I've been told this is true for all nordi types...Hah! Maybe the men, but certainly not the women, my wife doesn't know the meaning of the word moody. She has two moods: Outgoing and gregarious. OK, maybe three: Outgoing, gregarious, and ecstatic.... :^) I'm the moody one in our family....
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
Well, I'm glad it's not a genetic predisposition, because I must admit, I'm not very tolerant of it.
I used to get so upset, wondering what was wrong...had I done something wrong? Can I fix it??
Then I had Matthew and decided I had one baby to take care of and wasn't taking care of two. I deal with a moody spell by saying "I'm going to ask you one time what is wrong...if there's nothing wrong, then stop pouting or you'll regret it."
He usually stops acting moody and I'm a ray of sunshine.

Well,
these are certainly not Oreos...
Maybe they're Pop Tarts...

Toaster strudels....
To: RMDupree
That's what I was thinking of but couldn't remember the name...
To: Corin Stormhands
I've never had toaster strudels...are they good?

"What the....."

So if it's pastry, it's definatly not a cake.
To: 2Jedismom
We don't buy them. That's why I couldn't remember the name...
To: Overtaxed
It looks good though, doesn't it! I'd buy it as a Lembas!

So if it's pastry, it's definatly not a cake. Point to OT.
"Cake team" you have two posts for rebuttal...
To: 2Jedismom
It doesn't look like a thin cake to me! :)
To: Overtaxed
"What the....."Everytime I look at the picture with that under it, I crack up!

Lefse is made from potatos and flour, like a tortilla, and buttered (sometimes with sugar) and rolled up in a long roll!
I don't think it is Lembas, but it does keep well, and is good solid food for keeping one going!

Lefse is more or less potato flatbreadYou are absolutely right. The pure version of lefse (correct spelling) is a somewhat bland potato bread that can be dipped in sugar or whatever.... My wife's family always makes a sweet version somehow, though, so I will check into it.
Norsland Lefse is now in its nineteenth year, producing traditional lefse and other Scandinavian treats from its small-town base in Southeastern Minnesota.
Why Norsland Lefse? "It's the Best" Our slogan has not changed. We still package the best lefse available.
Convenient packages to maintain freshness. Norsland Lefse, when kept frozen, will maintain its freshness for six months.
Delivered to your door - "Worry Free"
Makes any party or holiday event special. (Not homemade? When the package is hidden, no one will know.) A great gift idea to those who mean the most to you. Let Norsland take the work out of your gift giving. Call now.

I've been told this is true for all nordi types... Hey - I'm a Nordi-type! (Aurland Norway, to be specific!) We're not moody, we're just practical. When it is cold and rainy and dark outside, we admit we're cold and rainy and dark!

When compared to Pop Tarts they are very good. They are flaky and soft, instead of hard and stale tasting.
Not as good as a pastelito, but good eating just the same.
To: Overtaxed; Corin Stormhands; All
That picture definitely looks like a pop-tart!
Good afternoon, all! Back online with a new modem (old one apparently got fried during an electrical storm this morning).
Did I miss much, other than lembas recipes?

The pure version of lefse (correct spelling) is a somewhat bland potato breadYou guys are a bit "off" calling it a flatbread... good lefse is rolled very thin.... thinner than a flour tortilla. Rolled out with a textured (grooved) rolling pin until you can see the red lines on the pastry board through it.
[pride] I am the best lefse roller in a family who puts a lot of pride in good lefse... Even my grandmother was proud of my lefse at any family gathering.
The recipe contains only potatos, flour and butter, so it is not in itself sweet. But many butter and sprinkle sugar, or sugar and cinnamon, on it, then roll it up!
But I don't think lembas was anything like lefse!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Did I miss much, other than lembas recipes? Not so much recipes as trying to discern the true nature of lembas.
