Tis the season
> What a wonderful surprise tonight to arrive at mom’s and discover her “in production,” creating the delicious ethnic delight known as lefse. This tasty treat is most often on the menu around the holidays, and this year will be no exception. Mom was trying out a different recipe (from the church recipe book), so I was obliged to taste the product, pass judgment. Mom, cook/baker extraordinaire, is incapable of producing anything that does not classify as delicious. Potato lefse, butter, sugar, cinnamon; cut, rolled and consumed, bite by bite. A classic Scandinavian moment. And I left with a “doggie bag,” too. Mmmm.
