!!) Hey, I just noticed you’re a MinnesOtan! I’m originally from Wisconsin, so we’re practically neighbors, don’cha’know! Have some lutefisk for me this Christmas! *plugging nose

LOL! Ya, fer sure!

Actually, Christimas Eve we are having Lasagna and I might make Heidi's Cheese Ball receipe.
Christmas day I'm not sure, have not had a Lutefisk warning yet so it will probably be something like ham....I've only eaten Lutefisk once in my whole life though, not a favorite of mine!

<---ex-Californian

Dude,
like.....what's Lutefisk?!?!

SYLLABICATION: lu�te�fisk

PRONUNCIATION: lt-fsk

VARIANT FORMS: also lut�fisk ( ltfsk)

NOUN: A traditional Scandinavian dish prepared
by soaking air-dried cod in a lye solution
for several weeks before skinning, boning, and boiling it, a process that gives the dish
its characteristic gelatinous consistency.
ETYMOLOGY: Norwegian : lut, lye (from Swedish,
from Old Norse laudhr, soap, foam; see leu()- in Appendix I) + fisk, fish (from Old Norse fiskr).

MMMMMM, sounds good huh?!!!!

Sorry,couldn't resist adding this.
So many of my Christmases were taken
up with this lovely carol, brings
a tear to my eye!!


"O LUTEFISK"
[May be sung to the tune of 'O Tannunbaum]

Lutefisk... 0 Lutefisk... how fragrant your aroma
0 Lutefisk... 0 Lutefisk... You put me, in a coma
You smell so strong... You look like glue
You taste yust like an overshoe
Put Lutefisk ... come Saturday
I tink I'll eat you anyway.
Lutefisk ... 0 Lutefisk ... I put you by the doorway
I vanted you to ripen up ... yust like dey do in Norway
A dog came by and sprinkled you ... I hit him vit an army shoe
0 Lutefisk ... now I suppose
I'll eat you as I hold my nose.

Lutefisk ... 0 Lutefisk ... how well I do remember
On Christmas Eve how we'd receive ... our big treat of December
It vasn't turkey or fried ham ... it vasn't even pickled spam
My mudder knew dere vas no risk ...
In serving buttered lutefisk.

Lutefisk ... 0 Lutefisk ... now everyone discovers
Dat Lutefisk and lefse makes-Norweigians better lovers
Now all da vorld can have a ball ... you're better dan dat Yeritol
0 Lutefisk ... vit brennevin
You make me feel like Errol Flynn.

Lutefisk ... O lutefisk ... You have a special flavor
Lutefisk ... O lutefisk ... All good Norwegians savor.
That slimy slab we know so well ... Identified by ghastky smell
Lutefisk ... O lutefisk ... Our loyalty won't waver.

Actually, it does bring back fond memories of my grandparents, I miss them...

Hey, you can wash anything down with Glog.

I still have no picture of me to post. Sorry.

Sounds a bit like some of the offerings on the breakfast menu when I visited Norway this year ..............

You'll never catch me eating anything called "lutefisk"



Sounds revolting.

...and me either, since I've actually shredded and threw all of mine a couple of years ago (apologies to my mates and a few famous people like Mr Aspinall who had to be shredded along with me). Good to see more of you, tho.

ROFL!! Man, you can learn a lot on this board! THanks for the lyrics, Jenn! CUUUUte song!

Happy (if stinky) Christmas, everybody!!

P.S. MUCH better, Pet Eunuch! ~edit: Wait--the picture ain't loading for me. Bummer! Try again PetU!~

P.P.S. Everybody else, quit makin' excuses!! Get 'em up here! C'mon!!!

Sorry for getting off topic...

re: Lutefisk

I tried this one Christmas at my now-ex-boyfriend�s family's house.

It wasn�t as bad as I thought. My mother�s family is from Newfoundland and salt cod is a traditional food there (it used to be the foundation of the whole economy of Newfoundland) so it reminds me of that quite a bit.

Of course, the Newfoundland salt cod is not soaked in lye, so maybe that makes it a bit more palatable and less gelatinous than lutefisk.

Salt cod is also popular in Portuguese and Italian cuisine (known as bacalhau or baccala) and I think some Caribbean cultures too.

A tad more recent (from this summer when I was on sabbatical, and I could grow a beard):



And me after that time I was dead for 4 weeks, and then I came back as a zombie, and I wanted to eat brains, but I couldn't really find any on the FrenzForum.

OK. I'm not gonna toy with you. When I'm on the computer, this is how I really look. It's not a pretty sight.

Classic Dr.!

Wow Jenn.......you know your stuff! Thanks for the definition: I think I know EXACTLY what to think about lutefisk! And the song was GREAT!!! It'll be in my head for the next 2 weeks!

Bordergirl,
SORRY it took so long to get back to you. The paintings are actually drawn by my cousin, he's very young and talented, i'm considered the author of the family while he remains as our well read artist. Hope this clears some things up.

I found a far more recent picture of me on the web...it's a photo of me and the hubby with a friend's baby Clara...the photo won't link up, so here's the link.

Auntie Anne and Craig on the web

Notice I am quite inept at holding said baby....and how the caption mentions my Dad always giving Clara beer. We're a strange bunch, my family...

Sweet Secret Peace - thanks for the compliment! You are a sweetie - glad you're making the trek to the NW for the concerts in February.

Hey, Anne:

I see three cuties in that picture!

Hey Arlington don't worry.....I'm still here!!! We think that would make a great band name: Crayon TIE Fighters!!

Oh, and hey guys, I just remembered I made a temporary web-site for my sports endeavors......check it out here! My Sports Site

Alright drT! YOu are now officially on my list of favorite Canucks. (What a bunch of goof-balls you Canadians are!) I love it!!

Cute again, Anne! Will Miss Clara be joining us at the show? LOL. Hope to see you there, anyway! NOw I know who to look for! Hee hee.

bG Well, I checked it out, but I'm still pretty much of a "dyed in the wool chicken" where team sports are concerned. You, however, GO gurl!!

More PICS Please! Get Motivated!

:edit: Whoo Hoo Page 5 Frenz!

I guess that I should post a serious one for a change.

Here's one of me and my better half:

you're a lucky Dr..

Thanks, SSP! Aren't you living up to the Sweetness of your name!

I must clarify for everyone who looked at the Auntie Anne pic - Miss Clara is not my baby. She lives in Austin, Texas and belongs to my friends Nancy and Rodney - Don't make me a mother before my time I thought it would be obvious that I am the least likely to have a baby - look at how I am holding her in the picture! Awkward City!

However, if Miss Clara were in Seattle, I am sure she would join us - she's quite the concert-goer. She's already seen Brave Combo 3 times (if you don't know who Brave Combo is - they are only the hardest working Polka band in the world)

Dr. Thirsty - nice pic - what a handsome couple you two make (although I am fond of the previous zombie photo myself! Does your other half know about that side of you?)

Anne

Anne[/qb]

Yeah. And she still married me in spite of it all. She truly is special.

/Valerie sobs in frustration at not having the technology to be able to post the pics from the July Chicago concert...

I have a scanner, but the cord is lost.

Hey, maybe Santa will bring me a digital camera for Christmas! I've been very, very good this year! Well...

vch

The only photo of me i have scanned at the moment is one of me in a towel..rather low sitting..towel.. it was taken by my finacee like the day i got home from a tour i did with my band, want me to post it?? LOL!! I can't be blamed for eye sight problems if you do!

Cheers

Okay..here's me in my "serious" mode.My friend was taking a series of "emotion" pictures and I got chosen to be the subject.

you look like Buffy VS

me and my sisters in our garden... quite a while back though


one of my sisters and me with my baby brother. he was so tiny.. hell, he's 15 now!!! so i was about 7 on that photo...

Buffy huh? I don't see it..but thanks,I'll take that as a compliment. And I love your childhood pictures Silke..you guys looks like you had a blast growing up together.

Brandi

Brandi, While I'm not a Buffy watcher, I can see it.. You actually look like someone just said "Neil cancelled his Washington DC date".

Silke, I agree it does look like a fun childhood.

If I can get the time after the holidays, I'll see if I can dig up some old pics of me - from back when there was hair!

Geddy - Yeh,that's pretty much the expression I'd have if that happened..which it BETTER not BTW.Thankfully Neil usually sells out the 9.30 Club,so I don't have to worry about cancellation due to poor ticket sales..so right now all is good. And I've never been told I look like Buffy before..or anyone famous for that matter.Cool beans!

Brandi

from a year ago at a wedding...
