Oh, wow! Am I glad that I asked to be on your Swedish ping list right before Christmas!

I just finished making loads of cookies, including Pepparkakor, and tomorrow we shall make our own Potates Korv in a sausage maker. It is delicious!

My older sister will be bringing the Sill and Bullar, and younger sister will bring the Limpa and I will be making Rice Pudding for our Christmas Eve feast.

My Mom's parents came from Varmland (her Mom was originally from the far north) in 1908, and my Dad's parents came from Varmland in the early 1880's.

(And nobody makes Korv as good as we do! :)

Rawr! If me and my family weren't still Swedes and had this big pond (the Atlantic) blocking our way, we'd challenge you to a julkorv duel! My father is a julkorv grand master, having been trained by his mother - a very traditional farmer's wife who made use of everything the farm produced to make magic things happen in the kitchen.

Unfortunately I don't have more time to brag about my family's julbord now. It's -26 celsius (-15 fahrenheit) outside, but I still have to drive the 100 kilometers (62 miles) to my fathers place. brrr
