I actually have a friend here who has very negative views on many things and people in Linköping but I actually love my life here...grin...despite my ranting about "the cheese incident" :-) My husband is Linköpingsbo so I don't think we'll be moving anywhere else anytime soon. But sometimes I can smell the pacific and that's when I long for California and my Dad. I'll have to go into Norin's for you and tell them, "Sean say's hej" and purchase some nice white cheddar. Have a great day! <br /><br />LynetteLynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835169727872255265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-91647452416588257722009-08-17T12:04:31.131-07:002009-08-17T12:04:31.131-07:00Lynette,

I found most Swedes to be very open-minded about things like this and at least hide their snobbery if only out of courtesy and politeness. What I would give, even as I am in California right now (with Monterey Jack in my fridge), to walk into a European cheese shop and try 10 different cheeses finally settling on just the right one. Have a good time in Sweden - Enjoy every moment.<br />SeanSean and Paige Whitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761862319866640697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-82514621902112722282009-08-15T01:25:04.920-07:002009-08-15T01:25:04.920-07:00I'm a transplanted Californian who lives in Li...I'm a transplanted Californian who lives in Linköping. I too love this little town. I too have been to Norin's ost shop and have purchased some really nice cheese there. But when I asked one day if they would carry Monterey Jack cheese...I had to say it's a cheese made in California...the man behind the counter stuck his nose up in the air and grunted and said that California doesn't make cheese and then walked away from me! There are great things that come out of California and he doesn't think that we have dairies and people who can make cheese there??? Excuse me, but cheese just from Sweden, France and Italy isn't the end all and be all in the cheese world...and what about Mexican cheese for us Mexican food lovers? Forgive my rant, I get a little tired of people here sticking their nose up in the air about California when they haven't even been there. Okay my rant is over....nice blog btw. :-)Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835169727872255265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-2203066319927145412008-10-25T01:32:00.000-07:002008-10-25T01:32:00.000-07:00My favoritestore in the whole wide world!

I have also been to the one year old kind of new Norins store in Norrköping which is really nice! I acually thought of writing about Norins in my blogg as well, and I will someday, but I haven't had the time yet!<BR/><BR/>By the way, when are you moving back to the other side of the world? ;-) And were to?<BR/><BR/>/Sybaritan<BR/><BR/>PS: Do you know what a swedish "sybarit" is? :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-35395318778794471162008-10-16T16:04:00.000-07:002008-10-16T16:04:00.000-07:00I sure know that cheese shop, the smell was so str...I sure know that cheese shop, the smell was so strong the first time I stepped in there, but now after spending 4,5 yrs in Ireland I'm so sick of 20 variations of cheddar and wish I could step into Norin's and buy a nice Prästost ;) I'm doing what you're doing but the other way around; I'm trying to make my way back to Sweden again, and it's harder to sort things out and make up my mind than I thought.

And that one place, Domkyrka, shouldn't even count because I can be standing anywhere in Linkoping and see that landmark. What gives? Is it because I'm so much cooler than you? You wanted a few "cool" spots that only you know about? Pretty selfish, Sean. I hope that smelly cheese was rotten.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596366525350365964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-12033018103036859412008-10-15T07:55:00.000-07:002008-10-15T07:55:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596366525350365964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-51574062658315349212008-10-13T23:58:00.000-07:002008-10-13T23:58:00.000-07:00The smellier the better ;DThe smellier the better ;DLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691349899707133730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-81137214171515760782008-10-13T20:55:00.000-07:002008-10-13T20:55:00.000-07:00as much as i looooooove cheesei was hoping for tal...as much as i looooooove cheese<BR/>i was hoping for tales of <BR/>the kelly jean ronan visit!<BR/>next entry, ok?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427765856862110520noreply@blogger.com
