And Thor said: Let there be lefse! Part 1

It's been awhile....let's see if I remember how to do this blogging stuff.

So, I'm part Norwegian. I'm mostly Swedish, but the Norwegian in me had a burning desire to make lefse. Okay, so it was really kt's idea, but I liked it and went along with the plan. First, find someone who has made lefse and has the necessary equipment. Called Mom, she had most of the stuff we needed and has actually witnessed lefse making, so she was "drafted".

Mom arrived on Friday night and we started our little adventure with a trip to the antique store that was selling everything for 75% off and going out of business. Then we went to Kohl's, then out to dinner. With adult beverages.

After dinner, kt and I peeled 10 pounds of potatoes and put them on the stove to boil. After they were cooked, Mom and I riced them, added all the other ingredients (except flour) and put this mixture in the fridge to cool overnight.

Fast forward to Saturday morning......kt arrives and we get going......


Add the flour.....






Gather the tools.....






Heat the grill to 500 degrees fahrenheit! Hot mama!!!!








Feel the gluten. (We still don't know what that means...)





Cute little lefse balls!
