Uff da!! My cousins are either pokey or stingy with their recipes. Not that many of them keep up with the traditions but still.....
I will have to travel thousands of miles to see them in person.
Uff da - ok this is a dead giveaway when a North American utters these two "words." Some people think it is swearing, others think it is like saying duh??? or 'gee whiz'. We were the gee whiz tribe.
I knew somebody who had personalized plates on his car. "UFFDA". This was in Alberta. Other people have stickers, "Honk if Your Norwegian." Of course, we don't honk. We say "Uff da, what is that guy thinking" and maybe we give him the Alberta salute. If you know what THAT means you are an Albertan.
My brother has an UFF DA coffee mug, and can also say "vær så god." I'm impressed.
While we are waiting endlessly for the authentic family recipes let us whip up a batch of cookies. A new family recipe. Baking Cookies for Dummies, no that doesn't sound right - Cookie Baking for Dummies, Take One.
EASY and Good Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
one cup peanut butter, one cup white (granulated) sugar and one egg.
Stir egg briskly with a fork and add in the peanut butter and sugar. Stir.
Roll into balls and flatten with a fork.
Bake for 12 minutes at 350 F - depends on - maybe a bit longer - very good.
Not Norwegian though.
