We are so blessed to have butter for Christmas!

The story behind the video...

http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/344690/

While some locals are bummed by a Christmas without snow, some local Scandinavians have their eyes on a scarier holi-disaster; a Christmas without butter.

Norway is in the midst of a nationwide butter shortage. According to the Wall Street Journal, a very wet season stunted cows’ grazing and led to less milk production, which, coupled with a new fad low-carb, high-fat diet that saw 1,000 more tons of butter sold this year, led to the country’s butter shortage.

And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Butter isn’t just an ingredient for Norwegians, it’s their life-blood. Why do you think they are so blond and fair-skinned and melt in the summer?

And Christmas is time when Norwegian cuisine really shines, partly because of butter. The rich flakiness of a Scan-dessert can’t be matched

“If I was in Norway and told I had to use margarine, I would freak out and not cook,” says Ashley Thornberg. “I really like butter.”

The Moorhead woman helped at the Sons of Norway Christmas dinner and is an avid holiday baker, going through as much as seven pounds of butter making krumkake, rømmegrøt, rosettes and lefse.

(Too bad Norwegians can’t churn vowels into butter.)

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
