And it's not even December 10th!*Merujo told me Norway's the "Place of the Week" at National Geographic.
And Washington DC's celebrating Norwegian Christmas for the 10th time. And my Canadian friend R suddenly told me they eat lutefisk at Christmas. (No, they're not Norwegian Canadians..)
Is the world going Norwegian on me??

Det er nok jeg som har hatt en finger med i spillet her, jeg prover a fornorske verden... Neida, men det hadde i grunn vart goy!
Hmmm..I just listened to Norwegian Wood by the Beatles and last night ate cod from Norway (but that's definitely not new)...
all I know about Norway was from watching the american show "Golden Girls" and Betty White was from Norway (mmm, I think!) and she was just soooo funny... lutefisk? ulk..I don't think so!
Apparently lutefisk is a big thing among immigrant communities in Minnesota, too. How does it taste...cause it sounds horrible! I'm sure they have it here too, but I can't get the boyfriend to admit to it.
The town where I grew up has a large Norwegian- and Swedish-American population, and you cannot avoid lutefisk at the holidays. It used to be that my friends' parents would tell me that I didn't have to eat it, since I was the "Irish kid", but a couple of years ago, I discovered that, as an adult, I no longer got a pass. So I put some lutefisk on my plate. And there it stays, all evening. :-)
