Another Swedish Crayfish Party

Last Saturday, we attended a crayfish party sponsored by the Swedish Women's group in San Diego. We went there as guests of our friends Carroll and Borje Ekberg. It was so much fun (an lots of crayfish!) with all the drinking and the singing. Unfortunately we had to leave early because we had to drive to Tahoe the next morning.

Beautiful evening for a crayfish party! Look at these crayfish, freshly shipped from Oregon and cooked the Swedish way.

Yes, we did wear the customary crayfish hats. They distributed copies of swedish crayfish party songs so everybody could sing along. After every song, each one has to drink Acquavit. Skoal!



And here's another Swede Ralph, going around the table pouring Absolut Vodka. Or maybe socializing with the women?!? At some point, the funny hats started to look good on everybody. Ooops...must be the vodka and acquavit ...LOTS OF FUN!
