Norene, Christine and Me

The first photo I want to share is of the Saffron Rolls that Norene baked for us for Christmas. These are wonderful, and wish I had some now. Norene just found the photo and shared it with me today.

Norene's light-as-a-feather saffron rolls made for Swedish Christmas Eve Feast.

This along with lutfisk, Swedish meatballs, potato sausage, potatoes, mashed rutebages, cream gravy, pickled herring and, of course, lots of wonderful Christmas cookies along with Rice Pudding and Lingonberries make for a perfect Christmas Eve!

Then today, my daughter Christine went to Norene's to make her first Swedish Strawberry Torte (her son's wish for a birthday cake), and I went to watch! And, of course, to taste. This is our family's favorite dessert. Lots of work, but the results are fantastic!

Too bad we can't share! Thanks for letting me watch and taste as well. Wonderful. Makes a beautiful melt-in-your-mouth dessert.
