A Boer Maak 'n Plan




Well the boys in our home absolutely love biltong! We usually order some as a special treat from a South African store in North Carolina. We last did this in December and the boys have been begging Mike to order some more, so on Friday he ordered a pound of biltong and a pound of droerwors over the internet. Shocked at having to pay $50 for his small order, he set out to make his own biltong maker!! On Friday afternoon we went off to Target and the hardware store and he gathered his supplies. He put together his own biltong box for less than $10. Yesterday he did whatever it is you do to the meat and then hung it up. It currently lives in the garage, however because the window on the garage is broken we have to bring it inside at night due to the raccoons - they'd have a feast on it. Our biltong will be ready on Wednesday, now we just need a good rugby game to watch and we're all set!! Will let you know how it tastes.
