$8.50 for a jar of pasta sauce?!? I thought food here in Norway is super expensive compared to other countries, but I never saw a similar product even close to that price. Feel sorry for the American consumers.
This might be the end of Norwegian Monarchy.
An inconvenience store?
Shocked to learn that 71 grader Nord with Norwegian celebrities even has an audience outside Norway!
Narvik?
The finnish soldiers are a tough lot, as the soviets experienced when they attacked Finland in 1939. Experts in harsh winter conditions. Would probably cause any aggressor, including the US, major pain if some of them were to be deployed to Greenland.
Marienborg verksted. Pass there everyday on my way to work. The old railcars are sadly long gone.
Very tasty just sprinkled over boiled potatoes when served as a side for fish. Or with butter on top of baked potatoes. Or add some dill and garlic to sour cream to make a delicious dip.
But why?
Box containing building bricks for locomotive of "Dovregubben"-class
Still over a week of holiday vacation left! Might as well enjoy building this Christmas gift.
Do trains dream of mechanical sheep?
In the northern county of Troms, lefser are made with wheat flour, the best filling is a mix of butter, sugar, cinnamon and grated brown cheese. Perfect with a cup of coffee after Christmas dinner!
The ones made with potatoes are called lumpe in Norway, and are usually served wrapped around a frankfurter together with crispy fried onions and shrimp salad (pølse i lumpe). A true classic. It's also served with lutefisk ( an acquired taste) or rakfisk (even more so).
Ad for special christmas tram service "nissetrikk" at Gråkallbanen in Trondheim.
Special Christmas tram service at the world's northernmost tram line, Gråkallbanen in Trondheim. There will be a band, santas og gifts for the kids onboard!
Lingonberries,bilberries and stone brambles, picked in an arctic forest in Målselv. Will make jam and serve on fresh crispy waffles. Lingonberries are super good whipped with sugar and egg white to an airy mousse (trollkrem)
In Norwegian: "Som skjorta og ræva". Meaning "like the shirt and the ass". Describes two friends that very close and always together.
SJ crossborder service to Luleå at Narvik Station. Hauled by two Rc6 locos, the second loco in the rear.
This loco is a NSB El 18, operated by Vy on the Bergen
line, a very scenic route!
NSB Type 73 at Trondheim Central station, bound for Oslo in rainbow/pride livery. Operated by SJ Nord. A wordplay in Norwegian is lost in translation, as the word for "train" and "parade " is the same in Norwegian.
He regretted requesting a helping hand.
8647 in Candy -pantos raised.
I’m loving all the online talk today about this powerful but now lost electric locomotive. Electric traction for the win.

Museum train NSB type Di 3 at Eidsvoll station and Lillestrøm station. These locos were in ordinary traffic until the noughties, luckily this one is preserved by the Norwegian Railroad Museum in Hamar, so I have a lovely nostalgic traveling experience today!
Tømmerdalsveien in Trondheim?
Bull-Hansen? Leste fantasy-serien hans om Horngudens tale for lenge siden. Traff han i en annen sammenheng noen år senere, ble overraska av at han privat hadde mange av de arkaiske macho-holdningene som gjennomsyrer bøkene, rett nok passende for en brutal fantasysetting.
Norwegian: Spøkefugl (Joking bird). Another one: moroklump (Ball of fun). And in Northern Norwegian dialect: Tullsjur (Silly magpie, about females. The male equivalent to tullsjur is a bit more rude so I won't mention it here)
Every Tuesday is quite literally a smörgåsbord-day at my work! I chose the classic smørrebrød the Danish call "stjerneskud" (shooting star) with fried plaice fillet and prawns.
Lovely fish lunch: Ling fillet, mashed potatoes and celeriac, ratatouille, sauce hollandaise.
Another excellent lunch from the cafeteria at my work, today it was fresh fish: Ling fillet, served with mashed potatoes and celeriac, and sauce hollandaise.
In Norwegian: Rumleskaft (Rumbling shaft)
He has been preparing Anschluss with his rhetorics for weeks now. Scary.
