You might know that my husband has contracted a dreadful sickness since he moved here--mandolin obsession. (And to a slightly lesser degree, bluegrass music.) Tonight, he was reading about a new ebay find, and I thought I would share it with you all. A mandolin even I can appreciate. Cute, eh? (Apparently the builder doesn't really want to sell it, hence the $15k starting bid.)

I made Swedish pizza tonight.. I was going to make it Friday night but I got sick and didn't feel like it. This is the first time I've done it alone, though, and it was a little more work than I was ready for tonight. But it turned out really well, even if the crust was too crispy. I decided to not bother making my half like Swedish pizza at all, and covered it with a bunch of spicy stuff. Pretty good stuff! Magnus had salami, onions, mushrooms and egg. He really didn't want mushrooms but I forgot and added them anyway. *giggle* He'll be taking half of the second one to work for lunch.. I suspect there'll be a comment on the egg. ;)

I lived in Italy for 2 years and the pizzas here in Sweden are NOT Italian pizza. Magnus is right, they are more of a Turkish pizza, though Turkish pizza doesn't have all the toppings - I think that's a Swedish adaptation. I make my own Italian style pizza here as I find the toppings VERY bizarre. But I have braved a couple of them and lived to tell the tale :)
