There is no reason why you can't have a beautiful table to eat your grilled food. I don't think a braai is quite the same as a home barbecue.<BR/><BR/>Rachel, having made the remark about the square orange, I saw what you had written in your comment - it is a bit difficult to show in a picture, I suppose a video would be better, but that's not easy. Thanks for the praise. I enjoyed your blog too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-39498343258933051922008-05-25T09:17:00.000-04:002008-05-25T09:17:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link to my site!

If you look at the second shot, you can see the peel is curved. And I say as much in the directions.<BR/><BR/>(Oh gosh, I'm a bit defensive! Sorry! LOL.)<BR/><BR/>Fab blog btw!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>RachaelRachael Narinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238568846727058398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-57838329164101352272008-05-25T06:04:00.000-04:002008-05-25T06:04:00.000-04:00It is also a holiday weekend in the U.K. Here in F...It is also a holiday weekend in the U.K. Here in France we will however have to wait until July 14 (Bastille Day) for another public holiday. <BR/><BR/>The French are also now going in for bbq's. There are dreadful accidents though each summer with exploding grills so the gov run warning ads on tv.<BR/><BR/>Having grown up in South Africa, a bbq is no stranger to me. Can't say that I like them though. Give me a beautifully-set table any day.<BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z. Tomlinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393948791752045902noreply@blogger.com
