Sure beats mine. 2 hamburgers , no French fries from Rally's drive through
on way home from emergency room with wife. She had a back spasm and they
sent her to the in house ER for medication which knocked her out and she is
fine today. Did go to lowes on way home from ER to pick up a quart of stain
and found gallons of same stain on sale for 1 dollar more so I bought them
out.

Monday will be better. Best friend and his family are coming over for a big
Christmas dinner. 2 Rib prime rib roast beef, baked potatoes, garlic bread,
black forest cake and ice cream for dessert. Can't wait, I've been planning
this one for a long time.

Tilapia fillet, sliced green peppers, and a microwaved frozen bagel with a
little Smart Balance. I'm closing in on a 20# weight loss - unfortunately, I
have this habit of following up a good week by rewarding myself with a
weekend pigout at the Chinese buffet or KFC.

Carol made chicken and rice soup - thick enough to stand a table knife
in. Grilled some butter, parmesan, and garlic topped bread. A little
tomato and lettuce salad on the side.

Perfect for a cold, blustery winter evening on the Great Plains.

Tuna fish in a can AKA: Cat food.

It even smells like something only a cat would eat.

I don't get hungry enough to eat tuna fish in a can or turkey.

I dunno - every time I think about lutefisk, canned tuna smells better and
better.

Down here in sunny tropical Iowa we hold that in reserve for January and

I'm pretty sure the folks up near Lake Woebegone have already started on
the cream of mushroom casseroles.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Lew. Tuna from a can smells like a

In that case stuff it with black powder. Might want to fill its mouth

Witness lutefisk.

Okay... I get it now...

Lutefisk is made from air-dried or salted/dried whitefish (normally
cod, but ling is also used), prepared with lye, in a sequence of
particular treatments. The watering steps of these treatments differ
slightly for salted/dried whitefish because of its high salt content.
The first treatment is to soak the stockfish in cold water for five to
six days (with the water changed daily). The saturated stockfish is
then soaked in an unchanged solution of cold water and lye for an
additional two days. The fish will swell during this soaking,
attaining an even larger size than in its original (undried) state,
while its protein content decreases by more than 50 percent, producing
its famous jelly-like consistency. When this treatment is finished,
the fish (saturated with lye) has a pH value of 11–12, and is
therefore caustic. To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet
another four to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily)
is needed. Eventually, the lutefisk is ready to be cooked.
In Finland, the traditional reagent used is birch ash. It contains
high amounts of potassium carbonate and hydrocarbonate, giving the
fish a more mellow treatment than would sodium hydroxide (lyestone).
It is important to not incubate the fish too long in the lye, because
saponification of the fish fats may occur, effectively rendering the
fish fats into soap. The term for such spoiled fish in Finnish is
saippuakala (soap fish).

THENNNNNNNN traditionally, people drink a boatload of Akvavit. Before,
during and after eating 'soap-fish'.

Now, I have eaten raw-fresh-from-the-North-Sea herring with a couple
of belts of Akvavit.

I saw the light. I have been to the mountain top.

It's worth looking up lutefisk on Wikipedia. Skip the recipe part and

That must have been when I was under 10, 55 years ago. Thereafter there
wasn't enough herring in the North Sea anymore to feed 1 Dutchman for a
month, and the Dutch fishing fleet went after the Georges bank herring (or
wherever). Also, because of a small parasite in the herring, ll herring is
flash frozen (to kill the nasties). Nevertheless, Hollandse Nieuwe, and
all other "fresh" herring is a delicacy to be consumed with some chopped
onion with head tilted back, holding the raw fish by the tail.

A trawler would come into Katwijk, and we'd on the dock, diced onions
on a plate, ready....
I was born and raised in Alphen Aan Den Rijn, formerly known as
Castellum, a Roman Toll was there at the only bridge across the river
Rhine..a little less than 2000 years ago.
Every time they dig a new foundation (where they can) they usually

By Golly!

You ought to be in the Guiness book of records :-)

Why? Holland was at the Northern edge of the Roman empire. In fact, a
sort of road in a hill near where I grew up was rumored to have been a
Roman road. We just used it to sled down along. I have a picture of the
"Holleweg" or Hollow road, see abpw in a bit.

Like Robatoy, I grew up in Holland. I moved to the US when I was 24 (J1
visa), then stayed as immigrant, and finally naturalized. Woodworking
came by necessity, I couldn't afford to buy the furniture ...

Where does the Guinness book of records come in?
