We meet again on Day 4, of our Home for the Holidays Blog Hop!!! I'm really enjoying all the great projects, delicious cookie recipes & the great posts! I hope you are too! It's the first thing I hear many of you are doing in the morning with a cup of hot coffee! You might as well keep the coffee brewing...as we have many more days left on the hop!!!
If you missed yesterday's project.... Here it is! I love Loti's sweet little old fashioned sock! I also love that it is quick & easy!!!
Today I've been thinking about Christmas and lutefisk! I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with lutefisk!?!? If you're Norweign, you probably are very familiar with it!! {If you are not familiar with... that could be a very good thing!!!}.
I'm not fond of it, but here in Minnesota it's a traditional side to Holiday dinners- especially Christmas! What exactly is lutefisk? Well, lutefisk is dried whitefish (normally cod) treated with lye. It is a Notdic dish served in the Upper Midwest!

As far as I can remember back, it has been served at our Holiday dinners! You can't miss it- it smells horrible when being cooked and looks like flaky slime!!! However, now that those who enjoyed it have passed... I'd give anything to enjoy the day with them with that lutefisk!!! My grandmothers and mother LOVED it! Grandma Avis would role it up in her lefsa, while mom & Lily smothered it in butter!
So- if you visit MN during November, you will have to visit "Lutefisk Capital USA" Madison, MN... where lutefisk takes center stage at its annual Norsefest! And if you're really daring... You can even enter their lutefisk eating contest!!! Lol!!!
Ok... On with the hop!!! Today is Tracy, from Plumcute Designs Day! I've seen her darling little pillow design... you're going to love it! Before you head that way I'll share her recipe here and remind you of our Cyber Monday Online Event!
Please be sure to head over to Tracy's blog and print off another great Holiday project to enjoy!!!
Have a GREAT Monday and see you tomorrow back here snd see who's up next on the hop! Stacy
