This iPad doodle looks like a fossil or something caught while ice-fishing. It definitely looks frozen. It makes me think of my American-Norwegian heritage, which prompted the title to this blog–and of Lutefisk–which I tasted once and regretted.
Not being a native Norwegian, or speaking its language, koselig was new to me as an idea for winter comfort. It roughly means long nature walks and visiting friends in a cozy atmosphere–which, unlike Lutefisk, sounds very nice. I did some research into winter festivals and it popped up as a concept.
As I think about it, I can hear the fire crackling in the fireplace and a hot cider cinnamon scent wafting through the air. So, since this is the week between Christmas and New Years, I wish you all a very happy koselig!
