We have plenty of celebrations we forgot about this year. So we did it all in one weekend. Living together for 25 years, 10 years of them married. 10 years since dear beloved hubby's bypass operation and 5 years since my throat cancer treatments, and I was declared cancer free 2 years ago.
So this is another Swedish entrée, normally a toast but as I have to avoid eating too much carbs because of my diabetes I opted for the bread. Here I give you the Öjebytoast.
It is made with crayfish tails, Swedish , caraway seeds, homemade mayonnaise, zest of a lemon, fresh dill and a dash of aquavit.
A very nice change to the usual Toast Skagen, as it is crayfish season now in the end of summer.

Swedish home cooking, a traditional dish. Sjömansbiff, mariners beef. A dish that I really hated in my teens and thus make once two or three years. I don't dislike it because of the taste, it was just made too often. About every third weekday. It consists of layers of potatoes and pan seared beef with onions. A broth made of spices, stock and beer poured over and cooked in the oven. I normally cook the beef slices through in the broth to make them really tender before I layer them with the spuds.

The chanterelle toast. Foraged chanterelles and red onions butter fried. Piled high on top of a piece of butter fried wholemeal toast and caramelised Swedish . Crushed black pepper and red Himalayan salt together with fresh tarragon leaves.

Eggs and bacon. An eggcellent breakfast. Sometimes I do like I was taught to, not only minding dear beloved hubby's dietary restrictions. This is a real omelette with cream as it should be. Salt in so the eggs get better incorporated yolks with whites. Not quite crispy bacon. Rather nice, and I may say so.

Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Noir 2022
Pinot noirs are not quite my thing, they're too light but this one is slightly oaked and has more substance. This is a Chilean red wine just a bit on the purple side with medium tannins. Cranberries, black sour cherries with an edge of liquorice.
I like to pair Pinot noirs with Salmon and this one was an excellent pairing. Pairs well with wild fowl, pastadishes and savoury nibbles.

The best thing about meatballs. The couple of the leftovers. A meatball sandwich. Finnish sourdough rye, homemade mayonnaise, meatballs and some lingonberries. I always like some mustard on my sandwiches with homemade meatballs. And it has to be on top of the meatballs, so it's not very photogenic. For this I only use our secret family recipe handed down to the fifth generation. It makes your hair stand.

Pyttipanna, the ultimate dish to use leftovers in. Although this was made from scratch except for the leftover boiled potatoes from the other day. Crispy fried potatoes, onions and sausage. Rather a baloney or mortadelle sausage. Cooked so you can eat it straight away. But this was fried with the potatoes. Served with a fried egg sunny side up,and with crispy lacy edges.
