Glad you got to enjoy Ponds. It’s a little known secret of uptown Watertown. Great service and good food, I’m surprised you didn’t have a roll…everytime we go there we say we are just going to eat lunch and no dessert but EVERYTIME we end up having a roll because they are so good!!! Hope you enjoyed your trip to Watertown!!! Also the little old Ladies gather there every Wed for lunch…they are quite the gals. If they had seen you I bet they would have invited you over to join them!! Thanks again for the blogs..they are fun to read!!!!!

You got me, Glen. Try going to http://www.holidayvacations.net it will bring up their page and asks for a keyword.
The keyword is Keloland. Try printing it out from the brochure that comes up. If it too is in another language you might have something switched wrong on your printer. But I really have no idea.
Good luck.

Per Pal,

Does the term “cholesterol bomb” come to mind? Sounds good though!!

Tried to print the brochure on the Alaska trip and it wasn’t in English. What’s wrong?

When ever we make hamburgers at home….we do it the “Norskie Way”….and that would be butter on the bun…REAL butter….then fry the hamburger on the grill (not a “grate grill” but a genuine grill or fry pan)….and put the bun on the last minute or two…. There’s just NOTHING like it…. We also have a slicer to slice onions REAL thin….Really thin…then fry them in some butter and some of the “drippings” from the hamburgers “til golden brown”….And then to add the ultimate…. (Remember Mike’s Eat Shoppe in Brookings?) Some of Mike’s “secret sauce”… and that’s some Mayo…some Ketchup…and a “touch of oregano”–all stirred together and left to “rest” just a short time…..(Remember..Mike was Greek)… plus a little salt and pepper… Ja…we like some lettuce and some sliced tomato on top too….Ja…I know many of you are “grill fans”….which in my opinion dries the heck out of the burger and they taste like gas or worse………but, once you get a real grill (not the charcoal kind of grill) or a real large fry pan and do your burgers that way…. Well… delige..smakke godt… (delicious..tastes good) Hope you try it this way…. I think this is the way God intended Burgers to be made….The Norskie Way…. Per Pål Peterson
