yum! i have always wanted to make my own trail mix, but haven't tried to yet. i am *always* picking out things in trail mix that i buy, especially since you never know how old the bagged stuff is. last year i cracked my tooth on a super-hard brazil nut and had to get a root canal. $1200 later....

For our backyard family picnic I wanted something light.

French bread smeared with warm Havarti cheese
Salad:Romaine,corn,avocado,watermelon,and a light Balsamic vinagrette.
Sauteed the shrimp in extra virgin olive oil,sea salt,pepper,and lemon juice.(I had more shrimp than that,but it was stolen off my plate before I photographed it)
Served with Rum and Coca-cola,which I am now hearing the song for repeatedly in my head.

Bonfire place in our garden:



Simple stuff but it's a fun way to cook:



We can also choose to sit on these, the branches are for "snobrød" bread:



Potatos and meat:



Snobrød and hotdogs:



You can also put the hotdog on the stick first and twist the dough around it which we've done too.

what is "Snobrød" ?

 

[Lillemor]

what is "Snobrød" ?

Bread on a stick?!!!:eusa_doh: lol Well, you prepare a basic dough which you divide into the number of sections of snobrød you want to make. Then you roll each section long and wrap it around a thin branch, preferably covered with foil. You can stick a hotdog on first and then roll the dough around that. Then you bake it over the open fire evenly on all sides, regulary turning it. If it's well done, it comes off the stick easily. If it's not well done, it sticks and is a pain to get off and you have huge lumps of unbaked dough on the stick

It's a matter of trial and error. There have been more failures than successes for me with snobrød baking in my lifestimelol Hub mastered it at first attempt. I really hate that!

This is a coconut cake I made. It tastes really nice!

I mostly like making cakes and other puddings. I'm trying to get into more "food" cooking instead of just sweet pudding stuff!

I have a "dry" coconut cake recipe but I've only made it once. I love to cook but strangely I hate baking.

That looks great and I love your backyard.

Snobrød and hotdogs:

Here is another yummy alternative to a Snobrod. They are called Jam Twists. Instead of putting the hotdog in the center you put a dab of butter and fill it all the way to the top with your favorite jelly :essen: :essen:

Hot Milk Sponge Cake & Strawberries

I just took the Hot Milk Sponge Cake out of the oven and it actually came out light & fluffy this time instead of all gummy & flat.....a wonderful yummy Saturday night dessert.

The soup looks great, but look at that plate!

 

[Vintage Betty]

Bump!

Thanks for all the compliments! The dishes were our wedding set; we didn't find any china we liked and people LOVED purchasing $50 set of dishes! They said they actually felt they were purchasing a worthwhile gift, instead of 1 plate. lol You are all welcome to come over for some chiken soup! Yummmmmmmmm :essen:
