Ok..so what does a person do when it is raining in Northern Minnesota and you are home alone? We’ll if you are living your second childhood….possibly you find an old sock, a couple of buttons and a sewing needle and make a puppet. If you are really living that childhood…you might grab the dog, turn on the family video camera and make a movie.

When I was a little girl in Minnesota my mother and grandmother would make Swedish Keopkakker also known as Potato Dumplings. My mother would use the grease from the fry pan used to fry up the pork or ham and make a gravy to pour over the dumplings.
My oh my…we ate these up quicker than she could serve them up.
Left overs were sliced up and fried in butter.
We pronounced it “Crewb’-cah-cah” Oofta—My mouth waters just thinking about them!
Mom and Jitterbug
One weekend soon my daughter and I will be whipping up a batch to see if they taste as good today as they did some fifty years ago!
It’s a good thing she’s in nursing school…this might just be a heart attack in a pan…

Duluth\
Thousands of miles beyond in the new world…a Little Mermaid welcomes all to the shores of beautiful Duluth, Minnesota. Each holds in the hearts the promise of things to come.
A sad day in Denmark
In 2003 Vandals strike and topple the Denmark landmark into the sea…yet it rises from the waters and is firmly established on her rock…where she sits for all to enjoy today!
A sadder day in Duluth
In 2008 Duluth’s little mermaid meets with a mishap….and tumbles into the water unaided! A passerby pulls her from the waters below and today….she sits looking for a thousand foot “sh#tter” to enter the harbor.
For the one thousand foot Sh#tter story on Youtube please click the picture below or the word: OOFTA
