Our challenge for July 2009 goes hand in hand with our Recession 101 series. Besides the fact that it is absolutely great in cold weather, it will save you money if you opt for this instead of joining friends at an impersonal restaurant where someone else calls the shots. What am I on about?

A Potjie Evening.

We are challenging all of you to give up the luxury of a clean house and the joy of being served and invite your friends over for a truly South African experience.

You have a choice between a Chicken, Seafood, Beef and Beer, Curry, Lamb or any other Potjie you can dream up.

Dust of the garden furniture, get out the charcoal and the red wine and get the fire going already!
