Must is a must!

Today´s Swedish word: flaska. Means bottle.

We have passed the magic date and it is now less than a month before Christmas! Since I am helping a good friend with her party-for-82-people-after-defending-a-doctoral-thesis-in-chemistry (and boy, will we celebrate!) next Friday I don´t have time to even think about Christmas food, yet. But I can at least buy a bottle of Julmust now and then, to refresh myself in between baking, planning, thinking... for that party. I am not alone in charge, thank God for that, but today I baked 100 of Johanna´s lovely Pink peppercorn and ginger cantuccini. Beside them I will bring the following to Uppsala very early on Friday morning:

  • Bread
  • Red pesto
  • Tapenade
  • Hoummos
  • Dried fruit, roughly chopped, to put on top of Brie cheeses
  • Party clothes, comfy shoes, toothbrush and my very best mood
The thesis-defending (it could be called disputation like in Swedish?) will start 9.00 and continue until 12.00. I don´t think I will understand very much but will give moral support! After that, me and a whole army of friends and family will get to the restaurant where the party will take place and get on cooking the last things for the buffet table, like Anne´s chocolate pots which will be served with a small citrus salad which I still have to invent, and a bulgur salad, and we will have trays of different meats, veg, pies etc. provided by deli counters, other friends and the Doctor-to-be´s Mum. 18.30 the party starts and we will continue eating, dancing and whooping until 2.00 at night. So there. I think I know what I am doing the upcoming days - resting and cooking...

I should think you might need two or three flaska before next Friday with all that cookn'. But then it sounds like a good time will be had by all.

Just a few small updates... The thesis-defending is called "dissertation" in English, it starts at 9.30, and I di apperciate both the ccoking and the moral support very, very much! It´s getting close now... :-)

And obviously I cannot even spell any more... "...I do appreciate the cooking..." seems a bit better.

Those cantucci are wonderful, I received them first as a EBBM item and then made them myself!
Good luck with your friend's dissertation defence - luckily mine is already a history:)

Failure to agree with them is 'heresy'. Failure to behave properly is a 'sin'.
have lost or abandoned religion in the traditional sense by now, or have retained only a tenuous, formulaic connection, or have veered off into various unsatisfying concoctions of "spirituality"....................................
