We Got Flour

You know you're jealous of her mad rolling pin skillz!











And I'm so grateful for all of the help with the lefse stick!









You may think by looking @ this picture of Lydia that we were making lefse in the middle of July, but no, she is just dressed unseasonably.


On Sunday, Robin & Jaime came to our house to make lefse. Lefse is a tradition in our family. So is lutefisk, but we want no part of that. (Sorry Grandpa). I don't know if it was the recipe (my grandma's) or the people who were trying to make it, but the dough was very hard to work with and the lefse didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. But we had a great time. And I'm sure we'll be done wiping the fine layer of flour dust off of every surface in the kitchen before the holidays roll around. And as it turns out, the person who had the most success rolling out & grilling the lefse? One Miss Lydia Marcela.

Trust me, you want NO part of the lefse recipe that we were involved in. The dough was practically running through our fingers!
