Finn's Cafe

It was Malachi's birthday during this unit, so our "field trip" was to go out to breakfast at Finn's Cafe. It's a Scandinavian-style diner up near Sugarhouse. We liked the decor---very clean and white and modern, with sweet little lingonberry wreaths on the windows. Their food is more Norwegian than Danish, but they had lots of Danish-type things like rye bread, and salmon with capers, and pancakes with berry jam and sour cream. We tried all the things that looked most Scandinavian (they have typical American breakfast-type food too) and everything was really good---we loved the breakfast salmon (so different! but interesting!) best. Because it was Malachi's birthday, our waitress brought him and all the other children a little dish full of strawberries and whipped cream. Yum!

We love our five-year-old Malachi!
