My husband, daughter and I went strawberry picking Sunday…we had our video camera along and of course she didn’t miss a chance to broadcast the fun, on the Northland’s NewsCenter.
Like Mother–Like Daughter. Oofta those berries were tasty. Last night I tried to make strawberry jam…today it is still not setting up. So I guess I’ll have to go to plan B. Strawberry sauce!

Oofta! Potato Dumplings!
July 17, 2008 · 7 Comments
Ode to Swedish Potato Dumplings!
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…

Oofta. That’s a cute little jet!

- Cirrus \
The roar of a mini jet could be heard over Lake Superior today, as Cirrus Design launched “The Jet.” Watching this little bird fly overhead I couldn’t help think what George Jetson might thinkabout this little mode of transport. Oofta. Don’t you know…George, his lovely wife Jane, daughter Judy and their boy Elroy could fit in this little seven seater dream…with room left over for Astro and Rosie! Heck there would even be room left over for Mr. Spacely! For the right price….your family might one day soon own it’s own little jet.
Here is a quote from today’s news media event at the Duluth International Airport.
“We don’t have to change this image of pilot to superman,” said Alan Klapmeier. ” We should all be pilots. This isn’t a big deal. You can drive a car, you can fly an airplane, what else do you want to do today?”
Believe it or not, four hundred folks have ponied up 100-thousand dollars each as a deposit to make one of these “million dollar babies” their own. The Jet will be coming off of the production line in 2011. I’ll be saving my pennies. Oofta wouldn’t that be a great way to commute?
Here is the Youtube press released from my beautiful city by the Big Lake.

Cook Book 1950
June 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment
This cook book was compiled by Women’s Club of Harris, Minnesota and published in 1950. Hilma was my grandmother. Her bread recipe is amazing!
I think however, there is a “type O” in the white bread recipe. It tells us to scald and cool 1 cup of milk and then add 1 cup of water. I believe that should be milk rather than water. Any ideas? My Grandma passed away in 1985.
Auntie (Mrs. Joe) created the banana bread recipe it is wonderful as well.
