LUTEFISK
A traditional Scandinavian dish prepared by
soaking air-dried cod in a lye solution for several weeks
before skinning, boning, and boiling it, a process that gives
the dish its characteristic gelatinous consistency.
"Every
Advent we entered the purgatory of lutefisk, a repulsive gelatinous
fishlike dish that tasted of soap and gave off an odor that would
gag a goat. We did this in honor of Norwegian ancestors, much as if
survivors of a famine might celebrate their deliverance by feasting
on elm bark. I always felt the cold creeps as Advent approached,
knowing that this dread delicacy would be put before me and I’d be
told, "Just have a little." Eating a little was like vomiting a
little, just as bad as a lot."
- Garrison Keillor, Lake Wobegon

The Lute
Fault is an easy walk from County Road S-22 or from the
Truckhaven Truck Trail, the fault is a pile of hard-packed
rock and sand more than two miles long. It is the longest and
tallest of a number of fault scarps to the southeast along the
Clark Earthquake Fault. Through the eons, rain has washed sand down
Rattlesnake Canyon and piled it up on the desert. Then, shifts in
the earth have taken place, moving the sand to the northwest. Make
