Uffda! Ishda! Feeda! Say it ain't so! A Norwegian who doesn't know what lefse is???
When I married Craig, I was adopted into the Norwegian culture, hook, line and lutefisk! Yes, I eat lutefisk at Christmas (now that's true love!). Craig's brother prepare's it and, if done properly, is flaky, not gelatinous. But that doesn't stop the lutefisk jokes from flying!
As for the lefse, we have all we want as Craig's dad is the lefse king. His business is Mrs. Olson's Lefse. http://www.mrsolsonslefse.com/ It is one of the largest lefse bakeries in the U.S. (and as funny as that may sound, you would be amazed at how many thousands of cases they ship - they even supply lefse for the Norwegian Pavillion at Disney World). Lefse spread with butter and sprinkled with sugar or cinammon sugar, rolled up and warmed is wonderful! But we use it for wraps, appetizers (cream cheese, ham, pickles rolled up and sliced), heck, even use it in place of a hot dog bun!
Now I'm getting hungry....
