Lefse!!!


We made lefse the day after Thanksgiving! Lauren and Sandy came in, along w/ Andy and Eleanor. They brought their lefse grill as well, Andy brought 2 wonderful rolling pins he'd made, and we all brought our appetites! We had 2 rolling and cooking stations going, and we just rotated around the different "work stations" as we wanted to...so nobody was left rolling the whole time! The kids ate and ate! Well, so did we adults! For those of you who don't know what lefse is, it is a Norwegian food...and since Lauren and I are Norwegian, and our spouses WISH they were (hee hee), we all enjoy it thoroughly. It is made of potatoes, cream, salt and flour. After being rolled thin, it is baked on a big round HOT grill....just briefly on each side! Then we eat it warm w/ butter and sugar! YUM!
I love the wrinkled nose on Byron. He had 5 in a row at the beginning!

Eleanor busy rolling! All the kids rolled except Bryon...not sure how he got missed! Guess he was too busy eating!
Sandy's a pro! See....it pays to be married to a Norwegian! It rubs off on you!

Jared's turn! The kids all did great! This is when to teach them! Already this year, Kelsey was a huge help! She did lots of rolling!
Kelsey kept running up to her dad with her floury hands and "getting him" on his cheeks...of course he had to retaliate! This went on a number of times....after their 10 minutes on the time-out chair, we thought it would be a good idea to get a picture!

This is the pile that was left...I'm sure we ate just as many!

I have enjoyed your pictures from the past! What a neat idea. And the lefse looks great! You must be some Norwegians or something ;0)
