The 24th of September is National Heritage Day in South Africa and all the different cultures like to braai in one way or another. Somebody latched onto that and National Braai Day was born on the same day. This morning I joined my fellow Geocachers on a fun day out at the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve for a Geocaching Amazing Race followed by a braai. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play along and it rained the whole morning meaning that even though we had a fantastic event most of us were also soaked to the bone. We decided to head home to a warm bath and a bit of an afternoon nap after the race and had our braai at home. Happy Heritage and Braai Day.

One of the things that struck me when I saw this photo is how much more health-conscious we have become in Canada! All that meat, and no vegetables??? I know, I know, this is exactly the way we used to braai in SA, but our ways have changed so much in the last 7 years. We bbq'd a lot in the summer (sometimes daily!), but pretty much all the time we would do one meat, a salad and some veggies. It was nice to find new ways to do different types of veggies on the grill (think dill butter new potatoes, bacon-wrapped asparagus and the like).And yes, we still make braai broodtjies, even here in Canada!
