Yesterday was T minus seven days to the first McGregor Winter Fair | Makietie.
Starting from the bottom of the list, yesterday was one of the biggest jobs: koeksisters.
Then it was two other items that also have long shelf lives: chicken liver pâté and the crostini.
The chicken pâtê will be available to buy on its own, or folk will be able to make their own ploughman's platter by adding cheese(s), pickles, hummus, pickles and crostini.
The latter will also go with the French onion soup which will be piping hot... Watch this space to see how I plan to serve it...
That list doesn't inlude everything, not least the last minute behind the scenes organising with the team.
We are trusting the weather gods have timed the cold front perfectly. It will pass and leave clear skies, sun and snowy mountains for the perfect backdrop.
So, Cape Town peeps, here's something to do over the long weekend. Follow my traditional social media for details: fionasfavourites or Destination Mcgregor on Instagram or Facebook.
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
