Þorrablót

Yum. Need I say more? Today was the day of Steve's substitute solstice stew celebration...but we pretended it was a...one of those celebrations named up there in my title line. In case you're rusty on your Þorrablót traditions, Steve provided this definition in his invitation: "The Þorrablót is an evening with dinner where participants hold speeches and recite poems, originally to honor the Norse god Thor, after whom the month is presumed to be named."

We weren't sure what one wears to Þorrablót...is it helmets with horns...fur-lined leather boots? Or is that not acceptable until after Memorial Day? We can never remember! So, we went winter-casual and brought the ever-traditional offering of fudge to tempt Thor's taste buds. The girls wrote and brought their best original poetic efforts to share after we filled our tummies with delicious stew.
It was Þorrablót-tastic!!


Karen's funny dog poem (containing a questionable four letter F-Word that rhymes with Smart)...was a big hit
