My Easter Celebrations & Campfire Bread

Happy Easter Everyone! Where-ever you are.
















Tomorrow my Easter guests are arriving. Children, grandchildren and friends from near and far. They are going to stay for 10 days. If the weather is reasonable, we are going to spend as much time as possible outdoors, doing ice-fishing every day, (fishing through holes cut in the ice).

A Swedish Easter lunch table is traditionally laid like a "smörgåsbord" - consisting of cured salmon, different varieties of pickled herring and boiled eggs. Since we'll prepare wilderness lunches, we are not going to devote so much time to food.

Maundy Thursday, the children will dress up as Easter witches and go from house to house in our neighbourhood, giving away Easter drawings in the hope of getting sweets and money in return. Easter witches are not mean and scary at all. They are cute. Easter Eve, the children are given large Easter eggs filled with yet more candies. All those sweets usually result in a great loss of appetite.

This bread is called 'glödkaka' (ember bread) in Swedish. Probably the easiest campfire bread to make. If we are lucky, we'll be able to roast fish too to go with the bread.
