Tasty Treats

South Africans love to cook out. They call it a braai (rhymes with fry), and it’s an integral part of the culture. Living Hope’s staff Christmas party was held Friday and featured the lambs pictured here. A feast like this always reminds me: I’m so glad I’m not a vegetarian. My only complaint is that the braai tradition doesn’t include smoked pig. But, like most Southern-Americans, I know that proper pork barbecue can only be found in the South, anyway. So I’ll look forward to that on my next trip home. And in the meantime, I certainly won’t turn down any spit-roasted lamb or other seared flesh that’s offered to me.
