Tonight's blog is a quick pitch.

For the past 2 months, the staff at my restaurant has poured themselves into a major event: Snømarket.  We've built a Nordic fishing village in our parking lot, where we'll be selling everything from cookies to akvavit, from marionettes to bandanas.  There will be a raw bar, horse drawn carriage rides, & you can even get your picture taken with a yeti. 

I've never been prouder to be a part of a team.  The amount of work going into this celebration is astounding.  

I'm off to make another batch of glögg.  Please consider coming to the parking lot behind my restaurant--The Norwegian--at 1402 N Main Street in Rockford this weekend.  We'll be throwing the outdoor winter party of our lives.  Hope you're having a great holiday season. -Em
