Dad and Mom
Dad had his 70th birthday on the rather magic day 07 07 07. He had a great big party for all his friends, and I thought I'd share with you some of the food! I didn't make any of it, dad brought in a caterer who's a friend of the family, and who makes really, really great food. (Need a caterer in Stockholm? I'll give you her name.)
Cured salmon - gravlax - with pinenuts, lemon and basil
Watermelon Feta Cheese salad with olives and red onions - super yum.
Caribbean salmon - very spicy and very very tasty! It had ginger, piri-piri and allspice on it and was served with a super lime yogurt sauce.
Salad of mango, pineapple and sweet potatoes - great with the salmon.
Minced lamb stuffed with cheese, sundried tomatoes, olives and herbs
Tiny meatballs
Brie topped with thyme and sundried tomoatoes (and something spicy - chilli?)
Dark chocolate truffle cake with fresh raspberries

It all looks absolutely delicious! And happy birthday to your father!
"Palju õnne sünnipäevaks" to your dad! Lovely spread!
Happy birthday to your father - a handsome couple! The food looks so good. That salmon and the brie plus the watermelon salad -- all very unusual and delicious sounding. My parents had their 50th anniversary on 6-14-91 which was also their postal zipcode -- and the post offices 100th anniversary! Funny how numbers work - 70 on 7-7-07 -- a very lucky day!
What a great feast!
Happy Birthday To Your Dad!
The Watermellon Feta Cheese Salad looks absolutely wonderful. I bet it was a great day and a great meal!
Happy birthday to your dad! We share the same lucky day. The food looks delicious...hope it was a great weekend!
What a celebration! Your mom and dad look great!!!! (and so does the food!) No wine to toast with?
Happy 70th to your dad! That is so wild that it was on the sevens. Mine is on the 6th so I missed it by one day. The photos made me hungry!!!
You are lucky to have parents who are together that long. Best of luck to you and your family.
happy birthday to your dad..
Absolutely delicious looking food...and man what a wonderful day for a bday....cheers to your dad!!!!
I like salmon and just saw the photo. I'll have to look this one up and give it a try.
Happy birthday to your dad. Our daughter is about to have her baby, and we were hoping for that birth date so much, it sounds so lucky., but it was not to be. I want to eat that pineapple and mango salad right NOW, did it have a dressing on it?Your recipes always make me ravenous, Per is a lucky man to have such a foodie.

Hi Anne, you make cooking a real art!! Lovely presentation...
Watermelon and Feta! Who da thunk it?
Sounds yummy although unusual.
Hi Anne ! quite an inspiring site, came across your blog on the blogger homepage..we are vegetarians, but could borrow a lot from your site..kind regards
Thank you everyone! I'll show this to my dad! :) And happy birthday to everyone who shared his, or had one close to it! :)
Deb - oh, there was wine. Lots. But nothing particularly exciting. :)
The pineapple and mango salad actually didn't have dressing, I don't think! It was very fresh-tasting, and I really liked the sweet potatoes in it. Unusual!
