Connie, we went to the Vikings exhibit at the Museum Center today, and it totally made me think of you. Their motto was "The horns are fake. The beards are real."
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Hah. The quote I like is from a Hagar the Horrible book "Sword for show, axe for dough." Also "Never loot anything that has to be walked, fed, or watered."

Thanks to current media's depiction of Vikings, I was SUPER surprised to learn the average height of a male Viking was 5'7" (and 5'3" for women).
My husband is 1 inch taller than a Viking.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Vikings looked really tall next to Celts, though, right?
That roulade sounds fantastic! Please remind me it exists when I need to make something for next year's T-day pot luck, it would be perfect.

I'm Viking-sized! Suddenly my Halloween costume (#3 for those of you that followed along on FB) is that much more authentic!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And it was pretty easy and quick! Cleaning up the powdered sugar was maybe the hardest part.
I was skeptical when I read "buttercream" but mascarpone with sugar and cream and ginger sounds delicious.
I actually used cream cheese because I am cheap and love cream cheese.

Wasn't everybody shorter back then? I still don't know if it means they towered over people or not.
