Two morning things

[mrissa]

1. I have misjudged the opening time of the massage place. It opens at 9:00, not 8:00. Ah well. One will get by for another hour, drinking the last of the white cranberry peach juice and perhaps reading a bit more of Moonwise.

2. I got lefse spam in my inbox this morning. Lefse spam. From Colorado. Let's think about that, shall we? I own a lefse roller and a lefse turner. I live in the Promised Land. And I should order lefse from Colorado? Um, no. No, and also no.

Still, lefse spam. It was kind of neat.

Unlike spam lefse, which is horrible beyond anything I want to contemplate.

It looks something like a tortilla but is made out of potatoes. It's one of the foods ScanAms brought with us from the old country, and for the most part the old country stopped making it. Hot lefse with butter is heavenly.

Sounds yummy!

I wish I thought we'd have time to make lefse this year, but alas; I am somewhat dubious. But because I live in the Promised Land, I can buy a comparatively acceptable substitute at the grocery store of my choice.

Do we have a state anthem? Because I would really like to sing it about now.

"L.A.'s got the climate,
Boston's got the sea,
Denver's got the Rockies,
Minnesota's got to me."

Works for me, anyway.

You'll have to sing me the tune for it on Sunday, if you sing tunes, because I don't know that one.

Nate Bucklin claims to have once heard me singing on key, but mostly it's not guaranteed, though it happens unexpectedly.

I did Google for it, which got me the name of the composer but not any lyrics. I don't know them all. But it has mosquitoes in it.

So a high-pitched whining sort of song, then, with the mosquitoes? Too bad I'm an alto.

Well, if you know anybody who sings tunes and will sing it for me, that would be nice.

So yet another "old country" food that depends on new-world produce to make.

Yep. Sorting out what they actually ate before the New World produce got to be widespread always boggles me.
