We also stayed home.. Vilde was home with us so we didn't want to go out and risk him getting hysterical when the fireworks start. We had a lovely evening.
I made dinner.. Whole porkfile, which i cut in half lengtwise, spread apart and whacked to an even size and put mozarella, crispy bacon, onion, garlicsoftcheese, fresh basil and a little sundried tomatoes on. Wrapped together in bacon. Fried around it to give color and then into the oven. Added creme fraiche, whipped cream, tomatoepaste, soysauce, spices, garlic to it as a sauce to cook in.
Served with hasselbackspotatoes . That is potatoes that are sliced but not all the way through.. based with butter a few times and topped off with breadcrumbs and salt and another drop or two of butter.. I started with these and then the meat went in along side.
Green beans (boiled) with some garlic butter on if needed. Cucumber also.
It was very appriciated by all three of us. We skipped dessert and just had a little chips/crisps when we watched a movie together. And had a bite or two of my home made bountys (coconutcaramel dipped in chocolate).
At midnight we shared a few glasses of Asti Cinzano (cheapo bubbly but i love it) and watched the fireworks.
