"GONE TO THE BEACH"

Believe it or not; the PICNIC SEASON has started!
Ok, I admit that occasionally fingers get numb, and your toes feel like icicles... But it's worth the effort.

Simplest things taste amazing outdoors; like seed-rye bread topped with egg- butter and shrimps.

Finns usually garnish traditional Karelian pies with EGG BUTTER (just a mixture of normal salted butter and chopped, hard boiled eggs). Egg butter accompanies also the rye bread nicely... Boiled shrimps finish the treat... And steaming hot soup keeps you warm.

Sunbathing at these latitudes requires "special equipment", such as sheepskins and even a red wine warmer.

... And right after sunset you're in a hurry to pack your picnic away, and head back home, to a hot sauna.
