Anniversary

Last Friday I had a very busy day. First, I went to the gym, then I cleaned the apartment (those of you who know me well also know how much I hate to clean, but sometimes it has to be done), then I put on make up for the evening, then I headed off to the mall to spend lots of money on clothes that I had looked on earlier (a new winter coat, in a model that hopefully has enough space for my growing belly, a dress and some other, smaller things that I felt I needed) and then back home to leave all the shopping bags and get dressed for dinner out together with Matts to celebrate our five year anniversary. On my "to-do-list" I also had some more things, like baking muffins and applying nail polish, but I never had time to do these things. I actually hardly had time to sit down and relax on the whole day so it was nice not to have to make dinner as well.

We went to a place that serves fondue here in Lund. We had a very nice soup as a starter and then the "Stäket's fondue" (Diced pork and beef, whole mushrooms, Rhode Island sauce with garlic, BBQ-sauce, bearnaise sauce, horse radish sauce, roquefort sauce, ajvar sauce and french fries). It was good, but not as good as the fondue we had in Switzerland... But we had a very nice evening and that's the most important thing, right?

What's Rhode Island Sauce?

Haha, good question. It's a cold sauce or dressing made of mayo, tomato puree, chili sauce, cream or crème fraiche, brandy, sherry, tabasco... There are many variations. It has a pinkish color and is very popular here in Sweden. It was invented by a Swedish chef in the 1940s. I don't know where the name comes from though.
