Seared tuna…

Share

One of the great things about summer in Cape Town, is the ample supply of fresh yellow-fin tuna.

Seared tuna

There is nothing that can beat freshly seared tuna, cooked on hot coals. It is a gloriously warm summer evening, so I decided to cook fresh tuna on my father’s old gas grille. You need to heat the grill at least 1/2 hour before cooking, and cook the tuna for about a minute MAX each side, but it is magic, tender and melting in the month. Just look at how it turned out.

The grill entered our family in the early 80′s, so it has been in the family for over 30 years. My father gave it to me in a weak moment a few years ago, and has been asking for it back ever since.

It still cooks the best beef steaks in Africa, and as you can see, the best tuna as well.

Winner of humour contest

Humourous HopAbout Competition 24th November 2008 - Copy
On Monday, I entered the annual humour-hopabout contest, hosted by Table Bay Toastmasters club in Cape Town. Now, I normally am not able to compete. This is because district officers are not allowed to enter official Toastmasters contests. However, because this is an unofficial contest, I was able to enter.

The humour-hopabout contest has been running for almost 30 years in Cape Town. It is loads of fun, and a great opportunity to hear some really funny speeches.

Well, imagine my surprise when I won the contest with my speech, which examined the lighter side of mobile phones!

So, at least for the next year I am the humour champion in Cape Town!

Enjoy the speech on youtube!
