The warm and whimsical Patrice Johnson recounts her Minnesota childhood as a Catholic kid in a household where children weren't allowed in the kitchen, her "Lutheran envy," and how bacon could perhaps be the key to bringing lutfisk* to new generations.
*Norwegians eat "lutefisk;" Swedes eat "lutfisk." Look it up.
Jul: Swedish American Holiday Traditions by Patrice Johnson is published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press.
