What's lutefisk?

Lutefisk is a cod fish from norway that gets soaked in Lard for forever, then drenched in butter to make it appear edible.

Three feet and still falling; no lie.

It's a tad nippy out there today. I'm looking
forward to summer. The wife says if it falls
on a Sunday this year we should have a picnic.
