Marshmallows & Damper

The kids wanted to go camping last weekend. My husband isn't in to camping and we don't have a tent. So the next best thing was to build a campfire (well, we cheated and used a brazier) and toast marshmallows and make damper. We invited the neighbours to make it more fun. It was a lovely cold afternoon so it was nice to be by the fire eating yummy stuff and drinking red wine. The kids played under lots of blankets, ran around like crazy and had a pretty good time. WE on the other hand were kind of glad when it was all over. I think everyone present will agree we were all happy to tuck the little campers in to bed that night !!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the Loukoumades !!!!

This image is from the net - nice perfect round Loukoumades

Calvins did taste great - the toasted walnuts and honey sprinkled over them was delicious on a chilly winters evening - hopefully your tastebuds can deal with this Vanessa (LOL).

Tonight we are having a camp fire in the backyard with some good friends - toasted marshmallows and singing, should be fun ! Will try and post pictures from that soon too. This is definitely not getting any sewing done - oh well !!!!
