If you have an interest in Norwegian food, and you want to try out some new recipes, I hope you read about how to find them in the February Tidende. Then, following your cooking, the next step to a cultural pin is writing a little about your experience by answering a few questions on a form provided on the SON website. First, where did you get the recipe? Is there a story with the recipe, and if so, tell us about it. What challenges did you find preparing it? And, are there recommendations you would make to others who use it? Would you make this recipe again or not? And what did you learn from making it? When finished cooking, don't forget to take a picture of it and yourself, and that's about it. Next month, I'll have a few more tips that can help you as you work toward your cultural pin goal. Fraternally, Elaine Edwards, Vice President

Camp Announcement Greetings All, Registration for the summer 2021 IN-PERSON Camp Trollfjell and Trollfjell Folkehøgskule is now open. Online forms and more information are on our website: https://arv.sofn6.org To be honest, we are not absolutely sure that we will be able to conduct in-person camp this year. It all depends on Covid-19 and state and local health restrictions. However, we are planning as if it will be. We are requiring all staff to be vaccinated; I got my second shot on Friday, February 19. If vaccines are approved for 8- to 17-year-olds before camp begins, we will request that all campers and students be vaccinated as well. We are not sure what the demand for camp will be this summer. I see two opposing forces: the desire to get out and have face-to-face interactions vs. the reluctance to risk such gatherings. You can help us measure the demand by registering your kids and youth as soon as possible. Because of the Covid uncertainty, we will provide a full refund of any fees paid if we are unable to conduct our programs. You can even register now and delay payment if you wish. Regards, Bruce Fihe, Executive Director Rebekah Strand, Program Director Crown Princess Märtha and the Norwegian Royal Family Crown Princess Märtha Crown Princess Märtha was born in Stockholm on March 28, 1901. Christened Märtha Sofia Lovisa Dagmar Thyra, she was the daughter of Prince Carl of Sweden and Princess Ingeborg of Denmark. The Princess became engaged to her cousin, then Crown Prince Olav, during the 1928 Olympic Summer Games in Amsterdam. News of the engagement was very well received. It was taken as a sign that there was no longer any tension following the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden. An excellent match in terms of strengthening royal ties, it was also clearly a match based on love. Princess Märtha and Crown Prince Olav were wed in Vår Frelsers church (now Oslo Cathedral) on March 21, 1929. Upon her marriage Princess Märtha became the Crown Princess of Norway, which she remained until her death in 1954. Crown Princess of Norway Charming, open, and hardworking, Crown Princess Märtha soon became a popular and respected member of the Royal Family. She undertook a range of official engagements, and she also gave many speeches, which was unusual for females in the Royal Family at the time. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess resided at the country estate of Skaugum, which was a wedding gift from Fritz Wedel Jarlsberg. When the main house at Skaugum was destroyed by fire in 1930, the Crown Princess was actively involved in the planning of the new building. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess had three children: Princess Ragnhild, born in 1930, Princess Astrid, born in 1932, and Prince Harald (the future King Harald V), born in 1937. The Prince was the first heir to the throne to be born in Norway in 567 years. Crown Princess Märtha assumed the role of First Lady on Queen Maud’s death in 1938. (continued on page 5)
VOLUME 67, NO. 3 PAGE 4 MARCH 2021 NORDAHL'S TIDENDE
World War II When German troops invaded Norway on April 9, 1940, the Royal Family, the Government, and most members of the Storting managed to flee before the Germans reached Oslo. Crown Princess Märtha and her three children crossed the border into Sweden that same night. On August 12, they travelled to the USA at the invitation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess had become close friends with the US president and his wife during a comprehensive tour of the USA in summer 1939. Their friendship opened doors for the Crown Princess, who worked assiduously to promote Norwegian interests. She was involved in a wide range of activities, from paying official visits and giving lectures and speeches, to sending relief aid and participating in relief operations for refugees. The Crown Princess was given a warm welcome when she returned to Norway with the children and King Haakon on June 7, 1945. Her ceaseless efforts during the war had made her even more popular with the Norwegian people. Post-War Period As King Haakon’s health declined, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess assumed a growing number of official engagements. The Crown Princess became involved in many official tasks and even held the annual New Year’s Eve speeches in 1946 and 1950. Unfortunately, Crown Princess Märtha also suffered from poor health. Her death on April 5, 1954 was a tremendous loss for Crown Prince Olav and the children as well as for Norway. Crown Princess Märtha never officially became Queen of Norway. However, as the Bishop of Oslo, Johannes Smemo, stated: “In our hearts she has long been our Queen, and she will be so forever.” Funeral Crown Princess Märtha was buried in the Royal Mausoleum at Akershus Castle on April 21, 1954. …from The Royal House of Norway In April, PBS Masterpiece will begin an 8-part dramatization of this story called “Atlantic Tidende Advertising Policy Crossing.” Episode one premieres on KQED-9 at • Paid advertisements are allowed in the monthly 9:00 PM on Sunday, April 4.

Fiskekaker med Brun Saus / Fish Cakes with Brown Gravy
Ingredients 3 medium potatoes, peeled, sliced in quarters length-wise 6 large rainbow carrots, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces 2 lb boneless skinless white fish fillets (haddock, cod, etc.) 1 ½ tsp. salt 1 ½ tsp. potato starch ½ tsp. ground nutmeg 2/3 cup whole milk ¼ cup chopped fresh chives 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided 6 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil ½ yellow onion, chopped 3 cups beef stock, divided 2 Tbsp. Kitchen Bouquet (or substitute) salt and pepper
Instructions Put the potatoes and carrots in a medium pot and cover with cold, salted water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Place large chunks of fish and salt in work bowl of food processor and, using S-blade, pulse until coarsely chopped. Add potato starch and nutmeg and pulse to combine. Slowly add the milk, pulsing just until combined, and then the chives. Form the fish cakes into 12 round patties. Put 1/3 cup flour on a plate and dip patties to coat. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry on both sides until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Cook onions in remaining oil while fish cakes are draining. When the onions are soft and translucent, remove them from the pan and set aside. Add 1 cup stock and scrape the pan until all the browned bits have become loose. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes to allow stock to reduce. Add remaining 1/3 cup flour and whisk to combine until there are no visible lumps. Cook another 1-2 minutes, whisking continuously, until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth. Gradually add the Kitchen Bouquet and the rest of the stock to the pan and whisk until smooth, cooking another 4-5 minutes, or until the gravy is slightly thicker but not quite at desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low. Add the onion, potatoes, and carrots to the pan and stir into the gravy. Add the fish cakes to the pan and let simmer in brown gravy for 2-3 minutes, or until gravy has reached desired consistency. Serve fish cakes in the gravy with the vegetables. …from SON Newsletter Service
