Last weekend was a very relaxing weekend after Friday night. The Autumn Market was in town which is an annual event that dates back hundreds of years. A street in town is blocked off and people set up stands along it selling all kinds of things. People from all over the aria com to buy things are just walk through it. There is a park set up with games, rides, candy, food, toys and entertainment. Saturday afternoon,(I slept all morning) I went to the market and met some friends and we wondered through the crowds of people. I bought some candy, some earrings, a bear sausage, and a blue leather purse which was a bargain; for only around $15! That night, Anna`s grandma came over so we had a nice dinner of a slow baked roast of moose meat. It was delicious, it tasted like no other meat I`ve tried, not even chicken!
Sunday, I woke early enough to go mushroom picking with Hakan before lunch. W
e were looking for the prized brown kanterelle mushrooms which are hard to see because they look like brown leaves but when you find one, you find a cluster. I really love wondering through the forest and found lots of mushrooms. Right now they`re lying on the garage floor dehydrating so we can use them in soups and stews later. That afternoon, I went to the market again, with Anna and Hakan. I bought an alpaca wool sweater from Peru, it purple and black with little alpaca patterns across it. Here`s a picture of Anna and I in the Market. I tried the traditional kolbular which, directly translated says coal bun but is really a pancake with pork bits fried over a flame and served with lingon berry jam. Here`s a picture of me and the meal. I like lingon berries but I can`t say I`m fond of the whole thing.
