Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Mindy you are welcome to join us..... Thank you . We love picnics. Often when the temps are nice, we eat at our patio table outside. We even have lights for under the umbrella on our table, so we can enjoy being out there after dark with friends. Citronella candles keep bugs away nicely. I love the sounds of nature and enjoy being outside in it. Judy - Mindy-n-Shawn Monday, May 05, 2008 3:13 PM Re: cookouts and picnics Judy, I want to come to your next cookout. Sounds like you make some wonderful food. Yummy!!

They come in cans, so you can open them when you get to your bon fire and either put them on a metal prongs over the fire or grill them. If at home, you could just pour the veggie hotdogs, broth and all in to a pan and cover. Bring to a boil and turn off the burner. .They are very good. > > We love the veggie hot dogs, taken from the can and just slice them up in some Bush Vegetarian Baked beans and heated.
