Here, razor-thin and crispy dried onion sheets bookended lovage, rye, and leek, transporting us to the Scandinavian countryside. Tara Sgroi2/15In Good CompanyTyler Haney, CEO and co-founder of the seriously chic activewear company Outdoor Voices, and her beau, chef and restaurateur Larry McGuire of Austin's beloved Josephine House and Jeffrey's, were all smiles at cocktail hour. And how could they not be? They still had six courses and three wines—white, red, and dessert—to go. Tara Sgroi3/15There's No Place Like HomeThere's no place like home, but a new locale can come close if you bring souvenirs with you. Chef Berlin carried Swedish mulch overseas to plate—and camouflage—his chicken-liver, anise, cinnamon, and chestnut course, which was shaped like the mulch he served it on. Tara Sgroi4/15Yes Way, Rosé!At BA we firmly believe that all great days—and dinners—begin with a generous pour of rosé. For the special occasion, we geared up for dinner with some Laherte Frères' Champagne Rosé Ultradition. Tara Sgroi6/15Lending a HandBA's own assistant editor Amiel Stanek got his hands dirty helping the chef prep. With three days of work under their belts, and workflow down to a T, things were moving like clockwork when it came time for the big dinner, and dishes were assembled lightning-fast. Tara Sgroi7/15WorkaroundsCan't set up an open fire pit in New York the way you would in Sweden's great outdoors? No problem if you're Daniel Berlin, who nailed charring celeriac anyway, given four hours with binchotan charcoal on a grill he borrowed from Korin down the block. Tara Sgroi9/15And All the World's Chicken SkinsTest Kitchen manager Brad Leone searched far and wide for the many pounds of rooster skins requested, but those are harder to find in the New York area than you'd expect. But, you know what we always say! When life gives you chicken skins instead of rooster skins, you cook cauliflower with poultry fat and lemon-verbena and top it all off with those roasted bird skins. Tara Sgroi14/15Life's Too Short for Savory DessertsWe wouldn't say that chef Berlin has a sweet tooth exactly, but "I do want sweet desserts," he said. While other big-name restaurants in Sweden go for parsley-centric savory desserts, he's going to stick with a balanced-but-sweet frozen buttermilk number with sugar-fried rosemary and dried, salty eggwhite.

While many of his recent protests in Stockholm has had an increasingly lukewarm response with a small number of onlookers it was his first protest in Malmö and according to public broadcaster SVT around 200 people had showed up to watch several cars were set on fire in Malmö’s Rosengård district and rocks were thrown at police when they arrived By midnight the situation had calmed down and there were no reports of injuries Police said it was too early to link the incidents to the protest and riot ‘I thought I was about to see people die before my eyes’ Around 150 people had to evacuate when an explosion at an apartment block in Norrköping caused a fire to break out Parts of the roof caved in and some people had to climb out through the window “I thought I was about to see people die before my eyes it was a very peculiar feeling,” Elvira Subasic told regional newspaper Norrköpings Tidningar Fire and rescue services were called out to the scene at 6am on Sunday and said they had the fire under control at around 11.30am No one was seriously injured in the inferno A man and a woman were on Monday morning being held in connection with the incident The national bomb squad was called in to investigate the explosion but police said it was too early to tell whether it was linked to a spate of violent crimes in the region High earners miss out on expected tax break The Swedish government has pulled the plug on a raising of the limit for who has to pay state tax on top of regional tax The hike would otherwise have happened automatically in line with inflation and would have seen everyone earning less than 57,000 kronor a month exempt from state tax But the right-wing coalition said they needed the tax money to fund a series of budget measures for households arguing that the cap was already raised significantly between the years 2022 and 2023 “I think many people understand that the situation is problematic and that you have to be pragmatic we need a restrictive budget,” Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson who is set to present the budget bill to parliament on September 20th Please log in here to leave a comment Thirteen stops are planned for the future high-speed rail link between Sweden's three biggest cities But there's criticism from the towns that are not among them municipalities along future high-speed rail lines connecting Stockholm Gothenburg and Malmö - heard if their towns were to be considered for station stops along the lines.  the stops are proposed to be Vagnhärad a west-bound route towards Gothenburg would continue through Borås A south-bound route towards Malmö would continue from Jönköping through Värnamo Many awaited the decision on the train's route through the province of Småland where two routes were being considered an easterly route through Älmhult and the more-populous Växjö or a westerly route through Ljungby and Värnamo HG Wessberg said the westerly route was chosen because it was shorter straightest and therefore cheapest route through Småland," said HG Wessberg from Sverigeförhandlingen (the National Negotiation on Housing and Infrastructure) at the announcement Monday morning And for the small town of Tranås the news was fantastic "Right now it is as if we have won an olympic gold medal," a very pleased Tranås Mayor Anders Wilander told Swedish Television News told TT that he did not think the proposal would be approved by the Swedish Parliament "This is emerging as a project that is just about linking Stockholm All of southeastern Sweden is being left completely outside For that reason I don't think this will be sustainable," he said And in an interview with Radio Sweden Mayor Frank said that the planner's reasoning that the westerly route through Småland would be cheaper did not make financial sense because it would sacrifice riders from the south-east "If you take just two minutes extra to let the train go by Växjö you could reach a population of a couple hundred thousand people for more passengers in the south-eastern part of Sweden So we could bring a better economy to the whole project," Frank said The railway is estimated to cost between SEK 190 and 330 billion to build according to Swedish Radio news quoting a figure from the Swedish Transport Administration.  Sverigeförhandlingen, which is tasked with meeting representatives from local and regional governments, must submit a final report in December of 2017 which will be used by the government to make the final plans for the high-speed lines Swedish Radio's local channel in Kronoberg County reported that the train was estimated to be finished by 2035 plus weekly summary on Fridays at 4.30pm on P2 (P6 89.6FM in Stockholm) Kontakta gärna Sveriges Radios forum för teknisk support där vi besvarar dina frågor vardagar kl A simple death notice in a Swedish newspaper went viral in life the aviator behind it saw the sky as the limit Stig Kernell had specific and strong wishes for his own obituary notice southern Sweden that he wanted the notice simply to state his name and the words "I Am Dead" along with the place and date of his death "He was a special man with a very particular sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye," Kernell's son since he did not fear death in the least." "He felt that not much else needed to be said The late Kernell was interested in class and gender differences explaining that those differences "persist until death in graveyards where a man's occupational title is listed on the grave stone At some point it occurred to him that he did not want to make a big deal out of his own passing and so he went to the undertaker in Tranås and spoke to them." A historian of aviation and a transportation technician held a pilot's license and worked for a while as a flight instructor he once made it into the Guinness Book of Records and he owned Sweden's largest aviation book collection Kernell died on April 6th at the age of 92 His eye-catching obituary was published Saturday in newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet Now nearly a year since a suicide bomber blew himself up in Stockholm on December 11 the Swedish Intelligence Service (Säpo) held their first press conference about the investigation The investigation has been criticised in the Swedish media for being too secretive with more details about the failed terrorist attack emerging from Scotland than here in Scandinavia It was an afternoon during the Christmas shopping season when a bomb expoded on Bryggargatan in central Stockholm He had come to Sweden from Iraq as a 10-year-old before coming back to Sweden and settling in Tranås with family members less than a month before the attack gave a detailed account of the suicide bomber's movements from when he came back to Sweden up until the time when he detonated explosives he was wearing said during the conference that the Service has received 1,200 tips and carried out technical investigations of the crime scene Sweden has dropped plans to invest in rail links that would allow trains to travel at 320km/h with the Swedish Transport Administration judging that limiting the links to a top speed of 250km/h makes more economic sense The announcement came as part of the agency's new investment plan for 2018-2029 the agency envisages spending SEK 622.5 billion in developing and maintaining Sweden's rail and road infrastructure The agency's director-general Lena Erixon said during the announcement on Thursday that building less ambitious high-speed links made more sense it is important to make sure that we can immediately benefit from the investments we make," she said we would not be able to make use of it during the build-out period." stretches of 250km/h rail will be developed over the next decade between Stockholm and Malmö with Linköping-Tranås-Borås likely to follow These will cut more than an hour from the journey between Malmö and Stockholm and roughly half an hour from the journey between Stockholm and Gothenburg transport spokesperson for the opposition Moderates said that the decision represented a victory for her party the government has promised high-speed rail services for 230 billion [SEK]," she said "We have warned that the money is not available and instead want to expand the railroad where most needed and we have said that 250 km/h represents the most value for money."
