Reasons I love my Scandinavian Hertigage

[bertine]

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!

I don't really like beef that much so it isn't my thing. I just remember that everyone look forward to the heart that I didn't have to feel bad about not wanting to eat it. Anyways, I was told that it wasn't really for kids.

Sweetbreads are ok if they are cooked right but I really didn't like them as a kid. I don't think I have had foie gras, weird. I'll try almost anything but I have such an aversion to hearts and brains. (Fried pig brains? Not my thing either (Actually should you even eat this anymore?)).

Sometimes I wish I could have been an adult at my grandparents farm. I would try so much more than I did as a kid.
