Sounds good! At my old church (before they went insane!) I was just to the point where the Church Basement Ladies were going to teach me to make Lefse. Still mad about that!

We used to have a huge fundraiser each year with all Norwegian foods. I got to be in charge of the Pies one season and man did we go through the pies! Hundreds of them - all homemade and all so good! :)

No idea what lefse is so I looked it up - here’s what it is for any other non-Norwegians :-)

Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread. It is made with riced potatoes, can include all purpose (wheat) flour,[1] and includes butter, and milk, cream,[2] or lard.[3] It is cooked on a large, flat griddle. Special tools are used to prepare lefse, including a potato ricer, long wooden turning sticks and special rolling pins with deep grooves.[Wikipedia]

Talking about serviceberrys, I was cleaning out the asparagus and right next to me down the hill a bit is our closest serviceberry. The original tree snapped off heavy with ice one winter. This was probably 5 years ago, before we got our generator. I had extra water stored in the barn and on my way out to get it, saw the tree bend over and snap. Hubby saw it too. It was heartbreaking, then I saw a twig of growth below where it snapped. The next day I nagged hubby until he went down there and did a clean cut and a spray on the trunk. You can see in the red circle that the twig has grown considerably and the tree has a new crown. Just starting to bud out. Love that tree! 0-02-01-a80be2e47720
