Sunday Dinner

I want to or preface this post by telling you that I saw a moose a couple of days ago. In this next picture,  it's a little hard to see but there is a baby moose as well.  "Mama" is on the left side and "baby" is on the right.

Now, on to Sunday dinner. It is a custom at my Cousin Tommy's house for the family to get together on Sunday for late afternoon dinner. Today we ate with two of their sons, Daniel & Carl, Larry, Gina, Tommy, Eva and myself.

Guess what we had??   MOOSE!!

Wow, was that good!   It tasted like a real tender cut of beef. I felt kinda bad but I got over it pretty quick. Eva made a gravy that was to die by for. It had a red wine and some cognac in it and she served it with Chantrell mushrooms. The rest of the menu was new potatoes, broccoli and parsnips (I got the recipe for those)  To top it off,  she made an apple pie with delicious tangy red Swedish apples.

After dinner, everybody went different directions and Larry and I went out to the town square to see what was going on. It was deader than a "door nail".  As is the luck of the Irish, (and Swedes) we happen on to a little Irish pub. We went in for a wine and beer and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.  Here are some pictures of O'Leary's.

I have been staying about 15 miles out of Kalmar at a little B&B. I finally took some pictures of it and I am posting them on facebook today because even simple pictures are a trial today. I have decided to use this as my homebase for the next couple weeks.  It's about $250 per week. Cheaper than Motel 6.   It's a short bus ride in to town. Larry has the use of a car but gas is $8/gal. We're conserving where we can.  Check out the pictures.

I'm going to call it a night.  Have a nice day!
