66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?

I'm afraid not. We have dual birthday parties this weekend, the relatives today and 4-year olds tomorrow. Spent most of yesterday preparing for that.

Also made the first batch of genuine Swedish autumn food, boiled soused (?) hand of pork with "root mash".

Turnips are in season now and root mash (rotmos) is like mashed potatoes only it consists mainly of turnips with some potatoes and carrots with a little vegetable stock and a tablespoon of butter. It is really tasty and the kids love it. The hand of pork is "rimmad", injected with brine, don't know what that's called in english. You buy it that way and then boil it with a couple of quartered onions, some bay leaf and a few pepper corns, white pepper and allspice.

Anyway, it mostly involves boiling but the rotmos takes a little while to prepare with all the peeling, chopping and then mashing. I always make a pretty large batch. The kids really stuff it in and it's nice to have enough for two meals when you put the effort in.

So that kept me busy yesterday.

I'm planning on going out to visit Per (Djakken) tomorrow if Sofia's birthday party doesn't drain me. six 4-yo:s can do that ...
