Arcade Island

 Thought Id show you guys how things are going down on the Swedish countryside. 

My boyfriends family have this awesome place 2 hours outside Stockholm. We decided to go there and grill some things. But first. Breakfast. Always have breakfast. If you dont, you will feel bad or ill all day.

On the countryside you have rye bread with caviar, cold boiled potato and chives. And whole cream with strawberries. AND BLACK COFFEE. YOU SHOULD DRINK IT FROM A PLATE LIKE EMILS DAD BUT I SPILLED TRYING TO DO IT.

Lets move on.

Its unbelievable that boiled potato can stir up such big emotions in me. I guess for every swede. If youve never had this. Boiled new potatoes with dill and butter, you cant die now. You have to try it first.

 Try this while your having the potatoes. Pickled herring. Its so good. Its sweet, a little bit slimy and salt. MATJESILL! Love matjesill, hate tomatosill and currysill. Thats pickled herring with curry. OMG. Can you imagine something worse. 

Eat with red onion, (for Christ sake do not have yellow onion for this!!!!) chives and sour cream.

 

We have the smallest grill. But it was ok. We have it in the city as well, thats why its so tiny! Hej

 Here we are. The mothership. The dinner. We had one mackerel as well but found a parasite in it so. We gave that one to the birds. It felt better. But this little girl, we grilled her. Just with salt and pepper actually. I like it best like that. So you can really feel the taste of the fish.

The beetroots are just boiled, the potatoes and fresh onion are pre-boiled, then grilled, and the zucchini and lemon are just grilled.

THE SAUCE!

JALAPENO AND LIME AIOLI

1 egg yolk

Half a tbsp of dijon mustard

2 dl of neutral oil

1 jalapeno

1 clove of garlic(maybe a bit more, we on the countryside here, you are not going out later)

Juice from half of a lime

Salt and pepper

Whisk the egg yolk with the dijon mustard. Slowly drip the oil in and whisk ALL THE TIME. Whisk and drip. Soon you will have a mayonnaise. Chop the jalapeno but take away the seeds or you will burn in hell. Chop the garlic in so fucking small pieces. Add japaleno, garlic, lime, salt and pepper.

Eat.

My boyfriend taking a stroll on our lands. I love you.
