My wife is out of town, so it looks like cheese, crackers, summer sausage, herring, beer, and lefse for dinner!

Oh, and Beer Nuts.

She's in Deer River, and I'm in Anchorage. That seems backwards.

Two statements from a hybrid Norwegian:

No self-respecting Norse would eat lutefisk. It was just a cruel joke played on the emigrants when they left the homeland and it stuck.

Lefse is a savory - that means ketchup and meatballs, beef or pork roast if you must, but no sugar and cinnamon. Buttermilk gets sugar and cinnamon.
