Herb Egg Butter

More wax!!

For any of you partial to vintage ski paraphernalia here is Something Old and Something New in side-by-side Reds: years ago Swedish wax company Lind-Ex changed their name to SkiGo and here they are together. We bought the new SkiGo Red this year because of impending warm conditions, and Scott found a red Lind-Ex kick wax from the early 1980’s in his wax box.

I love the SkiGo ski bag in the background of the SkiGo waxes, and next to the ‘EDSBYN’ bag–another vintage name in skis.

And while we’re on the topic of skiing…

Here is a sweet article from CXC about the rise of the superstar U.S. women skiers during the last decade, and the inspiration they have been to other young women.

Go Ladies!! 

This was another little dish we found when searching for menu items for the Estonian Dinner.  A simple egg salad, the traditional method is only butter and eggs but herbs brighten it up a bit.  Cayenne, cider vinegar or hot sauce would also be tasty additions.

Here on the northern side of the 45th Parallel North things like butter and protein look mighty good when you’ve been out in the snow all day long.

Enjoy this like an egg salad sandwich or top with other tasty treats and serve open-faced as Danish Smørrebrød. 

Everything sliced very thin…
