Rachel and I spent a lovely evening in Strömstad with our hostess, Madeleine, and several of her friends who meet regularly to work on their knitting and other needlework projects. We were both novices, but after some good instruction and a LOT of concentration, we managed to crochet a few square inches each!
We also paused during the evening for coffee and smörgås, which is a wonderful Swedish institution. Smörgås is basically an open-faced sandwich that you construct from your preferred combinations of bread, butter, cheese, jam, cucumbers, bell pepper strips, tomatoes, thinly sliced meat, etc. One of the specialties on this particular night was a sort of homemade preserve made from chantarelle mushrooms. Yum!
