Thanksgiving Weekend

For Thanksgiving Day, thursday, hostess Emmy Melander invited the swedish elite to her courts in Rosslyn, for a grand feast. The menu, and working process, is captured below.

Cranberry sauce. Cooked to perfection and served cold.
Johan Lewton chillin on the balcony.

The initial cranberry sauce success did make us quite confident. But before we go any further, eggnog for the guests!

Can you smell it?

Rikard Jungbäck. A slave to gourmet food. Here pealing a ginger for the jams.
The product of Rikards work. The Sweet Potato Marshmallow Jams. In the oven they go!

Starters! Bacon wrapped dates and asparagus. I could eat hundreds of these little suckers.
Johan didnt like them though. He only had 3.
Finally. Dinner time! On the table you see the turkey. Unbelievable perfect and oven roasted by the hostess. You also have the jams, the mashed potatoes, the cranberry sauce, the banana bread and the gravy. Vegetables are for suckers.
I had seconds! So did Jessica.
Dessert! First up is Chocolate Pecan Pie.
Then comes the pumpkin pie
And finally apple pie
And with that, an irish coffee. Do I have something on my face?


After dinner we watched football, I arranged for a quiz, we saw a movie and we sat up talking to four at night.

I think we outdid the americans for this Thanksgiving.

Black Friday was spent shopping. Having dinner at Uno i Georgetown and then going out to 3rd Edition.

Saturday we shopped some more and went out to Madhatter in Dupont Circle. Right after closing, this happened while we were literally next door. They sealed of the entire neighborhood and had us go out the back door.

Today we went to the Woodbury Zoo downtown. We found this wonderful crayfish restaurant in Adams Morgan. Letting you choose crayfish sorts, spice, and level of spicing and then mxing everything in a plastic bag that is served to you on a paper table cloth and with lots of napkins. Messy, juicy and delicisious. Hot n Juicy Crayfish Bar for yall peeps!

I just came home from the movies. Me, Joakim and Johan saw My week with Marilyn. It was ok.

I hope you had a great week. My grandfather turned 75. Grattis morfar!

Let me know whats going on!
