Sausage in Bread- We do sausage sizzles for anything in Australia - Schools, Fund raising, parties, BBQ's - for anything basically because it is cheap... Cook sausages (these are chicken ones) place in sliced bread with tomato sauce - A Poor Mans Hot Dog!

Thanks for showing all of us in the U.S. what you eat for fun Australian food. I love the fairy bread, how easy and cute. We love the movie A Fairy Tale, that would be a sweet treat to munch while watching the movie.

Bobbie, I LOVE your blog! So fun & inspiring to read.
We are actually living right in Nauvoo (in Illinois). It is a little bit in the middle of nowhere, but yes, there are lots of small and medium sized towns nearby, and bigger ones, like Chicago & St Louis, not too far. When did you come to the pageant? Was it in the last three years, since the new one was created?
