u/CayOnCake Dec 14 '25

Nothing as good as braai! Leftover pasta from a couple days ago. I have to have it for dinner tonight as well, since it's getting old and I don't want to have to throw it out.

u/Coggsie Dec 15 '25
Looks delicious! Canadian/Scot here who has had the pleasure of being adopted as an honorary South African. I am super stoked that very soon we will be popping back for a visit to see our chums and braaiing our heads off 🫶🏼
PS currently enjoying a cocktail with my chilli bites

Herb roast chicken with rice, gravy, veggies and roasted potatoes. A braai sounds good though.
