Since I am 9/10th of the way to the North Pole in the northernmost town in the world here in Svalbard, I thought a quick post of a local recipe was apropos.

Since it’s also 4 in the morning, I’m going to be lazy and post to another blog with the recipe. 🙂

This recipe from Scandinavian super-chef Andreas Viestad is superb – I hope you give it a try!

By the way, I took the above pic this morning!
