- Bake until toasty warm with a crackling fire
- Finish with a splash of salt air
As a follow up to this recipe, one reader suggested I add:
ReplyDelete"One slice of cranberry orange bread and a cup of tea. Another optional ingredient for the recipe might include: sharing with one friend (I would be happy to fill this ingredient option!)"
I should have also thought to add an umbrella, because not long after we got the fire going it began to rain. True Oregon Coasters though, we just grabbed an umbrella and continued enjoying the warmth of the fire.
