Hello!

Welcome to the Voda Community! .. I am not from Sweden but we can still make great friends I hope! haha

Welkommen til VodaLand, Arve! Hvoordan snukke til?

Jeg ar Norsk, fra Drobak og Tofte/Filtvet pa Olso fjorden! Magne bra Norsk i VodaLand, og takk fer det!

Takk fer de aften, og ha dag!
Versagodt!

Since when can you speak like that Eric? Haha! .. or is it that famous translator? Haha!

{{ Sigh }}

I simply welcomed Arve to VodaLand, told him I have family from Drobak (Ringedammen, actually) and Tofte/Filtvet (on the Oslo fjord), and that there were many other Norweigens here...and that I appreciated talking with him, wishing him a good day.

Leftover converstional skills from a solo travel in 1976, so nothing "artificial" going on in my house....

Oh wow! Well good for you Eric .. it's always great to know more than one language.

Tack Vasili det var göy å lese litt norskt.Min mamma har sommersted i Stavern ikke så langt ifra stabekk.selv kommer jeg fra BERGEN.

Have a great evening.

LOL

Makes me think of the old joke (no offense intended!): Is Bergen Norway?

I have been to all of the places you mention, and I enjoyed myself immensely. And....thanks for your kindness. I think you will have a grand time in our Community!

Living in Sweeden, have you told this one yet?
"Ten thousand Sweedes ran through the weeds, chased by a crippled Norweigen!"

Probably doesn't go over very good at dinner, does it?

The old joke is true!
Jeg kommer ikkje fra Norge,eg kommer fra Bergen..............
Bergen are a very wet place on earth.
This winter they have had rain for 85 days 24/7

Welcome ARVE! Well, I'm not Swedish either, but hey...my first husband was Swedish, does that count! lol About the only thing I remember from that marriage was that I loved scorpa (probably not spelling that right). The one you dunk in coffee! Would love to have the receipe for that. Do you have one?

Lot's of fun, knowledgeable people here in Vodaland, so make yourself at home!

SKORPA

Arve

Thornes

LOL Arve; A Great Viking Man such as yourself, really should be a baking man too! haha Yes, I'm kidding. 1st marriage lasted 18 years, remember it well. Have 2 WONDERFUL grown sons from that marriage. First 5 years were great. went downhill after that. But I do remember the SKORPA. Hey...I found a wonderful Swedish Grandmothers receipe. For anyone intrested.. Great!! I think I'll bake some this weekend.

Rusks (Skorpa) - the Recipe and the Memory


Rusk or Skorpa (Swedish Toast)
Skorpa is a traditional Scandinavian coffee (kaffe) time treat.

My Grandmother Peterson's kitchen was well known for it's sweet aroma of skorpa' and fresh brewed coffee. My grandmother's hospitality was even warmer than her cozy kitchen with a beautiful wood cook stove and big round table. At 3pm ***** it was kaffe time at the Peterson's and anyone was welcome. I loved being there at 3 because you never knew who would drop by and my grandmother always kept little cakes for just such an occasion and always there was skorpa in the warming oven on the big stove. Skorpa was wonderful for dunking into hot cocoa! Her cake tins never became empty and the warming oven was never without skorpa staying dry and toasted. How did she manage that? Then one day it dawned on me - "love kept them full!"

I have made this recipe many times:

Rusks (you can make half a recipe if you want - but you'll be sorry )

4 cups Milk
2 Tblsp yeast
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs - beaten lightly
1 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
13 cups of white (unbleached) flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp ground cardamom

With the new yeasts these days - follow the instructions on the package. And add accordingly.
Heat the milk until just lukewarm. Add all liquid ingredients.
Add 3 cups of four and beat until smooth - beat in sugar, salt and cardamom.
Mix in the rest of the flour as per regular bread instructions.
And follow your regular bread making method. Bake in loaf pans as per standard bread recipes.
When done remove from pan and let cool until the next day.

Slice all the loaves into finger size rectangles. Place rectangle pieces of bread on cookie sheets and put in oven at very low temperature 170' to 200'. The rusks must toast and dry all the way through each piece. This may take 2 or 3 hours. Better yet at the end of about 2 hours or so - turn the oven off and leave them in the oven for a few more hours.
Perfect for dunking' into hot cocoa or fresh brewed coffee.

Well I thought this thread for vikings only, but I see other non-vikings are here........how about witches? lol

lol arve ... you need to insert an image on this board via a .jpeg format or a .gif format, so save it in those formats from adobe ...

then you can either insert it via the yellow button that looks like it has a mountain on it, if you have the url of the image, the address where the image is hosted, perhaps on photo bucket or something ...

or you can attach it as an attachment ... scroll down a little further from where you are typing when you are making your post, and you will see, Attach files ... then you upload it from your computer ...

Now ... the movie ... Witch?? Are you talking about "Give Me the EYE" ... Clash of the Titans ... one of my favorites ... If not, hit me again, lol

:)
