MARKET BARGAINS

Quite a haul this week with the lovely fresh beetroot, carrots, sweet potatoes and especially the green mielies (maize) still in their green jackets with fresh brown beards. I was talking to *Chris Vis and he told me that he cooked his mielies with their green leaves in the microwave for 3 minutes and the result was delicious.
* The village has the custom of giving people with similar names an additional name. Thus Chris Vis (Fish) serves fish and chips at his restaurant and Chris Hare (hair) is the hairdresser. Johan Boom (tree) cuts down trees and Johan Blom (flower) grows cutflowers....and so on!
