Comments on: African Kitsch http://www.vanielje.com/blog/2008/07/02/african-kitsch/ recipes and ramblings from a vanielje spiced kitchen Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:30:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jacoba http://www.vanielje.com/blog/2008/07/02/african-kitsch/comment-page-1/#comment-58229 Jacoba Thu, 10 Jul 2008 23:26:21 +0000 http://vanielje.com/blog/?p=524#comment-58229 Yours really gorgeous! Mine never gets that gorgeous colour? Do you use boiled or roasted beetroots? I roast mine because I'm lazy and like getting all the red into the tinfoil, but I would love to know. My kids use to love it when I mixed a spinach one and the yellow one and the red one. (I cheated with the yellow & added just a touch of turmeric) but it wasn't a bad taste either. In fact we played with spices a lot - which is not prevalent in most of Italy except the young in Sicily where the North African influence is strongly felt. WHICH doesn't change the fact that I cannot get my beetroot such a gorgeous colour!!! Love your blog! Yours really gorgeous! Mine never gets that gorgeous colour?

If it weren't for the title, I would also not have guessed from the first photo what that was :) Unlike you, I DID go the whole nine yards with the basic black thing as a teenager & student. But in the end, whether you are an eau de nil or a Goth type, your inborn African love of colour will out! Oh gorgeous!

I often dance with sheer joy at colour! To all of you who don't see your comments here. I must apologise. I have such a problem with spam at the moment that I have actually deleted legit comments by mistake in my enthusiasm to get rid of the junk. I would like to ask you to visit again. I want to chat. Especially to the new visitors like the lady from (eating ?) Vancouver. And others. I now can't find you to return the visits. Hope you all have a good day. Valli, what a delightlful image.
