- 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. 4372. wabbit - 9/8/2008 12:35:42 AM t'ful, I sure hope you are keeping a diary! 4373. jexster - 9/8/2008 9:07:20 PM My cat sucks her tail
Goes to the bathroom every time I do
and whenever I take pants off or put on, jumps down my leg to play JackInTheBox or is it "Tigress"? 4374. robertjayb - 9/8/2008 10:21:01 PM Twisted kitty... 4375. thoughtful - 9/8/2008 10:29:06 PM Jex, your cat must be related to Cas....he's the weirdest animal we have ever owned. Who ever heard of a cat who couldn't climb trees? I swear, when they were handing out the brains, he was in the fur line. 4376. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:46:50 AM She's looking more like a house all the time. Windows added.
