Sacred Ground Cafe Scandinavian Dinner
Hello my friends! What great Winter Olympic Games! So proud of our Team USA for getting 12 Gold Medals. This was one of our most successful Winter Olympics ever. Special congratulations to the men's hockey team who took home the gold for the first time since 1980! How wonderful that so many athletes in these Olympics are from Colorado! The only country that did better than the USA is Norway! Maybe this is because they have national dishes like the "Success Cake!" Maybe we can gain some success from them by eating this same dish! That's exactly what we're going to do!

Friday March 6th, we will be having a Scandinavian themed dinner, with a glass of red or white w**e included. It will be from 6PM-8PM, and $65 per person.

Appetizer: Scandinavian Salmon Soup with Potatoes and Corn
Entree: Swedish Meatballs with Fresh Pasta and White Sauce
Dessert: Norwegian Almond Suksessterte "Success Cake"

I hope to see you there; please give us a call at (719) 475-0888 or visit us in person to make your reservation. Seating is limited, so be sure to call ahead. As a reminder, please do not leave voicemails for reservations.
