A Month of Birthdays






Hol's birthday at the end of November - that is
a cheesecake with lingon berries in it. Check out the pan it is in - this fits directly into the oven (it doesn't have to sit on a shelf). Ovens come with one of these pans, 6 flat cookie sheets, and one rack like we find in our ovens in Canada.

Posted by PicasaJ's birthday was in the middle of the month - he chose to have a very different cake from anything we have ever had before. It is a
smörgåstorte - a savory cake that used to be served to the nobility. Jan's grandmother used to make them. For the cake part, you layer crustless white bread with a paste of a canned fish similar to tuna and sour cream or creme fraiche. The white "icing" is whipped cream (no sugar) and the whole thing is decorated with fruit and vegetables, shrimp, and hard boiled eggs.

















E's birthday was at the beginning of the month and Hol made this a combination Halloween BDP. We had pumpkin carving and roasted pumpkin seeds, chili and hotdogs by a bonfire and many people dressed up - lots of fun.
