Cooking from a different book
Judith has a much loved Disney storybook, half of which is given over to a story about a picnic planned by Minnie but executed by all of the super six.
There has been much talk about all 55 pages of that story, and much reading, and today, we finally made the meal described ourselves: hotdogs in buns with ketchup and mustard, corn on the cob, lemonade and fruit salad. There's not a lot of preparation in the mains, and I mostly did that, but the fruit salad and lemonade are explained in detail, and the lemonade in particular is a bit more work.
The fruit salad is blueberries, watermelon and pineapple, I did the chopping, she did the mixing, and it was much appreciated.
The lemonade contains both lemon and lime juice, and also cocktail cherries, which was a surprisingly good idea, I'm not sure it will ever be a regular feature on our table, but it was delicious.(ALso, another new recipe for me, so if I run out of ideas by day 7, might get counted in 7 days, 7 recipes challenge, even though it's a bit cheaty as Judith did the work.)
