happy 4th
Today, people from France, Norway, Germany, and the UK got together with a small group of Americans in Denmark to celebrate American Independence Day in the most traditional of ways!
There were burgers, hot dogs, BBQ sauce, Heinz ketchup, Budweiser, lemonade, Ben & Jerry's, and of course, S'mores...
This being Denmark, they were served smørrebrød-style (open faced). We used Marie biscuits instead of graham crackers and pålægschokolade, instead of Hershey's big bars.
As a vegetarian, I generally opt out of marshsmallow eating, but curiosity got the better of me so I had a little taste and found them to be softer with much more vanilla flavor than I recall of American marshmallows.
It's light here until around 11 PM and it's a school night for expats, so alas, there were no fireworks, but it was nice to observe this summer tradition among friends from the other side of the pond.

Sounds like a great get together. That Euro S'more looks tasty. I'll bet the Marshmallows are made with better ingredients than the US version. Sometimes I splurge on quality Marshmallows at Whole Foods, otherwise I avoid them.
Our Fireworks start in about 4 hours. Last night we were on the Freeway around 9pm, and saw many Fireworks Displays while driving home.
No corn syrup :)
I really missed the smell of fireworks, but I don't think Opie seemed to mind...lol!

lol, no doubt that Opie dearly misses his former home - but not the Fireworks!
