y granite can stain and crack and needs to be sealed...and I've heard of people ruining their granite by sealing the kind that wasn't supposed to be sealed. what a mess.
We're avoiding that, tho not the cost, by going with caesar stone which is a manmade quartz product. Not only does it not need sealing and isn't as porous, but the slab is consistent so there's no need to hand select the stone as with natural stone.

Saturday, October 18, 2008
Mark your calendar for Sat., October 18, 2008 for our
annual Lutefisk Dinner. We are hoping ALL OUR MEMBERS
will find a time to help either of the day of the dinner,
or some of the preparation work needed. An important aspect
of our dinner is the fellowship starting with the planning
session at the end of August, the potato preparation
for the lefse, the lefse making, the meatball preparation,
the rommegrot preparation, the cranberry making, and
church cleaning, culminating with the dinner on Oct. 18th.
The potato preparation for lefse will begin on Sun.,
August 24th, and the rollers and bakers will begin on
August 25th at 8:00 am. The two “crews” will continue for
the next four Sundays and Mondays after the Labor Day
weekend. If you are able to help with either job please
contact either Ginny Johnson, Janet Castle, or Donna
Dybdahl.
The committee chairs will have their first meeting
the first part of September. Please contact either Patty
Herrling [798-2268] or Linda Watkins [767-3312—
work or 795-4714—home] to tell us how you would
like to help with the dinner. The choices are endless!!
Do you want to help in the kitchen? How about being
a waitress? Serving the food from the kitchen? Cooking
some of the food? Bake goodies for dessert or
prepare to serve? Learn to make rommegrot or cranberries?
This dinner’s proceeds provides us with the majority
of our mission budget for the year. In the past it has
helped fund our LECA mission fund, the youth of our
church, the endowment fund, and some special projects
with our church.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME!

4355. magoseph - 8/26/2008 11:42:15 PM Hi, Robert. 4356. robertjayb - 8/27/2008 12:12:50 AM 'Lo
Do you have lutefisk suppers in your part of the state? 4357. magoseph - 8/31/2008 12:53:42 PM It is said that about half the Norwegians who immigrated to America came in order to escape the hated lutefisk, and the other half came to spread the gospel of lutefisk's wonderfulness.
- Norwegian-American saying
In Minnesota and Wisconsin, you can find lutefisk in local food stores and even at some restaurants. It is a food that you either love or hate, and, as some people say, "Once a year is probably enough!"
During the fall in Wisconsin, people watch their local newspapers for announcements of lutefisk suppers, which are usually held in Norwegian churches. usually every Norwegian church will host at least one lutefisk supper between October and the end of the year. The dinners have become so popular that lovers of the special dish drive great distances, and these are not just people of Scandinavian descent. 4358. alistairconnor - 9/3/2008 8:42:55 AM So, Mago : I just saw the Coen bros film, Fargo, the other day. What's that accent that they all have? Are they all of Norwegian stock? (except for the funny-looking guy of course) 4359. thoughtful - 9/3/2008 1:42:06 PM Windows arrived...hopefully they'll be installed soon... 4360. thoughtful - 9/3/2008 1:42:22 PM toys! 4361. judithathome - 9/3/2008 3:13:26 PM Fargo accents are MinneSOtan...via Hollywood. 4362. jexster - 9/4/2008 6:03:49 PM Dealt with many cats in my day but this one is the weirdest. EVERY time I go into the bathroom she follows to her pan..whether she has to go or not
Last night I had to get her out of the way of straightening up the place so I picked her up ...she caught her image in the mirror did a double take WENT BALLISTIC shredded my arm and flew into hiding
When she came out..she spent 30 minutes stalking the bathroom just to make sure the other cat had departed 4363. magoseph - 9/4/2008 8:44:48 PM That is very funny--I needed the laugh! 4364. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 9/4/2008 10:44:08 PM Ahh-- frisky innocence in all its joy and beauty! 4365. concerned - 9/4/2008 11:25:37 PM Dealt with many cats in my day but this one is the weirdest. EVERY time I go into the bathroom she follows to her pan..whether she has to go or not
Why not try not eating out of her bowl?
4366. Jenerator - 9/5/2008 2:17:01 AM Thoughtful,
I have really enjoyed watching your home come together. 4367. thoughtful - 9/6/2008 2:37:13 PM Thanks Jen...I've enjoyed it too.
We're now classifying the monthly checks we're writing by autos...last month it was only a nissan...the month before it was a bmw...next month it's supposed to be really high, but we're hoping for something less than a bentley! Project mgr tells us after that they'll be more like kias. That's the good news...the bad news is they'll be coming more frequently!
Yikes! 4368. Jenerator - 9/7/2008 2:08:38 AM Having a (small) glass of Basil Hayden's tonight
 4369. judithathome - 9/7/2008 2:21:51 AM Looks great...have one for me, too! 4370. Jenerator - 9/7/2008 2:36:29 AM :-) 4371. wabbit - 9/8/2008 12:35:20 AM Hey, AC, that funny looking guy is Steve Buscemi, a very good character actor. One of my favorite movies is Living In Oblivion and stars Buscemi and the equally fab Catherine Keener.
