Stockholm
museum re-creates era of giant wooden warships
In 1625, the King Gustaf II Adolf ordered four ships
to be built, and Vasa was supposed to be the biggest
one of them. One thousand oak trees were cut to build
the ship. / By Jonas Tyden

Wraps are one of my summertime favorites. They are quick,
light and healthy. / By Errin Stevenson
Swedes
sing along at Allsång på Skansen
This week I decided to visit the extremely
popular Allsång på Skansen show. It is a Swedish
television show where famous Swedish and international
songs are sung, and the crowd sings along. / By
Jonas Tyden
Simple
Kitchen: Chicken pasta spinach salad
A salad that serves as a main entrée is always one that
I just love! It is healthy, filling and gives you a
different dish during a busy week. / By Errin Stevenson
Palace
of Drottningholm has history and style
This week I visited the Palace of Drottningholm, which
is on Lovön outside Stockholm, Sweden. It was built
in the 1600s and it is a palace full of history. /

Kitchen: Summer sun quenchers
In Utah, summers are hot and drinks are always nice
when they are served while the grill is going. So, lets
kick our drinks up and add some flavor. / By Errin
Stevenson
Visby,
the city of roses
I spent this past week in Visby, which
is the capital city on Gotland. Gotland is the largest
island in the Baltic Sea. It is a very beautiful island,
and approximately 50,000 people live on Gotland year
around. / By Jonas Tyden
Swedes
celebrate the sun on Midsummer's Eve and Day
The Swedish Midsummer is seen by many as the start of
the summer because a lot of people go on vacations after
the traditional weekend. / By Jonas Tyden
Simple
Kitchen: Barbecue bash
Let's let the fire begin by filling up our propane tanks
to start the grill. With Pioneer Day just around the
corner, we know there is lots of barbecues headed our
way. / By Errin Stevenson
Simple
Kitchen: Fruity summer
If you are like me, living in Utah can be hard because
there is a short fruit season here. So, during these
few months, enjoy! Fruits are great for any meal during
the summer. They are very healthy, light and fun to
serve. / By Errin Stevenson
Simple
Kitchen: Easy pasta
Pasta is a great side dish, main dish or just a snack
during the afternoon or evening hours. Served with warm
bread, it is always an easy hit! / By Errin Stevenson
Simple
Kitchen: Grilling some fine bratwurst
Grilling is my favorite way to cook meat in the summer!
It is quick, yummy and really easy to clean up. It also
adds the nice, fired flavor to your meats and you can
cook your meat to perfection. / By Errin Stevenson
Simple
Kitchen: Green and healthy
Slow down on the dressing and speed up
the fruits and vegetables is my theory. Also, look for
the dark colors in fruits and vegetables. They are usually
the richest in nutrients. / By Errin Stevenson
Movies
'Mamma
Mia!' a bit of summer fun
The light-hearted summer movie musical Mamma Mia!
is perfect for best girl-friends, mothers and daughters
and anyone else looking to have a carefree night on
the beach. / By Sara Anderson
'Dark
Knight' a powerful step up from first Batman movie
Gotham has a new white knight and a new villain to haunt
your dreams. The Dark Knight is black with
menace, dripping with distain from the Joker's evil
laugh. And the ending isn't exactly happy. / By
Sara Anderson
Funny,
cool action, actors in 'Get Smart'
Get Smart is a laugh-out-loud good time. The cast
is perfect for the roles and makes the action and comedy
look easy. This could be the comedy summer-blockbuster.
/ By Sara Anderson
'Hulk'
good for action but not in 'Iron Man's' league
The Incredible Hulk may go over better with fans
of the comic book but can be enjoyable for anyone looking
for action and science fiction. / By Sara Anderson
'Kung
Fu Panda' fun for all ages
Kung Fu Panda, which opened Friday, is full of
action, bravery, comedy and a tale of the underdog (or
under-panda). This film is rated PG and proves to be
enjoyable for any age. / By Sara Anderson
'Zohan'
too racy, not Sandler's best work
If you're offended by sexual jokes, motions or innuendos,
this movie is not for you. The movie does have funny
political moments and carries a humorous political theme
throughout. Still, not the best Adam Sandler movie.
/ By Sara Anderson
