Early morning sun, coffee, and the blue wildebeest that just kept on giving...

It took us two days to break down the carcass by hand, and slice out all the best pieces for the biltong all the while putting aside the little pieces for mincing down to make the sausage



Finally the biltong is hung out to dry.



Then we started on the sausage.   

                  Little miss muffett decided if she didn't come to our aid we would never finish making the "wrosie".    
                                Spreading the mince over a layer of diced fat                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Little hands spreading another layer of fat over the red meat
Tirelessly turning the handle to feed the mix into the casings...





                                            We made thin little ones for drying (never again), 
                                   big flat ones also for drying, and fat round ones for the braai.




How proud she was of her "wrosie" and how proud a granny am I!!!




There 
is a theory 
that to allow little ones 
to help in the kitchen preparing food
is such a confidence booster, the author
of the article went so far as to say that it is a hedge against 
substance abuse in their teenage years.   

Not only does it foster self-worth, 
it makes them aware of what is good for eating, 
and therefore what is good for their body, 
helping formulate better choices 
concerning the body 
and how 
to look 
after 
it
