This Honey Teriyaki Glaze is essential to making the glazed baby back ribs that I shall share with you soon. However, the glaze is perfect for chicken wings and worth making extra to keep in the fridge.

Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Honey Teriyaki Glaze ♥
Dave and I started off our overseas adventures in 2008. From then until 2017 we usually went away towards the end of April. If Easter fell at the right time we would start our vacation on Good Friday, and come back after the 1st of May public holiday. As the 27th of April is also a public holiday here, we missed very few days of work. Over the past 5 years, that has not been the norm. In 2017 and this year we went to Johannesburg for my Father’s birthday. We had originally planned to travel on to Europe 5 years ago but at the last minute decided not to go. Which was fortuitous as Dave’s engineer did not pitch for work during that time period. In 2018 we went to England in February, and thought that travelling again so soon was not cost effective.

The most expensive aspect to travelling are the airline tickets and car hire. 2019 we took the traditional time period off work and did our traditional barge trip with friends. Of course, it goes without saying why we were at home in April and May of last year. But being in South Africa does not mean staying at home. So we booked a weekend away in a cottage on a farm. We went with the friends we usually travel with and needless to say, the cottage was bigger than the barge. In a sense it was wonderful to have so much space. But in another, it was weird having Eric and Dave far away in the lounge, while Bev and I were chatting in the dining room. I confess to having shopped for 2 nights as if we were on the canals for 7. So we ate well, and had a great, relaxing time away.

Do you have a traditional holiday period? Where do you usually go, and has that changed now with Covid?
sounds like you’ve had some great trips over the years…
We have indeed.
Tandy your glaze looks delicious and just the kind I love to make and eat.
Hope you try it 🙂
I am worried about the cost and even availability of renting a car for our October vacation. I guess we’ll drive if we have to though it’s close to 1500 miles each way. Your ribs look so good I’m wondering if I have some deep in the bottom of my frreezer!
To drive that far to start a vacation is quite a challenge! But the cost may outweigh the journey 🙂
