Read Superpowers!

My cousin, David J. Schwartz (snurri) has written a book, Superpowers that came out yesterday. If you live in the Minneapolis area he will be doing a book reading tomorrow at Dreamhaven Books, 912 West Lake Street in Minneapolis, at 7 PM and you should go. Otherwise you can buy his book and read it. This is what I will be reading this weekend.

Reasons I love my Scandinavian Hertigage

My mom spent the last couple days going through some of my grandparents stuff and she brought her recipes back. Here is one of my childhood favorites:

Cream and Sugar Lettuce Salad:
1 head butter lettuce
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons white cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar.

Break lettuce leaves into salad bowl. Stir together thoroughly cream, vinegar, and sugar. Pour cream dressing over lettuce and toss gently. Makes 4 servings.



The Braised Stuffed Heart isn't a favorite of mine. It starts with "Wash heart, trim away hard parts and any outer membrane". Yuck!
