                                         canopy!  Shortly  after,  we  started  to  prepare
                                         supper. night one supper was “dakgalbi”, a spicy
                                         chicken meal. My hubby prepared the meat the
                                         night before at home, so we just had to dump it
                                         into a tinfoil dish and cook on the BBQ. It was so
                                         good! In addition to the chicken and spicy sauce,
          we added sweet potato, carrot, onion, and cabbage.


             We sat in anticipation waiting for our friends to try dakgalbi for the first time. SUCCESS!
          They loved it so much, they even ate the left overs for a snack later that night.We also made
          rice to eat with the dakgalbi. I find that I can’t eat too much rice with this dish, because the
          chicken and veggies are so filling and this was just so good.


                                            later that night, when it was time for a snack,
                                         being Canadian, I obviously roasted Timbits.You
                                         are probably wondering how I came up with the
                                         idea to roast timbits. a couple of years ago, when
                                         we moved to our new house, we were having a
                                         bonfire.  We  were  searching  for  something,
          anything, to roast, to keep our then 2-year-old entertained. I found a box of timbits that had
          been in the car for a couple of days, on the counter. If you’ve ever had day old timbits, you’ll
          know they aren’t that great. So, what did we have to lose? The sugar on the Timbit
          caramelizes, and takes on smoky campfire amazingness. I’m leading the roasted timbit
          campaign, it will catch on.


             Meanwhile, my husband opted for a more Korean snack. I don’t think he could ever
          even contemplate going camping without Shin Ramyun.He boiled the noodles in a pot on
          the Coleman. our friends loved the noodles too by the way.


             The next morning, our friends cooked us normal Canadian food: Hashbrowns, bacon,
          eggs, and toast. My husband managed to make that into a weird combination of a breakfast
          sandwich. Toast with bacon, eggs, ketchup, and maple syrup. The first time I went on a
          picnic with my mother in law, she brought “sandwiches”. They were ham, egg, strawberry
          jam, ketchup, mayo and cucumber. I was definitely weirded out. But eventually came to
          enjoy the monstrosity.
