We're moving...

Facebook thought our "Thailand - Day 3" blog post was offensive, so they blocked our entire site?! Perhaps it was because we posted links to people's websites who have been helpful to us along the way. Fix your algorithm, Facebook!

And Blogspot isn't the easiest blog site to edit.

Our new blog site is here:

thebikerandthebaker.wordpress.com

It's still a bit rough around the edges, and with little free time, it's probably gonna stay that way. Hope you enjoy it!

Mmmmmm.... Mmmmmelkkos!

Okay, here is my first post that is now my second post: Last night, I decided to give a traditional South African recipe, called Melkkos, another go.  I tried this recipe a couple of years ago and the end result was a burnt milk, no lumps concoction - in this recipe no lumps is a disaster!  The recipe I used at that time came out of a traditional South African cookbook, called   Kook en Geniet   or the english version   Cook and Enjoy .  I don't know if the reason for my original defeat was inexperience or if the recipe is to blame.  Nevertheless, last night I googled for a recipe and decided on the following one: http://www.tastemag.co.za/ Recipe-1280/Melkkos.aspx  The recipe is by Maranda Engelbrecht on Woolies' Taste Mag website. What is Melkkos you may ask?  Directly translated it means "milk food" - does not sound very flattering, does it?  It is traditionally served on a cold winters night either as a light meal or a dessert and...

The BIG haircut

Last week whilst Jethro was busy doing an exercise with his fringe hanging his eyes, I decided that is as much as I can take and the decision was made to cut his hair.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his long hair but the hair in the eyes just got too much for me and I thought we could make it a yearly tradition, that way his hair could grow long again up until the point where it gets too messy. I initially only wanted to cut a little bit as I'm usually a bit overeager in my hair cutting attempts (Tony and Jethro can both vouch for that :) ).  A fringe was cut and I was careful to try and round it in with the longer hair as I was thinking that a straight cut fringe will be a bit like a girls hair.  It looked very nice and we decided to leave our barbery for the day until Tony gets home to give his opinion. Tony home, likes hair!!  But Jethro wanted his hair shorter "like Grandies"  and then "as short as Daddy's!".  So, on Spring day (Thursday the 1st of Septemb...

Atlantis Dunes

The dunes at Atlantis provide an expansive and varied playground for sand riders. Of particular value, the area provides sections that are sufficiently mild for those relatively new to sand riding and sections that are adequately challenging for the experienced sand rider. Doug organised a ride with the hope that there would be enough interest in an outing to the Atlantis dunes to bring together both skilled and not-so-skilled sand riders, with the former providing example, insight and support and the latter being given the opportunity to enjoy a new experience. Permits are required to access the dunes and if you make use of the area, I would encourage you to only enter with valid permits as this access is a real privaledge - and risking it is shortsighted.  I have heard via the grapevine that for a long time now, there may be pressure from nature conservation to close off this facility for motorised use.  I hope that if we all continue to supprt the current perm...
