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.)

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
