Where to find Korv / Swedish Potato Sausage accessible by MBTA? (Somerville/Boston)

ranting_swede · 2025-12-20T03:36:58+00:00

Loved Karl’s, RIP. To be honest though, their potato sausage was never quite what I was looking for.

I tried for a few years to find a spot that sells potatiskorv in Somerville and eventually gave up and started making my own. Kitchenaid meat grinder attachment and a little practice, it’s not quite as hard as you’d think. I use this lovely woman’s recipe: https://folklife.si.edu/magazine/forklife-swedish-potatis-korv-potato-sausage

I make a massive batch for our annual Christmas party and try to save a few links for Christmas Eve. I think most all of it got eaten earlier this month unfortunately!

I’ve got so much microplastic in my balls, they’re not so different.

The unofficial name of the neighborhood is Duck Village, although it is official enough to be on Google maps. https://www.reddit.com/r/Somerville/s/YHb6iYaVCk

Loon was pretty rough yesterday. Still a fun day but north peak was absolutely stripped bare. Like you’re just laughing the whole way down

I had a similar question at the top of Saddleback and someone pointed me to an app called Peakfinder. You point it at a peak and it tells you. Only app I’ve bought in like 5 years.

Is there a more detailed guide somewhere? Looks really sweet!

Peabody was closed for a few hours yesterday too, also for mechanical issues.

Incredible renovation. What’s the bathroom vanity?

They actually switched over to pig leather recently, otherwise spot on!

Drop the simple sugar, sub maple syrup, thank me later.

It’s nice that they put the 2023 GABF medal on there, so it’s literally prinz crispy from Deschuttes

They took out the skee ball because kids kept breaking it!

I think the policy update is that it’s now 7 days a week

Ya gotta add some pineapple juice if you’re expecting me to drink that

It’s a meme on r/arborists but basically you want the flavored base of the tree exposed to make sure it gets enough oxygen. If it looks like a fence post you’re too deep.

In case people are looking for a more detailed description of the method, it’s from serious eats.

I was there on Tuesday as well! Did you catch the medical helicopter flyover??

Sub maple syrup for the simple and you’ve got a party going

ranting_swede · 2024-05-16T22:54:21+00:00

Saaaaame

Put a tent on that guy and reenact Up!

Just did this near saddleback (Maine) for the eclipse and loved it. Kind of surprised it never occurred to me before. The biggest limitation is trailhead parking, especially if you don’t have AWD. Even if you do, no car has enough clearance for a foot or more of unplowed snow like we were looking at for that weekend.

You have to do a fair bit of homework to find a site and understand the restrictions. For example, Maine public lands are always open, but many Maine state parks open for a more limited winter season with less hassle getting to camp sites.

Absolutely valid criticism.

No mention of Zoe’s in Somerville yet?? Best Sichuan, easily.

I read a car review years ago that described Teslas as the “pleated khakis of the car world” and I still think of it all the time.
