This is my out and about post for Friday 30 May 2014 when I was in Camps Bay for the launch of Peppadews’ new range of pasta sauces.
Out And About: Friday 30 May 2014
Last week on Friday 30 May, I went to the launch of Peppadews’ new range of pasta sauces. We were shown just how easy the sauces are to prepare. Basically open the jar, add to the pan and heat. There are many great advantages to these sauces – they can be used for more than pasta and they can be left in the fridge for 4 days after opening. This is perfect for a 2 person household. After a kitchen demonstration we had lunch on the patio overlooking Camps Bay! I was sent home with a bottle of each sauce and the most stunning spaghetti spoon!
Disclosure: I was invited to attend this event. My invitation was not based on me posting about Peppadew Pasta Sauces. This post is in line with my blogging policy.
I enjoyed a lot of biltong this weekend as on Saturday I went to order some sausage casings and came home with biltong. Dave went up on Sunday to collect the casings – they weren’t there as promised but he did come home with some more biltong. On Monday I went to collect the casings and yes, I came home with some more biltong. If you live in the Helderberg basin pop down to Mountain Stream Nursery in Gordons Bay and visit Rudi’s for the best biltong around.

Don’t think I have ever used a pasta sauce from a bottle before. Your spoon is gorgeous.
Have a wonderful weekend Tandy.

I am so looking forward to using these sauces for the nights I do not feel like cooking 🙂
I had to google what biltong was…ah! got it!
I use pasta sauces often when camping. Nice spoon!

Sorry Ela, I really must remember not all of my readers are familiar with what we eat here in South Africa 😉
I really like how these sauces can be left in the fridge for up to 4 days and are still usable. I hate wasting stuff! Or when I find a bottle of moldy sauce in the back of the fridge!!
I also hate waste! Thanks for the visit Laura 🙂
Ooo I would love to try those sauces, especially the one with jalapenos!!
It is a bit too hot for me so I will set it aside for when I am not home 🙂
That pasta spoon is gorgeous Tandy, the sauces all look good.
I am so excited about the spoon!
That spaghetti spoon is beautiful! I’m unfamiliar with bitlong. I googled it and if I’m right it is similar to our jerky, a dried meat . Is that correct?
It is similar to jerky but not exactly the same. I should try and post a blog about it 🙂
It is so hot here in HK and even with the aircon on. These kinds of days it is perfect with a little pasta sauce and some sauces. It is so hot today, I don’t want to even boil pasta.. LOL
I cannot imagine that type of heat!
What a fantastic launch to be invited to, who doesn’t love good sauce?!
Cheers

The quality of the sauce is amazing!
Biltong is so delicious! Such a shame I couldn’t bring it into Australia as we loved the ones that we tried there 🙂
I have seen so many people spending their whole flight to Australia eating the biltong they had set aside to bring for friends 🙂
Sounds like a very pleasant way to spend a morning, Tandy. I think the Tomato and Basil would be my first pick. 🙂
It was one of my favourites AD 🙂
i really like pepperdews and the flavour they add
Me too Usha 🙂
Very creative spoon!!
Thanks for sharing.
