My family recently went on a vacation to Finland. In addition to enjoying the food and scenery, many of us fell in love with the lonkero, or long drink. This is a strictly Finnish drink made by combining cheap gin with citrus. The most common flavor is grapefruit, which is reproduced here. Lonkero is not sold in the US so I decided to try to copy it by referring to web sites from other tourists who tried to copy it and reading the ingredients on the company's web site.

Strawberry Tiramisu Roll
This strawberry tiramisu roll is a pretty, tasty, and fun variation on tiramisu. The spiraled layers of mascarpone cream and ladyfingers are revealed when sliced. Use the ripest, juiciest berries you can find for the best flavor.
Crawfish Etouffee
This traditional Cajun stew gets its flavor from what is known as the Trinity–onion, green bell pepper, and celery–and the rich spices used to create Cajun seasoning. It's similar to gumbo but with a thicker, gravy-type base. Serve over rice to make a complete meal.
Pumpernickel Rye Bread
This pumpernickel rye bread is a hearty recipe. I recommend baking in the oven instead of a bread machine because the loaf is fuller, with a much nicer top. I hope you enjoy it.
