My Grandma from Fort Dodge, IA made them for us all the time and my Dad and (step) mom have the recipe and has been fine tuning it for several years as it was basically a pinch of this, a bit of that type recipe. My daughter is carrying on the tradition with her (my father has since passed) and for the last two years all the girls in the family have gotten together to help make them and learn. My Aunt and Uncle both say they are just like "mom's" Can't wait - warm Kringlas and some butter with a glass of milk :-)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262002132246803715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166025511528097741.post-66336668644171683112013-12-21T12:19:09.735-06:002013-12-21T12:19:09.735-06:00I grew up making what my mother called Norwegian W...I grew up making what my mother called Norwegian Wedding lefsa....flour, lard, milk and water....that's it.

It was always a treat of us Grandkids to be right there to help sift, make some 'crazy 8's' or just be there to sample! I've often thought about making them here in California myself, but almost don't want to disappoint myself if they don't taste like my Grandma's. We've had family actually go to Lori's in person to buy Kringla's!

We took our kids a few times before they were five, and they loved riding on a real Thomas! (I was a little disappointed with the short distance, given the ticket prices, though.) They also have plenty of activities for young kids. While they did offer more food options, the bees at that time of year are crazy, and it was almost impossible to keep them away from our food -- my daughter almost ate a bee until I caught her just in time! Anyway, that's my only experience at the BSVRR, and it was fun.Mindy Paulsonhttp://pieonsunday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166025511528097741.post-55121821773852904172013-10-13T21:28:01.241-05:002013-10-13T21:28:01.241-05:00Each generation of our family has made Kringlas ev...Each generation of our family has made Kringlas every Christmas!

If so, I think that's the place a friend told me about where she buys her athletic shoes. I'm looking for a good place to buy athletic shoes, where they KNOW how to fit shoes and don't just sell them, so I'll have to try that place.<br /><br />A few weeks ago I picked up Wills' apples at Wheatsfield Coop in Ames. I bought a bag of their "Zestar" apples, and wow! Do they make your face pucker! We really like them because they are crisp, juicy, and perfect for caramel dip!<br /><br />So do you prefer the peaches from Wills over the peaches at Center Grove Orchard? I've been to both orchards for apples (and pumpkins), but want to try some Iowa peaches this time.

They were making 10-inch pizzas for $9. I love margherita pizza, and since I'm the only one in my family who does, I took the opportunity to eat the whole thing myself! It could have used much more basil (there were only 4 leaves on my whole pizza), but the crust was really good. And it was a nice refreshing break from all the traditional fair food I'd been eating all week!<br />Mindy @ Pie on Sundayhttp://pieonsunday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166025511528097741.post-4137338312943257652013-08-18T11:11:55.948-05:002013-08-18T11:11:55.948-05:00Nice looking tomatoes!

Each plant I sold for $2 each. If you look through my blog you'll find my posts on gardening. Lots of tips in there. We have had way too much rain this year and everything is slow to ripen. I have made some salsa already but the bulk of the tomatoes are just now ripening. When growing seedlings keep the light as close as possible to keep them from becoming leggy. I also re-pot mine to larger containers.Bushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578478269526006557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166025511528097741.post-91506614254420191922013-08-18T11:06:20.579-05:002013-08-18T11:06:20.579-05:00I will be pickling mine today.

Cut the top off, de-seed it and smoke them for a good long time on low temps. 6-12 hours. Then put them in the dehydrator to finish drying/preserving them. Seal them in a mason jar using the food saver mason jar adapter. They are great for soups and stews that you want to have a smoky flavor. I use mine a lot for chili because the wife and kids don't like the heat from the jalapenos that I do this to as well.

We do have a website loriskringla.com if you would like to order, pay, and send kringla any where in world. By the way, as of today's date we are the only website where you can order and send kringla anywhere in the world. Shocked me! I especially love to send kringla to the military guys and gals. It is my opportunity to send a "thank you" letter and some extra goodies from home. <br />We also have been very busy making wedding cakes from recipes both my husband and I have invented. We are also going to a lot of festivals and events as vendors and sell meals and various baked goods. We just got back from the Iowa Irish Fest in Waterloo, Iowa. We had kringla, of course, but we created an Irish touch with Irish beef stew (even won the stew contest while there), whiskey buttered buns, Guinness choc cake and several other meal and dessert choices. Had a great time and sold out twice a day, everyday for the 3 days we were there. Please email us at: loriskringla@iowatelecom.net if anyone has a question or just want to chat. God Bless and thank you loving kringla as much as we do!!!!

You were right, those hills were tough, and I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one walking her bike up some of the steep ones! My husband would ride on up and take a break at the top while he watched me push my bike up, every time. And it didn't help that a bearing went out on my bike about 3 miles in -- it made riding rather difficult for about 8 miles, but fortunately we started at the bridge and went counter-clockwise, and did most of the hard work early on. I'm getting a new bike now, so I guess it was worth it!<br /><br />Loved the scenery, I think it's one of the most beautiful trails I've been on!<br />Mindy @ Pie on Sundayhttp://pieonsunday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166025511528097741.post-7874382862155183072013-08-02T17:21:11.504-05:002013-08-02T17:21:11.504-05:00Thanks so much for this recipe!
