Swedish day

Since it was Father's Day we let Eric pick the country that we were going to study that week. He decided to go with with his roots and picked Sweden. 

This was an interesting country to pick things from. There were a lot of things that I knew my family wouldn't touch.. including myself. So I decided to go pretty basic. Since Eric is not a fan of mushrooms I wanted to find a recipe for swedish meatballs that didn't have cream of mushroom soup as a base. After looking into anyhow that is more a short cut version anyway. 

I was pretty successful at making the meatballs too. It is a recipe that I would do again. The boys did pretty good with the meal even with the potatoes involved. 

For dessert I found this cream and custard cake. Since this was back in June I honestly don't remember the name of the cake. I did have to do a few adjustments to it simply because some of the ingredients for the cream inside I didn't have and probably would not have been able to find it around here. It turned out really good and we all enjoyed it even though it was huge!

The last thing we did was play a this memory game. Later I found out its actually danish….oh well ; ) It was a little challenging will Livvy, taking more then one piece and moving the piece around, but we had a pretty fun day!
