Good morning!
And sorry for the abscense yesterday, but I started off so early travelling with car 2 hours and then flying 1.5 hour and then by train for 1 hour, so I wasn´t home until 16.00 in the afternoon. Then I had to take a quick shower, go buy my mum some midsummer flowers and hurry to her home to celebrate midsummer with the family.
Mum had made new picked potatoes, herring, chive, sourcream, bread and cheese, which are the typical midsummer things to eat. For me, as the vegetarian, she had made a super good pie filled with angle pod and spinach. It was delicious!
To drink, the tradition is to have a "snaps" and to take them with a snapsvisa, which is a song to sing before saying: Skål!
Since I was the driver, I said Skål in sparkling water. It works equally good;=)
For dessert, we ate strawberries, which also are very typical midsummer food and to that whipped cream and coffee.
It was a great evening and when we came home we had some strawberries dipped in white chocolate and then it was time for watching some Two and a half men before sleeping.
Oh I'm glad you had a nice day =)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah Two and a half men <3 ;)
Hope you will celebrate your birthday tomorrow =)

Best wishes, Ryan.

And already a Happy Birthday for 2morrow! ;)

I'm glad you had a nice time Anette! =)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.

Good morning :-)
ReplyDeletesounds like you had a very nice day. I hope the weather was fine. Here in Germnay we also celebrate anything like that Midsummer fest. We make big fires and then we have lots of fun. Another custom of the solstice is the beating disc. While these burnt disc roll down the hillside much like a shooting star, the person making the cut has to rhyme something about somebody who is away. And then we drink a lot of snaps and beer :-)
And today the weather is brilliant. Hope in Sweden too.
So have a nice day. CU
I am happy that you had a nice time!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Love
