Nothing like an outdoor "mug--up" on a sunny March day......

By now, I'm just about done with winter.  Then a day like yesterday comes along..........Sunny, lots of fresh fallen snow, snowshoes and a group of people who haven't really been outside, for any extended period of fresh air and sunshine, in months.

A few quick phone calls, snowshoes and backpacks brought in from the garage, and we're ready to roll!!  It's amazing how much stuff can go in a backpack.  Besides the usual fare of red wines, cheeses, crackers, and chocolates, don't forget the true Newfoundland and Labrador delicacies like bologna, beans, toutons, smoked capelin and homemade bread for toasting on the open fire.  One thing for sure, we don't take this little "cup of tea" in the woods lightly!

After the fire burned down a bit, the old grill was secured over the fire, then a few roasted smoked capelin were enjoyed as the main appetizer..........

 Then,of course, the beans and wieners......

 We re-heated some pan-fried toutons........

 Grilled some beef bologna and moose bologna.....

 Toasted up some homemade bread....

and steeped some tea.....

 does it get any better than this???

Cheers
