Our group of friends had not seen each other in quite a while (and the weather was just perfect) so we decided to make some "Hühnerbraten". That is a Mennonite dish where you stew some home grown chickens outside in a big iron skillet (not sure if you call it that in english).
We went to our friends place who live on a farm. They have one cow that they milk for their own fresh milk and this cow had adopted two little calf's. While we were there I went to check this out and as you can see in the photo, all three calf's are suckling at the same time. It was so adorable.
This is how it looked in the beginning.
And this is the finished product. It is accompanied with Yuca, Salad and rolls.
Then on Wednesday we celebrated my friend Uschi´s birthday.
All in all a great week.
I´ll be joining the rest of the gang at Java´s for Follow Friday again. Check it out here.

Looks like a great time. Those calfs are cute!
Looks like a fun time!
It sounds like a fun time. I haven't seen one of those large black pots in years! My in-laws used to have one.
Sat by the smoke- LOL That's just like the oyster roasts we host!
Y'all know how to enjoy life Betty!
Looked and sounded like a great get together. I think it's time to have a friend get together here before the winter sets in. Thank you for the idea.
Take care Betty and have a great weekend.
Time with good friends is always the best!
Good photo of the cow with the calves!
Looks like you all know how to have a great time with food and fellowship! Those are cherished moments! I wonder why the dish is called "Braten" when the chickens have been stewed and not roasted. So once the chickens are done, they are taken out, then de-boned and put back into the pot? Just curious here!
Sure sounds delicious!!!
Great shot of the milk guzzling trio! The mama looks content. Some folks who don't drink milk do say that milk is only for baby calves and not for humans! Quite enjoy milk with cereal.
Have a great week-end!
It's great to have good friends who you can get together with and always be there for each other. Friends are truly angels.
Have a fabulous weekend. Stopping by from Friday Blog hop on Never GRowing Old.

It looks so fun and delicious, Betty! Nothing beats time spent with friends (and/or family)! Hope the fun continues this weekend!
LOL, Betty, I let my imagination run so when you said stewing chickens, I was wondering if you put the live chickens in to cook like lobster is cooked, but then I saw your picture of the chickens cooking. It sounded like an interesting dish; I bet it does taste good! I think it is soo neat you have that group of friends; I know I said that before, but it is just neat to have a group like that to hang out with and do fun things like this with! Cute picture with the cow and calves!
have a great weekend!
betty
Now that's whatI call a back yard cookout! I looks delicious and fun.
