Lefse

About a week ago, Cat and I ventured into the city to participate in that great Scandinavian tradition that Ole alums do oh-so-well: making lefse.

Cat viciously guards the spatula that will save our lefse from the evil, lefse-sucking wooden board.

Ruth, the lefse expert, gives us all a lesson. Not too thick, not too thin, not too hot, not too cool, not too much flour, not too sticky...etc.

Cat vies for the "Most Creative Lefse" prize with her spectacular lion's head (she's even getting into the St. Olaf spirit!)

The contest entries. Notice the gigantic lefse front and center: that would be mine. Cat's lion is to the right. Together, they won us a sushi pen.

The professional judges

Afterward, we feasted. It was delicious.
