Hey, I was kidding guys! It was a play on words. idol (idle) – lazy. Get it? Oh well, maybe only true English speakers got it.

As for that fish, I tried it once. The secret is to drink lots of akvavit in between bites. It’s still disgusting though.

You’re so gadget focused and yet you don’t have a backup generator? I’m disappointed in you ;)

We lose power quite often here so I got a whole house generator installed with automatic transfer switch – the power goes out in winter and while all the neighbors are looking for a hotel room I am nice and comfortable.

P.S. I blame the ants too.

John is probably upset by the fact that the time slot for a favorite cooking show “A Thousand and one tails – an odyssey in the preparation of Lutefisk” – was taken over by American Idol.
I’m told by many of my friends out Nor-way that it’s a sore subject of much bitterness.
But hey, we cling to HD, gadgets and Idol, they cling to rotten fish soaked in lye – who’s to judge?
