Here we are Saturday night eating the ultimate Rands family traditional meal: Ableskievers! My dad served a mission in Denmark and this is his signature Danish dish. Its made from a batter somewhat similar to pancakes, then you pour it into the special pan and turn them around and around until it makes hollow balls. Then we fill them with yogurt, vanilla syrup, fruit syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, whatever. We each make them a different way, but they're delicious no matter what! Max seems to love them just as much as everyone else, especially with the blackberry sauce Nana made (she spoils him). I am so glad I learned how to make these this year, I even have my own pan, I have just never been brave enough to try it at home without my dad. Eventually I will! I hope to make these for my own grandchildren someday.

Yummm, those are a tradition in the Browne family too. Dave's heritage is all Scandanavian. I learned about Ebelskievers (different spelling, same ball of hollow dough) when we got married. We haven't had them in AGES!!! Thanks for bringing back a great memory and reminding me that I need to make them sometime...now where did I put that pan?????? Enjoy Seattle for me...I'm a little homesick today! :-)

And I was SOOO Bummed that Southwest changed their policy! Whats up with that?! And, I thought My dad was the only one in the world who made abelskievers! I grew up on those yummy balls of goodness! I got so hungry when I read your post! :) Anyway, Your family is so cute! Tell your parents hi. Erin
