Yesterday afternoon we were invited for barbque at Nina's friend Lina's house. Their history goes back many years. I reckon they originally met during the year Nina lived in Lindesberg and went for a year to the Lindesberg middle school. They have kept a close relationship ever since.
Lina, her mother, Jane, and the rest of her family are from a small town east of here named Spannarböda. They live on a farm just on the edge of an old forest. It takes about 30 min to drive there from Kurt's house in Lindesberg. Here is a photo of the group dining.
Dinner was especially wonderful because of the great food Mrs. Fürsth made. We had marinated moose (elj) meat plus seasoned potatoes, a cole-slaw, fresh baked bread, marinated eggplant, two flavored butters, a herb sauce, potato salad, and ice cream with strawberries for dessert. The moose meat comes from a local hunting club that offers meat to select people with relations to the club. Very good. Not very gamey or wild tasting. One of my favorite shots of the night is of Lina, a vegetarian, grilling moosemeat on the barbque pit and giving us lessons on the cooking of meat. Ironic?
Because Lina and her family grew up on a farm there are naturally a lot of animals. Because of the rain we met no barnyard critters but we did meet Agge the dog, 3 full grown cats, 2 guinea pigs, and a litter of newborn baby kittens. Nina said at one point that it was like a petting zoo... and of course we all had a blast with the animals. Here are a few shots of the animal action. 
What a fun afternoon. Thank you to Jane and Lina for being great hosts.
