Home-made pop tarts, pretzel sticks and a lovely blog friend

Look at the lovely parcel that arrived for me - I took part in prudence puddleducks's guess who post, and after some digging around I guess right! This little gift popped through my door soon after! Thank you so much

At the weekend we had people over for the superbowl so there were many things being cooked (forgot to photo them all!) Here were the first things - pretzel sticks. Recipe here I have only just found a beautiful mess and now I am hooked - it is a lovely blog - go and have a visit.

They didn't brown very much but they tasted delicious!

I also made pop tarts - again I am not a fan of measuring pastry for hours so I made mini round pop tarts. I did 2 fillings, chocolate and marshmallow and cinnamon. They were really nice, something I will be doing again. Recipe here

Did you do anything for the superbowl?

Superbowl

So every year Many goes round to a friends to watch the superbOwl (as it has been re-named by one of our friends) this year he suggested having it at ours. Perfect excuse for bunting I hear you say! Correct - I made 3 lots!! We made LOADS of food - far too much in fact! Below is my pretzels - I was happy with them and I think they went down quite well!

I made salt and pepper pretzels, sesame seed and poppy seed pretzels and paprika ones too! I thought you might like to see a quick picture of everyone tucking in to some of the food! Here they all are - sorry for the poor picture but everyone was concentrating on the picture so it was impossible to get one where someone wasn't moving!

It was a very good evening (and early morning - work the next day was a bit of a challenge!) so much so that I am going to watch the american football when it comes to wembley in October!
