals and comes from the indigenous Khoikhoin cuisine where food was always cooked on an open hearth.
Roosterkoek is absolutely delicious when served hot with loads of farm butter.
One of the quickest and most delicious Mediterranean Vegetable stewed dishes one can make, is Ratatouille.
This budget beating Vegan dish originated in Nice, France, and yep, it really is nicer than nice!
Nothing as good as a Lemon & Fresh Herb Roast Chicken for Sunday lunch, not so!
Marinated in Lemon juice and fresh Sage, Thyme and Rosemary with a good Sage & Onion stuffing and Roasted to a perfect crisp in the oven, this is an old time family favourite.
Roast Lemon & Herb Chicken with Sage & Onion stuffing, served with creamed Spinach & Sweet Corn and a creamy Potato Bake.
The Rubik Cube of course is not a food I hear all of you say!
It is a 3-D combination puzzle invented in 1974 by a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture called Ernő Rubik, who originally called it the Magic Cube.
I however made a fruit salad to resemble the Rubik Cube and I promise you, it was almost as difficult as solving the real puzzle, but the end result was not too shabby I must say!
BON APPETIT FRIENDS!
