Thinking of Sweden - Köttbullar

Swedish Meatballs, mashed potatoes, & lingonberries


Today's Name Day: Amalia, Amelie


    Great day.  Had lunch plans but they have been moved to another day.  So I got a long nap.  Already dressed & had my makeup on.  Worked good.

    Supper was at the Happy Swede with JR.  They posted a photo of what was their special for the day.  Swedish meatballs with mashed potatos & lingonberries.  Köttbullar.  I told them what they fixed was as good as I had in Sweden.  A guy I am friends with came in to eat & I told him how good they were.  After he ate his comment to me was "Yust like being in the old country!"  Mine to him was "Ya sure, ya betcha!"  The best I have had in the US other than at an IKEA.  There is another place in town that fixes them too.  They are sort of OK but not quite true Swedish.  I told Happy Swede that everytime they serve them I will be there.  And they are like being in Sweden.  Might be as close to Sweden I ever get again.  My heart is always in Sweden.  Always.

    JR & I sat to chat for a long time.  We discussed movies & music.  Old movies & 60s music.  I am out of donuts so he ran in to get me another package of them.  Mmmmmm.

    Stayed pretty cool last night & cooler tonight.  Good for sleeping,  Cinder eventually came to sleep with me.  And she was in for my nap also..

    Photos tonight are from the Happy Swede.  Many little nooks & crannies with neat stuff to shoot.  I missed one but will get it next time.

                                


My plate as I started to eat.  Must always have lingon on the meat balls whether in Sweden or here





Wall mural painted on. Cool.





Some of my ancestors are from Värmland in Sweden.
