S
nippets: enough about COVID-19 and the implications on the estate. Let’s share some other information our members need to know of. Residents remain accountable for their gardeners and domestic workers who are registered on the access control system. If they have left your service, you are requested to advise Security, failing which means that you are still allowing them access onto the estate. Feeding of animals in the game reserve is strictly prohibited. We have three official feeding sites. Should you wish be part of the process, then you may contact the Operations Department to identify new areas and ensure an even spread of the feeding areas. Feeding of wrong food affects
their immune system, resulting in deaths. Do you get emails but no smses? If so, please contact Leandré Mavis, our Resident Liaison Officer at info@silverlakes.co.za to update your personal information. The same applies if you get a sms but no emails. There are no rule currently that prohibits cycling on trails in the game reserve. Residents are requested to be cautious and show courtacy when cycling. Café 41 offers a service for 6-8 people, using your own menu whilst being your chef at home. Contact them for more information. Dogs are not allowed to be walked in the game reserve, not even on a leash. Residents in Phase 3 are allowed to walk
their dogs in the tarred roads, but nowhere else in Phase 3. Ensure that your dog and specifically cats are tagged. A cat without a tag will be considered as a stray cat. Have you been checking out the website? If not please visit the website at www. silverlakes.co.za Trees outside a property may not be removed without the official permission of the Environmental Committee. The Country Club will soon announce the introduction of more clubs and events that will start, subject to strict protocols. Permission needs to be obtained by the
HOA for any permanent structure before being installed. Please do not accept the word of a contractor, advising you that a carport or cover needs to permission by the HOA. Penalties will be issued and if it does not comply with the Rules, it will be requested to be removed. Tree houses or doll houses need permission from the HOA and may not be viewed from the street or golf course. When not sure, please contact the HOA. We wish you all of the best during the last month of winter. Keep well and keep safe! Regards HENK BOOYSEN CEO

https://www.loveandlemons.com/spring-salad/#wprm-recipe-container-47647
11
WHAT YOU NEED: • 1 bunch asparagus, tender parts, chopped into 1-inch pieces • ½ cup frozen peas, thawed • A few handfuls of salad greens • 2 radishes, thinly sliced • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese • ½ avocado, pitted and diced • ¼ cup chopped, toasted pistachios • ½ cup roasted chickpeas • Fresh herbs, for garnish (basil, mint and/or chives) • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper • Dressing • ¼ cup fresh basil or a mix of basil and mint • 1 small garlic clove • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus ½ teaspoon zest • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as desired • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
RECIPE OF THE MONTH:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and set a bowl of ice water nearby. Blanch the asparagus for about 1 minute, until tender but still bright green. Transfer to the ice water for 1 minute, then drain. Allow the asparagus to dry and transfer it back to the bowl and add the peas. 2. Make the dressing: In a food processor, pulse together the herbs, garlic, lemon juice, zest, vinegar, olive oil, and salt. 3. Add half of the dressing to the bowl with the asparagus and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. Assemble the salad. Arrange the salad greens on a platter, then layer the asparagus/pea mixture, the radishes, feta, avocado, pistachios, chickpeas, and herbs. Drizzle with remaining dressing, season to taste with more salt and pepper, and serve.
