(S3) - Weekend PT #4 - Football Wives

[bovovovo]

As it turns out, the life of an NSFL wife involves a copious amount of cooking. At least, Olga Bjornsson’s does. Other than her 340 pound husband, Olga has to feed her and Bork’s seven children (with one more on the way). Luckily, Olga is a professional private chef, meaning people can hire her to cook them meals. She’s mastered the art of preparing food in vast quantities, especially dishes native to her birthplace of Sweden.

One episode focusing on Olga and Bork turned into a kind of impromptu cooking show, where Olga showed off her homemade blåbärssoppa, sauerkraut, lingonberry jam, kålrot, kåldolmar, husmanskost, surströmming (Bork’s favorite), Gravlax (Bork III’s favorite), långkok, redningar, pitepalt dumplings, rotmos med flask, inkokt lax, fiskbullar, kotbullar, raggmunk, pytt i panna, kalops, kroppkakor, brännvin, and the classic smorgasbord. That was all in just one episode, and showcased Olga’s typical Sunday when she meal preps for the entire week, cooking enough food to fill up three industrial–grade refrigerators. After the episode had finished recording, she made princesstårta (a kind of fruit-filled sponge cake) and kanebullar (buns with cinnamon filling) for the filming crew to enjoy as a desert. It’s not an over exaggeration to say that the Bjornsson household is almost constantly filled with the sweet smells of various Swedish foods.
