No, it's not the Muppets ... but instead the Leahy family was busy this week preparing for the Swedish supper. Every year for the holidays, we look forward to fixing a Swedish meal using recipes passed down the family tree. This year, we decided to share this culinary delight with our neighbors. Beforehand we fed the kids pizza (not Swedish but a nod to Scott's Italian roots) and then the adults sat down to a nice dinner with all the trimmings. While different than the usual American fare, it's nice to step outside the box and fix a meal that's pleasing to the palate with a different combination of flavors. Those Swedes really like to incorporate potatoes and sweets! The favorites of the meal were the potatis korv (potato sausage made by our neighbor James)and the ostkaka (almond cheesecake) with lingonberries. What a treat to live (and eat) like Swedes for the night!
