This is a unique opportunity. The third annual Alex's Swedish
Christmas Eve dinner, on the evening of thursday Dec. 24th, will be
graced by the presence of a native Swede - my dad. Come watch us sing
Swedish drinking songs while eating all the usual good food.
The menu, with internet-standard scandinavian character equivalents:
Ost & sill: numerous cheeses, crackers, and various variants of herring,
with various sauces.
Smaavarmt: small spicy meatballs and the best new potatos I can find.
Skinka & Mayonnaes: ham and home-mademayonnaise. Maybe replaced with
roast-beef with my traditional cream sauce.
Jansson's Frestelse: thinly sliced very light potato and cream dish,
spiced with onion and optional anchovies. If I were Jansson I would
have succumbed to this temptation.
Kinuski: Cream-based taffy. Derived from the russian verb tyagnuty, to pull.
It is not too early to make plans to come. RSVP by email or phone,
628-3988.
Greetings,
- Alex
