Lutefisk, boiling potatoes (to be riced), potato lefse, frozen green peas steaming, raw cranberry sauce w/ oranges and apples mixed in, melted butter......those are the smells of home, Christmas, Mom, Dad; warm and welcoming, all are only memories now. I still enjoy lutefisk and whatever else I can achieve from that list. 'Course there is only one correct way to serve lutefisk; lots of ways to get it wrong - probably why it has a bad rep.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
