I was given this book quite a time ago and it was also one of the …27 drafts! on my blog…so 26 more to go! Sometimes, when I want to blog about something…but later… you know sometimes you want to do something…but then you say in your head…”later”…not now…ok, now you know what I’m talking about…Langenhoven – a wise “King Solomon” of South Africa…(see some of his quotes on the side bar of my blog)…used to say…and I translate…”the lazy person/sluggard’s day of work is ‘tomorrow’ “ – (Die luiaard se werksdag is “môre”!)..That means…I was too lazy to blog it immediately…lol! not really, I was only busy with something I found more enjoyable/interesting to blog…I usually save stuff on draft and there it waits…for one rainy day! So, having some rainy weather here now…also some quite cold weather, much colder than last week…here’s today’s draft no 12 for you…. A collection of recipes from WWII. I’ve thought to share a few recipes from this cute little book! I do hope you find it “interesting” too! Click and zoom in on the images to have a larger view and print them off!

Nee o aarde ek weet darem nie of ek Skaap harte sal eet nie, oorlog of nie! 😆
Nikita ek het ook so vreeslike ou resepte boek van my ouma, ek is baie heilig oor hom. Die blaaie is al lelik en stukkend. Opgebruik!
Ek dink ek moet hom bietjie gaan uitgrou!
🙂 hi Wipneus… ja nee, ek stem saam, maar ek dink as mens in daardie tye geleef het, het jy dit geeet! Ek wens ek kon my ouma-grootjie se resepteboek nou hier gehad het!! Nog gedeeltes in Nederlands geskryf! en ander net-net Afrikaans…so ‘n mengelmoes van Afrikaans/Hollands/Engels…en alles in haar eie handskrif met boererate van daardie tyd ook…
Baie interressant, ek is deesdae gefasineerd met WWl en WWll geskiedenis.
hi eilandkind.. ek is ook vir ‘n paar jaar gefasineerd met die geskiedenis, maar meer oor WWII… eintlik vanaf skooldae-se geskiedenis-dae is ek meer erg oor WWII as WWI…miskien het dit begin toe ek as 11/12jarige die Anne Frank boek by my een sussie as geskenk gekry het.
you should tell people what the recipes are
hi Jessica, Welcome to my blog. If you click on the images, you can clearly see what they are about…the recipe has a title/name. 🙂 …that’s what I said in the post too.
what on earth were people saying on the first few posts
hi candypup
Welcome to my blog. It is my mother tongue! Afrikaans is a language, the youngest language in the world. Afrikaans developed from the Dutch language and it is very similar to the Flemish Language too. I’m quite sure you are familiar with languages of the world, you may want to read more about the Afrikaans language – or even the Dutch language – all Germanic languages — have a look at this link…

Hi Meisie
Dankie vir jou kommentaar. Ek stem saam met jou met die skaap harte. 🙂
Truly enjoyed looking through your recipes and other information. Lived here in USA for forty years and still
long for some good old SA dishes. I do have several
cook books but the family don’t seem to enjoy the
dishes and deserts I grew up with. I am going to try the
“pap tert”, that sounds great. Keep up the good work and
hopefully I’ll be back in South Africa for a long visit in 2012.
Groete
hi Gael, Welcome to my blog! [Welkom hier op my blog]. I’m glad you enjoyed what you found here. Pity your family doesn’t enjoy the dishes as much as you wanted. The “pap tert” is really delicious. Enjoy your visit to SA in 2012! Groete aan jou ook!
