We had a reason to celebrate last weekend! It was Sian's 24th birthday. Originally we were going to go camping, but because that wouldn't work well for everyone, we decided to do a braai on the river.
Braai is the South African word for barbecue. I guess it is a bit more of a tradition and has a bit of a difference than an American BBQ, but I will still argue that it is very similar. The food that is grilled is different, but the social aspects are the same. Anyways, we all brought our own meat and threw it on the grill.
I made chicken kabobs with tons of veggies! I even found Italian dressing to marinate the chicken in. I also took deviled eggs and scotcharoos to share...
For desert I made a cheesecake as Sian's birthday cake. The cheesecake had an oreo crust and was topped with carmel. It turned out tasting great, but was a bit soft from being outside for a few hours. No one complained... :)
Oh! Ben and I had our first "couple-uh" clothing experience! Who is responsible for this happening is up for debate...
It was a great afternoon, but quite hot. We were going to go to the baseball game afterwards, but the game ended up being sold out! Bummer! The sun knocked us out early that night and we really couldn't even move anyways! ahaha What a great day though celebrating a great friend! :)
