From the Editor’s desk Signing off on this summer guide as the final AWSUM issue for 2015 has been a pretty surreal experience. It’s a little hard to imagine that a full year has passed.

While we don’t always get the chance each month, to touch base with all the friends and contacts that we’ve managed to build up over the last year, I do want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the AWSUM community. Also to our AWSUM team, who have helped to build the AWSUM brand from 6 regions at the start of 2015 to 15 regions to date!

Join our AWSUM Facebook pages

I hope you enjoy our second Summer Holiday Guide! It really does contain something for everyone: from what to do, markets to visit, interesting articles to some handy DIY ideas.

I encourage you to sit back with your feet up in the air and enjoy the read.

May you all travel safely this festive season and have some quality family time. I, for one, look forward to some summer time!

See you in 2016!

Kom sussie, ons gaan mark toe!

Indiese kerrie, vars speserye, handgemaakte pasta, stadige gebakte koffiebone, donker geurvolle sjokolade, melk-en heuningterte, hoog geryste koeke, warm vars Franse brode, groot vars organiese vrugte en groente, kase, plaashoenders, plaas- eiers en organiese verouderde vleis.

Dit is die idee wat mens kry as jy dink aan plaasmarkte en slow food markte.

Markte bring die geurige happies van die ou dae terug. Die fees om kos te maak, die samesyn van `n gesin of vriende – dié nostalgie heers by `n mark.

Ons moedig julle aan om julle plaaslike market te besoek en te ondersteun.

Ons lys vir julle `n paar om te besoek.

You cannot unscramble eggs, therefore you need to deal with the consequences You may prefer, fried. You may look at the other people sitting at the table enjoying their fried eggs and wish that you could have what they are having. The bottom line is, you can eat them, live with them and enjoy them just the same. It’s important to learn and teach our kids that if you want fried eggs, it’s best not scramble them in the first place.We share 3 easy egg recipes.

Baked Eggs With Cream and Herbs Ingredients: • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened • 8 tablespoons heavy cream • 8 large eggs • Salt and black pepper • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley and dill) • Toast, for serving

Heat oven to 200° C. Coat four 4-ounce ramekins with the butter. In each ramekin, place 2 tablespoons cream.

Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin; season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.Bake until the whites are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with the herbs and serve with toast.

Baked Eggs With Cream and Herbs Ingredients: • 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the baking dish • 1 medium onion, chopped • 1 250-300g package button mushrooms, trimmed and quartered • 1/2cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley • 6 large eggs • 2 cups whole milk • Salt and black pepper • 6 cups country bread, cut into 1-inch pieces • 1 cup Cheddar, grated • 4 cups mixed greens • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

•

•

•

Heat oven to 180° C. Oil an 8-inch square baking dish. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and any liquid has cooked off, 4 to 6 minutes more. Remove from heat and mix in the parsley.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the bread, cheese, and mushroom mixture and toss; transfer to the prepared dish. Bake until golden brown and set, 50 to 60 minutes.

In a bowl, toss the greens with the vinegar, the remaining oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Serve with the strata.

Jean, also the brand ambassador for the Zurreal wellbeing and rewards programme, which is offered at no additional charge to all Resolution Health Medical Scheme and Spectramed Medical Scheme members, has 109 Test caps.

De Villiers is South Africa’s mostcapped centre and has twice been named South Africa player of the year (2008 and 2013).

The perfect family holiday destination

Safety tips when you go on holiday •

• •

• • • •

Advise your security company if you are going away and ensure that you supply all the necessary information regarding nearby key holders, in case of an emergency.

Inform your neighbours of your holiday plans so that they can keep an eye on your property.

Stop all newspaper deliveries and ask a friend or neighbour to collect your post. A bulging post box is a dead giveaway that you are not at home.

If hiring a house sitter, ensure that you teach them how to use your alarm correctly.

Double check that you have locked and secured all windows and doors before leaving home.

Ensure that all your outside locks are a minimum of four lever locks or double cylinder security locks.

Never leave a key in the inside of an

outer door which has glass panels or glass near the door lock.

Having security gates fitted on outer doors is a highly effective security measure that gives you an extra line of defence.

Sliding doors can be secured simply by placing a piece of timber cut to size in the sliding rail. Make sure that sliding doors cannot be lifted vertically.

Full fencing and sturdy gates are a good deterrent.

Have good exterior lighting, preferably on a timer.

Do not leave tools like ladders or spades outside, as they can be used to break into your house.

Clear signage indicating that you have security also helps to discourage burglars.

Beat the heat

With South Africa’s summer in full swing, temperatures soaring, and some experts predicting a particularly hot and dry summer, we caution you to take measures to protect your health, and that of the elderly and young children.

“We are fortunate in South Africa to enjoy a wonderfully warm climate, however this comes with certain dangers that we must learn to mitigate through behavioural change during hot spells, particularly in humid regions such as parts of KwaZuluNatal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga,” says Resolution Health Medical Scheme principal officer, Mark Arnold.

The elderly and young children are particularly susceptible to heat-related health conditions. “The elderly tend to dehydrate more quickly than other healthy adults, while babies and young children’s bodies’ internal thermoregulatory systems are not yet fully developed.

People suffering from chronic lung and heart conditions and those taking certain medicines which may impair heat regulation are particularly heat sensitive.

This puts these age groups and individuals at great risk in the heat”, he explains.

“Hyperthermia is a condition in which the body temperature becomes dangerously high and the body cannot dissipate heat in a hot or humid environment, especially while doing physical activities. We more commonly hear about heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which are both forms of hyperthermia.”

Heat exhaustion is a less severe form of hyperthermia, which can lead to heat stroke if not adequately treated.

The health risks associated with high temperatures should not be underestimated as heat stroke, which happens when the body’s core temperature increases beyond 40 degrees Celsius,

can be fatal.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: • profuse sweating; • muscle cramps and body aches; • nausea; • vomiting; • fatigue; • dizziness; • pale skin.

“If you or anyone else shows symptoms of heat exhaustion, take action immediately. Get out of the heat, drink plenty of water, remove any tight or unnecessary clothing, and take a cool shower or bath to reduce the body temperature. If these measures don’t provide relief within 30 minutes, then the person could be suffering from the more serious condition of heat stroke,” Arnold cautions.

Sowat 60km van elke 100km van die land se padnetwerk van meer as 550 000km is beskadig of het slaggate en sowat een uit elke 12 dodelike padongelukke (8,02%) in Suid-Afrika is aan die swak toestand van die paaie toe te skryf.

Gedurende Desember is die land se paaie weer vol met duisend vakansiegangers, maar vir SuidAfrikaners is daar een s-woord wat ons humeurvlakke toets…en dis SLAGGATE. Ons almal kry `n rilling in ons nek as mens net dink aan die skade wat `n slaggat aan jou kar kan doen en niemand het Januarie fondse beskikbaar na die kerstyd, om dit te herstel nie.

Ons deel met jou raad wat om te doen as jy die s-woord tref.

• Motoriste wat `n slaggat tref moet dadelik `n bandehandelaar besoek om die balans en sporing te laat nagaan.

• Dit is ook belangrik dat hulle `n visuele inspeksie van die onderkant van die voertuig doen om enige bykomende skade vas te stel. As dit nie gou gedoen word nie, kan dit uitermatige bandslytasie en hoër brandstofverbruik tot gevolg hê.

•

•

Wanneer die kar in `n rigting trek na jy `n slaggat getref het, dui dit op die wielbalansering wat uit is. Dit moet reggestel word oor dit op die langtermyn nadelige gevolge vir jou motor kan inhou.

Die belangrikste natuurlik is om slaggate te vermy.

Hoe kan jy slaggate vermy?

•

•

•

Moenie teenaan die kar voor jou ry nie. Jy gaan vinniger kan reageer as jy `n afstand voor jou het om die slaggat raak te sien.

Dis `n mite dat mens oor `n slaggat kan “vlieg” as jy vinnig oor hom ry, daarom ry stadiger!

Kyk uit vir poele, omdat dit partykeer soos `n poel lyk, maar eintlik `n slaggat kan wees.

How to play car cricket Car cricket is great to play on long game trips, in the city however; you’ll discover that it doesn’t work so well.

The rules: 1. One person at a time comes up to ‘bat’, and they score ‘runs’ when vehicles are sighted.

As jy die slaggat tref, onthou die volgende: • •

Hou die stuurwiel styf vas, sodat jy beheer oor die kar het.

Moenie rem terwyl jy die slaggat tref nie, dit kan die skade vererger. Los jou rem die oomblik as jy die slaggat tref.

Veilig reis!

2.How do you score: • White cars are worth one run • Coloured cars are worth two runs • Black cars are worth two runs.

• Caravans are worth four runs • Trucks are worth six runs • Any vehicle towing anything collects an additional run • And red cars, they get you out.

3. For cars to count as runs they must be moving and traveling in the opposite direction.

4.If you get one hundred runs, you retire 5.If you are the first to get one hundred runs, you win.

6.If no one reaches one hundred runs, the person with the most runs win.

Fighting over the TV remote

You and your family sit on the couch, TV right in front of you.

Whatever programme was on had been put on sport before you gotten home. Since you were in no way interested in the channel, you grab the remote, which was lying next to your husband on the cushion. “Hey” he whines. “What?” You asked a little annoyed. “It’s not like you were even watching this. You were on your phone this whole time!” “I wasn’t”. He claimed, setting his phone aside. Must I carry on or does this sound familiar?

All though holiday time means fun in the sun, relaxing and chilling, it also means having the TV remote as your biggest enemy. Sports or no sports? BBC Lifestyle VS Comedy Central?

Let’s be honest: There’s something very comforting knowing that this holiday, after a long year of work and going to school, you can sit on your comfy couch and turn on the TV. Everyone loves some quality TV time, but how you watch TV may vary from person to person.

If you nod about all the statements mentioned above, it’s normal. In a recent poll 63% of families participated indicated that they fight over the remote. It’s more than half of them!

A newspaper in San Diego even reported on a man being stabbed by his brother following an argument over the TV remote control. A Minneapolis woman decided to drive her point home by stabbing her boyfriend, after a heated argument over who ought to get dibs on the remote control.

Right, so the next time you even think about snatching the remote, think again.

Thankfully, there are some pretty convenient solutions to such pesky television disputes, especially during summer holidays.

Here are seven ways that you can help your family stop fighting over the remote: 1.

Get another TV Sign up for a TV service which allows for recording Assign everyone a different weekday - divide up the days of the week among your family members.

Encourage generosity and sharing Keep all sharp objects out of the TV room that could cause your family to reach the front page of the local newspaper far away!

Get out of the house and do something. Read your AWSUM Summer guide for some local fun stuff to do as a family and get out and about!

Play board games as a family. This is one of the few times a year when the family isn’t that busy and together as a unit. Dust the board games and get playing!

Happy TV watching!

Tick this list in 2016

Sometimes, the smallest of household tasks are overlooked therefore the New Year signifies a fresh start in the home and is the perfect time to check them all off your list.

Here are 10 simple but essential housekeeping chores you might not have remembered to do: 1. Rotate your mattress at least once a year 2.

Feather, down and synthetic pillows should be washed once a year to eliminate oils, residue, dead skin and dust that inevitably settle in the pillows and make them sag

6.

UV rays are an excellent (and green and free) source of disinfectant. You can’t exactly throw a rug into the washer, but you can easily haul it outside, fling it over a railing (or on a clean surface) and give it a few hours in direct sun to air it out and kill any bacteria in the fibres.

7.

Rugs placed near windows and doors will eventually fade from the bright, hot rays streaming in (even if it’s indirect light), so it’s important to spin them around 180 degrees (after you air them out, of course!) and expose the other side to sun in even fading.

3.

If you don’t remember changing your toothbrush with in the last six months, change them all

4.

Now is a good time to take stock of your inventory and replace, repurpose, or give away any linens that are worn, ripped stained or otherwise unused, collecting dust in the closet.

8.

Refresh closet sachets, or make new ones

Give your cutting boards a good scrub using our all-natural solution, and then oil them up to ensure they’ll last through the next holiday season.

9.

Gather up your unused canned

5.

goods, ill-fitting clothes, outgrown toys, obsolete electronics, and recent gifts you have a feeling you’ll never use and drop them off at the appropriate food banks, charities, thrift stores, or electronic recycling centres 10. To be prepared for tax time (and maybe give yourself a little motivation), clean out your receipt drawer to make room for new receipts.
