It's been a while since the first of these announcements, so for those
who deleted it the first time, here it is again. Directions on how
to get to Ground Zero will be included in the last of these annoucements,
which will go out a few days before the event.
You are invited to the third annual Alex's Swedish Christmas Eve
dinner, on the evening of thursday Dec. 24th. I would recommend
arriving around 6:30. This year's event will be unique, as it 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
