Today was a day to relax and do nothing really. Except I wanted to make dinner one last time and this day was the only day left. I made salmon cakes that are served on salad greens but it was hard to find the salmon at the store. If we had a bigger store next to us, it wouldn't have been so hard since I saw plenty of it when I was at other stores. So, I bought frozen salmon when I normally use canned because it is so easy. It worked out just fine and the flavor is probably better anyway. I poached the frozen salmon with sliced lemons, dill and chives. You drain it, cool it and flake it with a fork. Anyway, I thought it would make more than it did so I am afraid there wasn't enough for everyone to get full on. I knew Jan wouldn't like it much since he doesn't eat salmon or salad but Farmor said she would have something else for him. I made the cakes at the apartment and fried them up at Farmor's house. I think it turned out rather well despite the lightness of the meal. It is also hard to cook food for 8 adults! Even Jan seemed to like it or at least was humoring me by trying some. ;)
The rest of the day was spent visiting and enjoying everyone's company one last time. We tried not to make it too late since we had to pack all our stuff. We are traveling to Hudiksvall where Fredrik's dad and stepmom live and we have to get up really early. Ugh. Wish us luck!
