I was just looking up recipes for Norwegian cooking.  I also looked up Viking, but that seemed a little undoable to me.  Found some great recipes for current Norwegian, including Swedish meatballs that are, I guess, popular in Norway.  (Of course, called something else.)  Other recipes were for baked lemon salmon and seafood bisque with shrimp.  Will try to put some on here:

I couldn't get it in english.  Henrik, do any of those other dishes sound authentically Norwegian?  

I am definitely making it a priority to find lingonberries.  Dr. Oz said they are 10 X or 100X the antioxidant value of blueberries.  Anyway, they are definitely good for you.  And I never met a berry I didn't like.

I was thrilled today when I went to a large, local grocery store.  Thought I would check out international section & found Scandinavian.  Better than that, the man who runs the section is an international cook & said he would help with any dinner we had.  They didn't have fresh lingonberries, but had wonderful preserves with whole berries.  Taste a lot like cranberries and my new favorite fruit.  Got these little crostades (sp?) that are like tiny paper thin pie tarts to put some of preserves in for dessert.  

I guess we ought to shoot for a fri. at 2 PM EDT or 1PM EST, 7 PM in London, 8 PM in Norway, 11 AM on U.S. west coast.  How about 11/11 or 11/18?

Either date is fine with me.

Salmon all ready in freezer for the big event!

I can do the 11th. I'll be on the lookout for lingonberry jam. What a great contact in your grocery store Roxanne!

We will set it tentatively for 11/11/11, at 2PM Eastern Time.  Does time shift back an hour in England & Norway?  Or is that just US?  If not, we could set it an hour later.

Greyartist, you mentioned wanting to come.

I'm also not sure of time.  Standard Time starts here in States on 11/7, so we move back an hour.  Does that also happen in England & Norway?  Let me know, someone, so we can figure out times.
I think England has moved back their hour now but I don't know about Norway.

I looked it up & it looks like all of Europe goes back an hour on 10/31.  So time stands.  7 PM for England; 8 PM for Norway: 2 PM for eastern US; 11 AM for western US.  I believe 11 PM for India.  

I'm turning into a lingonberry, I like them so well.

Works for me, unless something suddenly comes up. Kinda hard to tell at this point. xD
I'll be there! Lingonberries or not :)

Remember dinner tomorrow.  There are some recipes on this thread.  I'm having salmon (recipe), roasted potatoes, fresh peas (anyone know how to cook them - I guess just shell & boil?), cucumber salad, fresh bread with lingonberry jam & lingonberry tart for desserts.  Yum Yum!

Anyone know any Scandinavian poetry?  I did get out my Beowolf, but nothing really struck me.

I'm making cardamom rolls for sure. I just got home from work and I may peruse the recipes and head out to the store later for something else to cook. I wish I had found some lingonberry jam to have too :(  Maybe I'll make some of the potato pancake recipes, sounds yummy.
