Friday I spent the day with the lovely M and her fantastic parents. We have made a bit of a tradition out of going to her parent’s place before christmas to [learn how to] make ‘lomper’, which is like a really flat, eh, potato cake. Very scandinavian and very tasty.

Lomper!

It’s sounds easy enough; you grind potatoes (twice), add a bit of salt, cut the dough in smaller pieces and flatten them on a surface covered with flour using a rolling pin. The real tricky part is getting your perfectly flattened piece of potato dough over to the griddle without tearing them. I can’t do this yet, but luckily our very own Obi-wan Karin was there to help us out.

M’s lovely parents (M is hiding her cute ass from the camera as always.. :), and me in an apron trying to work those.. wooden-thingies.

I am really loving this small tradition of ours and hope it will continue for years go come. I’m already looking forward to next year!

A bit of the view from Heimli. It’s located right next to the forest, and the place is so beautiful and quiet. It’s like coming home.
