..leading up to Christmas Swedish style..(Monday 1 PM)
Old traditional Swedish decorations are brought out and arranged..
These people have all now come down from the attic where they have been patiently waiting for so long.Sweating in their russet outfits and long beards during the hot July and August. Dusted and polished they are now where they should be = in the rustic kitchen of a old Gotland farmhouse. (The farm - my sister´s - now includes 6 horses, two sheep, geese, peacocks, hens and chickens, ducks, cats and two dogs.)
One can almost smell the saffron..they are still hot and a bit sticky.. They are made by Mats - my brother-in-law who is an expert baker! (I can almost smell the buns all the way to my home - and quickly I manufacture an "important errand" and off I am to my baking neighbour! I am good at that!) Recipe here.
