Välkomna till vecka 46, 2025 | Welcome to week 46, 2025
It’s been a minute since my last update; getting settled into a more regular routine and daily life means more homework and less time for taking adventures. Despite this, I have successfully tried a surströmming-and-peanut-butter sandwich (recipe courtesy of Great-Great-Grandpa Gus Larson), gone to Stockholm several times, gone to the West Coast, found a nyckelharpa (and met one of the best nyckelharpa players alive today), played in a metal band, and become a legal adult.

I would not recommend the sandwich.

Karl Davis
Fermented herring.

Oh. Ew.

There’s a difference between fermented herring and pickled herring. My grandfather enjoyed peanut butter and sardines. Don’t know that he tried any sort of herring…

I love the music – what an interesting looking instrument!
I’ll skip the herring too! 🤪
