Italian Dinner -- Norwegian style! (Wednesday, Day 7)

For breakfast, I had blåbær syltetøy on brød (blueberry jam on bread.) For lunch, I had leftovers from last night's dinner -- kylling og ris, mais salat med agurk, tomat og fersk kål, med Ravigotte saus (chicken and rice, corn salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and fresh cabbage, with Ravigotte sauce – tastes a lot like Kraft French Salad Dressing, they use it as a dipping sauce for fish, chicken, and meatballs.)

CindyLee and Anka said that they would gladly give references for me, so I'm ready to start applying for jobs with the State Archives.

We went to Laila's home above Moelv for dinner tonight. She made spaghetti and meatballs(?), Norwegian style. We had a nice salad, spaghetti & meatballs, baguette bread, and Coke for dinner. Here, they brown the hamburger and serve it separately from the sauce, so you serve yourself your spaghetti noodles, then cover it with as much browned hamburger as you want, then spoon the sauce over the top of everything. The baguettes were baked in a way that they were like a line of mini-breadloafs, so you could break off one at a time to eat. For dessert, Laila served us some caramel ice cream with ripsbær (VERY sour red currants) with some sugar -- delicious!

  1. Sweet cousin, Thanks so much for emailing this link. What a treasure that you are there with our family. My favorite parts of your trip thus far is the huckleberry jam, because Grandma Wold made fabulous huckleberry pie, and anything huckleberry reminds me of her. I still miss her often, and my heart is happy to know she watches over us. Also, have you been able to hold the walking stick? You should upload pictures ASAP!! Also, sorry I missed the reunion, Robert got an urgent call from his clinic here in Ft Lauderdale, and we left the 27th of July. We figure, the school owns him until his doctorate is completed! It was so wonderful seeing you, and your Mom. I will call next time we are in town, Love, Jenny PS, tell ALL your siblings I miss them! (when you return!)
