Delicacies from my home country

Last weekend when I was talking to Laura I promised I would cook some Finnish food for them, and tonight was a perfect opportunity. Something I make far to seldom but I love are Finnish cabbage rolls - they are quite easy to make, and the only more laborious part is blanching the cabbage. I enlisted Laura's help and I was blanching and she was rolling them up, and even though it took a while we had a nice chat about food - Dragon was reading to us about Hitler's diet (he too ate cabbage rolls when he was visiting Finland). We ate the cabbage rolls with potatoes and black currant jam (closest I could get to lingonberry jam) - delicious! For dessert I made marjapuuro, cranberry whip which was also a big hit - Chris must have eaten a half of it.

Rest of the evening was spent watching Gankutsuou (more about that soon) - it's been really fun watching a series together, I think we might pick Wolf's Rain to watch together next. Good times.
