  1. We type the menus everyday, and we then explain it to the Front Of House staff, but one of the senior chefs still go out to the table and talk to the guests to make a recommendation, or answer questions if there are any... the General Manager wants us to go through the whole menu and explain every component of the 3 starters, soup, 4 main courses, 2 desserts and all the cheeses on the cheese platter... I am sorry, but NO guests has ever shown interest in hearing the menu like that. they stop you after the first starter and ask what I will recommend, or inquire about possible dietaries, and then they read the menu for themselves... So I generally recommend the starter, main course and dessert that I would eat if I was the guest.

  2. We are back in Franschhoek. we decided to drive it all in one go. We both feel very "peopled out" like, we just want to be alone with each other for a few days, only have each other for company, and not have to see any one else for a few days. I also feel very "meated out" when it comes to food. Meat has been the main (and sometimes only) thing you would get on a plate with some french fries/chips, which I do not consider a vegetable... The day before we came back, we went to a Chinese restaurant, and I ordered and ate 2 bowls of just vegetables... I am not a vegetarian, but I do consider vegetables to be the main part of the plate, and meat as the accompaniment. Glad to be back. The cold weather was a bit of a shock (yes yes I know, we only moved from 30°C to 18°C for day temperatures... but I got to walk in Shorts and T shirts in Namibia, my favourite choice of clothing.... now it is back to long pants, long sleeve shirts, jackets, warm boots, blankets, and I am still cold.... Hope you guys are doing well!?!
