Crawfish |
We were all in the spirit, ready for that most
intriguing of Swedish traditions.
The table was set, ready for this year's Kräftskiva
(crawfish party)!
The plate of crawfish (kräftor) tempted our tummies!
Sandra makes sure to remind us all of her favorite
part - snaps of Akvavit!
Most important component of a Kräftskiva -
Absolut Vodka!
Bertil is ready to sing snapsvisor (Swedish
drinking songs)!
He is very enthusiastic about drinking songs, as you
can tell.
A rousing rendition of classic drinking song
Helan Går ensued, followed by snaps
(shots)!
Is that all the aquavit I get?
Leif will drink to that! Skål!
Skål!
And they're off! Anna leads the charge by
consuming mass quantities of crawfish.
Grandma is clearly enjoying her shrimp and crawfish!
I would say that Sandra had a good time, or what do
you think?
