A Day at Work

So, as a job I help out cooking and serving meals at the Gamlestovo (old farmhouse) from roughly the 16th c. with parts that may be older. I get to work with my Dad which is alright and lets face it, its pretty dang cool to work out of a 16th c. building.

First up are some shots of randomness that may or may not interest some of you...

Mushrooms found by my house, the red type was what reportedly (old wives tale if you ask the locals) the Vikings ate before Beserking.

Local "goods", teas, berry syrups, this store is where you can find reindeer meat and cloudberry syrup.

Mushrooms from the region, dried and ready to cook with (see reindeer cooking post)

Dog picture...I warned you about these...I just like that he was thoughtful enough to allow the cat some room on the couch. What a sweety.

Next up, quick tour of "where I work".

My Dad and his Atypical cook work get-up

Foyer area, some original furnishings and utensils

Old stove in Gamlestovo

Very old (and tiny) bed and tiny slanted door I have to get in and out of the kitchen through

Tables set for dinner for 20

After "work" today, I was treated to a very beautiful sunset I could see as soon as I walked out after serving dinner.

More Sunsets...
