Happy St. Urho's Day!

[Bekah]

Isn't that fish soup?   I think the lutefisk will cover the fish for  
the evening (thank you).   But yes,  I really ought to make some  
meatballs or lefse or green peas or something to go with it.  We  
cannot live by lutefisk alone.   Ahhh!   Green peas and pickled  
purple beets.   A little rhubarb pie for dessert?   LOTS of coffee -  
No aquavit.
