Yesterday the weather promised to be rollkuchen and watermelon worthy. .
so I put a call into the kids. . .
and mixed up some rollkuchen dough in the morning.
It's hard to know whether two year olds remember the typical Mennonite dinner from last summer.
If they forgot. .
they didn't let on.
Rollkuchen. . .with Rogers Syrup for dip .. Crisp Cold Watermelon ..
and Freshly Smoked BBQ'd Farmer Sausage . .
a completely balanced meal.

Kanneloni Macaroni who has a natural inclination to enjoy foods that start in the flour bag. . .
plowed through her first rollkuchen like a pro.
Who says that summer suppers have to start June 21st?
As you can see. . .there are others in the family who like to hold a camera.
I was going to crop myself out. .
but I'm keeping it real.
All for now .. .
That sounds like a perfect summer supper to me!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with keeping it real! :0)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect meal to me...
Who wouldn't love that?!
ReplyDeleteMy mother always made something that looks like your rollkuchen, and we'd dip it in molasses - but then, that's east coast for you!
Mmm - perfect way to enjoy the 'summer' days we've been having this week.
ReplyDeleteOh my...you've got me craving now...BIG TIME!
ReplyDeleteI love this type of meal, Lovella:) Roger's syrup is always a part of a rollkuchen meal here too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos..so glad you didn't crop the one of you..keeping it real is good:)
Hmmm, I think I need to go check my flour bin..I'm with that little gal of yours..grin
That sounds (and looks) so good!!! Can't believe how your grandkids are growing up!!!
ReplyDeleteThe grands have no problem with that kind of meal! They can eat their veggies today. It's a perfect summertime feast.
ReplyDeleteRoger's Golden syrup is the perfect match for rollkuchen. But it is a Canadian product. What do others use?
He's how old? and he's eating with a fork and knife? Isn't it fun to enjoy meals where you don't have to coax the little ones to eat?
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of your precious grands!
Oh.. we ate them with jam as kids . . . and still do for dessert.
ReplyDeleteKeeping it real, as in "everyone in this family knows how to chow down"? ;D I love it and I'm glad that you didn't crop yourself out. We gals are already way too invisible as it is.
ReplyDeleteOh yummmmy...rollkuchen, watermellon, grandkids around the tableand time to enjoy it all.

ReplyDeleteOhh.. I love the family traditions keeping up with the new genenerations!
ReplyDeleteNo child should have to grow up without Roll Kuchen and Rabooze!
I grew up without ever tasting these delicasies, and so have my children. That is another reason I enjoy visiting blogs, because I learn so much. And, by the way...I like how you keep it real on this blog. Someday I hope to taste a meal like this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to start the summer suppers earlier than june 21st! and why not, right? :) Looks like everyone thoroughly enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteSo fun, bringing that good heritage food to our little ones. What a wonderful treat. That's always special. Enjoy a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteIn our home of boys, my mom could never make enough...Roll Kuchen
Summer or not - that's a great looking meal. My kids were never huge watermelon fans - go figure, but Rollkuchen was always a hit. As for farmer sausage - that's one of the basic food groups isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe little ones sure are growing up!
ReplyDeleteI bet next summer they will certainly remember and be asking for more of that rollkuchen!
haha, love how you keep it real! delicious looking dinner. paska i have not attempted, but rollkuchen i have and my husband LOVES it! (who wouldn't?) i saw that watermelons were on sale at the grocery store this week....i'm thinking i might fry us up a batch or two :)
