The starter was a green pea soup. I've never had it before but it was pretty wonderful. There's just caramelized onions and peas in it and it only takes about 15 minutes to prepare. It was served with a sour cream/horseradish sauce. It was awesome. My daughter won't eat green peas but she had a second serving. Even the grand-kids liked it.

When we got to her house, she said she didn't know how to make gravy so I made it. It was the only cooking I did today. Today was a very good day.
> For dessert we had a meringue, lemon curd, whipped cream, and chocolate parfait. Awesome. it's a Swedish custom to have dessert and then rest up a little. After a short period, you then have coffee and cake. Ha ha, that's kind of an overkill but we did it alright.
