    Christmas Food Traditions!

    My parents made two large british style fruit cakes one year, a couple of months before Christmas, and put them in the basement to "mature". But when Cristmas came, we could only find one of them, which was delicious. A year or two later, we re-discovered the second cake, and that was...

    Christmas Food Traditions!

    We allways eat wild animals, (is the english word "game" or something?) on christmass eve. Not a Norwegian tradition, only ours. We never thought about it until my sister was an exchange student in USA, and told her family that we usually eat reindeer and they reacted really stongly: "Oh my...

    Regaining the Christmas spirit...

    Ah, the julebrus! Every town and brewery/soda factory has it's own. As far as I know, the julebrus, (which literally means "christmas soda"), was introdused in the early 70s. That's when we got a new law, prohibiting advertising of alcohol and tobacco in Norway. Up until then, the traditional...

    Regaining the Christmas spirit...

    I've read that Terry Hatcher pours red wine in her bathtub, as it's supposedly good for the skin. So maybe a glass of this mulled wine in the tub will do the trick?:p Glad you liked the recipe, miss Neecerie. I also have a recipe for another mulled wine thing, the traditional Norwegian...

    Advice and ideas regarding proposals

    In the engagement-ring thread I wrote a little bit about my proposal. I proposed to my man, so off course I think that your idea is just terrific! I didn't kneel, but I proposed "properly" with ring and all on our 5 years anniversary day. He was thrilled! And it was really fun and romantic for...

    Regaining the Christmas spirit...

    I hope both things will get better for you and your mom. Many great suggestions here, I would also reccomend reading Dickens "A Christmas Carol". Or, less traditionally, Terry Pratchets "Hogfather". (That allways make me laugh and feel the christmas spirit at the same time.) Have a nice...

    Suggestion for a new vintage repro/inspired Clothing Line?

    How right you are! I am myself very picky about fabrics, a 5% man-made fiber in a blend is the most I can take! That is one of the reasons I love vintage, much better quality of fabrics. Rayon and viscose could be OK, thought, as that is a man made fiber made from natural wood pulp, so it...

    Mineral Make-up as stage make-up.

    Shoot! That might meen it wouldn't work with stage lights. Oh, well, it's still good for other more or less "theatrical" occations!

    Mineral Make-up as stage make-up.

    I thought I'd let you in on a little discovery I made last week. I was going to an theatrical event, and I was playing a cat. That means lots of make-up. I hate wearing that grease-paint make-up, it feels bad and is really bad for my pimple-prone skin. So decided to use my mineral eye-shadows...

    Daytime face vs Nighttime face?

    I am constantly over-dressed, either in face, clothes or both. To many dresses, to few occations! Sometimes, I put on a really nice dress an bright, red lipstick and my man puts on his fancy suit, to go down to the pub and meet friends dressed in jeans and sloppy t-shirts. We just say that a...

    Does your given name fit you?

    Hey, funny thread! Alas, since I am Norwegian, it's difficult to explain the things people think and feel when they hear my name. I can't even spell it right, since it has one of the strange non-american letters in it. To give it a shot: My name is Ingebjoerg, (or Ingebj-insert strange looking...

    Colonial Clothing....political?

    As the starter of the thread in question, I have to say that it is OK by me that it got closed. It might seem a bit harsh, but I can understand that this place sometimes needs strickt rules. Anyway, my point was not to start at discussion about veal or vegetarism, I just wanted an...

    What's so bad about veal?

    That is what is actually an argument that makes sense to me.(I don't mind eating the animals, no matter how cute, but I do care about how we treat them.) I guess that argument is the root of the original anti-veal idea, so you explained it all to me now. Thanks! BTW, would discussing the...

    What's so bad about veal?

    Allright, I'll hug it and kiss it first, it is darned cute. Then I will make it my cuddly cute little dinner.....:p Don't mind me, I'm only your resident norwegian viking barbarian! I'm so evil I even eat whale... Thanks for the explanations, everybody. But I still wonder. Anybody knows when...

    What's so bad about veal?

    As an outsider looking in at USA, through the window of movies, magazines, books, tv and such, I sometimes stumble across things I don't understand. And that is just irritating. The thing I wonder about right now is that I have noticed that a some Americans seems to think that eating veal is...
