Lefse: think crepes or a small flour tortilla, but made with potato flour instead. Rather delicate, slightly sweet, meant to be spread with some sort of sweet filling, and often made around holiday time in Minnesota and Norway (lefse's original home.)

Lingonberry: a Scandinavian berry similar to cranberries, but less tart and pungent, and I think they taste better. Usually made into preserves, they accompany lefse, Swedish meatballs and IKEA furniture quite well ;)

Lefse is basically a potato tortilla. Made with mashed potatoes, cream, butter and flour and fried on a flat griddle. Bland by itself, wonderful with the right topping, i.e. Lingonberries and butter.

Lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) are to Scandinavians what blackberries are to Americans – an abundant wild fruit free for the taking by anyone with a basket, a harvesting fork, and the patience to pick through and clean their harvest. Produced by low, evergreen shrubs throughout Scandinavia's forests, the tart red berries are much smaller and juicier than their distant cousin, the cranberry. Bursting with natural preservatives and pectin, lingonberries were invaluable to earlier generations of Scandinavians, for they could be kept for months at room temperature simply by placing them in jars of water (vattlingon) or by stirring the raw berries with a small amount of sugar to make rårörda lingon, an easy lingonberry jam (no cooking required). If looking for lingonberries or lingonberry jam in ethnic European food markets, you may also find them called red whortleberries, cowberries, fox berries, mountain cranberries, mountain bilberries, or partridgeberries.
Pronunciation: LIN-GHUN-BERRIES

Thanks, I guess the point of my nosiness was that the one you're growing now will be first one to pop out of you.;)

Both sound really good right now. Matter of fact, I'd rather have some lefse for breakfast rather than the standard bowl of Kashi tomorrow morning...

Evening, Lodge. I think I might make some grits for dinner tomorrow night. Either that, or a spinach salad.

I set aside the whiskey for the night and I'm enjoying a little Ketel One. :)

Beauty.

Enjoying some Powers' whiskey while I finished season 2 of Californication. Then I found out that Season 3 isn't out yet on DVD. :mad:

And deal with my new trade proposal! Let's make a deal!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #109: It's the Offseason, now what?

Enjoy your booze tonight. I only had 1 beer. :eek:

I have to be up early (6a.m. to be exact) to go sell my jewelry at the craft fair.

Good Night, Lodge!

I dealt with it. That would be a step down in offense for me, I'm looking to sacrifice pitching to improve my offense a bit. I think I just helped my offense, picked up Justin Smoak, I have a feeling he's going to kick ***, and he's got a badass name.

Ok. I know I can't give up Casey, and can afford a reliever. I would like another SP, and/or a decent avg/ops bat.
