I looked up your Lefse...I love the original tradition. Wish the next, and the next generation would follow it.
My grandparents are from Scicily and Naples..
Both my mom, and dad...they didn't like each other LOL.. But gosh the old original recipes, WOW. I make many, but my oldest daughter replicates my Sicilian grandmothers italian cookies for holidays...I won't be allowed to reveal the speech she uses to explain the amount of work, of course from scratch...and you know, she has modern equipment! Grandma had her hands. You guys cheered me up today...I lost my dog Lucy Feb 9th, lymphoma...and 3 weeks ago, my precious big Labrador, Maverick was diagnosed with bone cancer...im keeping him as comfortable as can be...heart wrenching to say the least. Thanks guys...I just may whip up a lefse...your invited!

Hi @dazlin, I'm really sorry to hear about Lucy and Maverick. They do become family members and it's hard when you lose them. I haven't had a dog since the first few years of our marriage. We had two mutts that we got as puppies from the pound. I accidentally stepped on one when I was feeding them and broke her back...cried for many days and finally had to have her put to sleep. Then we had to give the other one away because she keep digging out of the yard to find someone to play with while we were at work.

I would settle for a picture of warm, freshly made lefse if you make some. My wife's mother lived with us for many years and that's when my wife really learned how to make lefse the old fashioned way. Her mom came from a family of 14 brothers and sisters. Their parents were from Norway and her grandmother died in childbirth with one of the first 6 or 7 kids. Her grandfather went back to Norway to get another wife and had the other kids with her. No television in those days ☺ I had never heard of "hotdish" before I married a girl from Minnesota.

Maybe we should start a new discussion on the health benefits of lefse? There has to be some...right?

@dazlin Inviting this crowd might be more than what you bargained for - but since you did not give us your location I guess you are safe!
