Afternoon Snacks

POSTED: Friday, December 28, 2012, 3:31 PM

Swedish delicacies and plenty of ways to diversify your cooking repertoire, on today's Afternoon Snacks!

Maybe we're just suffering from Swedish food deprivation, but we always think the food-related events at the American Swedish Historical Museum (1900 Pattison Ave.) sound awesome. But they don't happen every day, and our Swedish food options are otherwise pretty much limited to the IKEA cafeteria at the moment, so take matters into your own hands with a Swedish cooking class! Class is in session Sat., Jan. 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.; it costs $40 and you should call to reserve a spot.

If you're looking for something more casual than educational, how about a pea soup and punch supper? It's a night of pea soup and punch! That would be perfect on its own, but they're also throwing in bread, cheese, and dessert. (Sat., Jan. 26, 6 p.m., $20) Or a chilly February Saturday spent with a Swedish film, a mug of coffee, and a semla? Semlor (seen above) are sweet buns stuffed with a mix of cream and almond paste and eaten on Fat Tuesday—like Sweden's answer to fasnachts. (Sat., Feb. 9, $12 if you reserve online)

But if intensive education sounds good, don't forget about the upcoming classes with Josh Lawler at The Farm and Fisherman (1120 Pine St.). The Jan. 27 whole pig butchery class is sold out, butthere are still spaces available for two that sound great: Sun., Feb. 24's Venison and Game Bird class (1 p.m., $140) and Sun., Mar. 24's Lamb and Goat Sausage Making session (1 p.m., $125). If you want in, you'll need to make reservations by calling the resto at 267-687-1555 (or email judy@thefarmandfisherman.com).
