swedish midsummer

in singapore!

when i was visiting my canadian cousin in dublin last summer, it so happened that she'd a friend she knew from college, T, in town at the same time. this summer, T came to singapore to work at the womens' and children hospital for a month (he's a paediatrician) and we managed to catch up! incidentally, T is swedish-canadian. he was born in stockholm but emigrated to canada as a kid. as a sort of farewell to the friends he's made in singapore, he threw a swedish midsummer party, albeit a week late. it was my first introduction to swedish food and T really went to town with herring in mustard, herring in dill, dry bread, smoked salmon with gravalax, swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce, liver pate, caviar from a tube and swedish sweets. we blasted abba (swedish music!) and bopped around decked out in yellow and blue.

totally psyched :)
