I just waved off some girlfriends who came for a soup and a chat and a a cake. This was not to celebrate my blog in any way (even though the counter just ticked over 15 000 visits and it turns 1 year on Tuesday!) but in another way this was truly a blog dinner since I had a lot of blogger inspiration! At first I didn´t plan a three-course meal but then we had boiled potatoes the other day and they just - ahem - was a little too boiled so there I was with quite a few mushy potatoes. What to do? Well, I could always try Pille´s potato shortcrust in my new 24-hole mini muffin tin! I jumped to the task and the recipe was wonderful as I had guessed, dear Pille knows her finger-food!
For filling them I turned to another food-blogger for inspiration and decided to try Anne´s funnel chanterelle dip which was lovely. I had some mushrooms lying around after my trip to the forest yesterday... It is the ones with the red flakes on, I thought they needed some decoration and went for pink pepper which was a lovely companion to the mild mushroom and cheese. In the other half of the canapées I put a classic Swedish mix (recipe found in Bonniers kokbok)of egg, boiled potato (not all of them were mushy), matje herring, chives, dill and creme fraiche which also was lovely Update: Oh! I forgot that I also put in a very finely diced apple! Essential for giving this mix some freshness and balance.... And I am above all very pleased with this photo, it looks really good while most of my photos looks like - well, you can see what the food looks like but maybe you won´t feel like eating it...
For the main course I made the Swedish-French fish soup from my blog dinner this January, with fake aioli and home made baguette, and for dessert I made the fantastic beetroot cake with saffron glaze.
Over and out! I have a lot of dishes to take care of tomorrow...

I'm so glad to hear that you liked the potato shortcrust, Clivia. I bet they were nice with the mushroom filling..
I must try your beetroot cake soon - I'm really intrigued how it'd taste!
Yum! Sounds like a great menu!
Here's another interesting way to cook potatoes. I'd claim to have invented it but anyone who read Upsala Nya Tidning on 15/2/03 would know better.

Pille, it was really perfect. So easy to work with and yes, perfect with the mushroom filling! Good luck with the beetroot cake, it is delicious but actually not very beetroot-tasting. But the batter is bright red!
Anne, it was!
Steve, that sounds good too. I might try it next time I overcook my potatoes.
