I've mostly gotten lefse down but I want to see the video made of my grandma making it before she passed. I also want to learn how to make tamales.

Had never heard of lefse. Don't know much about Norwegian cuisine. I don't think we have any restaurant locally that specializes in that cuisine. (We have a Swedish bakery.) Thanks to you, I went looking:
http://www.lefsetime.com/all_about_l...se_recipes.php It looks like a recipe that requires excellent timing and perfect "touch" to get it that delicate.
And I love a true authentic tamale! Such fine homey thing. At least it's not as complicated to bundle up like Chinese sticky rice bundles. But it still looks like abit like something to practice.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

My aunt can roll out an even thickness of pie crust in a perfect circle of the correct size after only a glimpse of the pan. If it's her pan, she doesn't even have to look.
She can also fold fitted sheets into an absolutely flat square shape.
Maybe it is the same skill. One that I will never have.
