Happy St. Urho's Day!

[Bekah]

We eat lutefisk my mom's Norwegian way - boiled and served with  
melted butter,  salt and pepper.  Ate it every year for Christmas  
until I was 20 or so,  and then intermittently since then.   Never  
had it in March but I found it by accident and so it seemed like St.  
Uhru's Day was a good reason.  (heh)  I love it but my great aunt  
would have starved before she ate that stuff.   It's not as smelly as  
it used to be - the processing is different.
