Lutefisk and other scary traditions......

Earlier tonight I made an off handed remark to some friends in which I vowed to never make a Lutefisk scented soap. For those who don't know what Lutefisk is, count your blessing because it likely means you've never had it. But for those of you 'in the know' you know that Lutefisk is a Scandinavian tradition where fish is first soaked in Lye before going through a few more phases to become the holiday meal that we either love to eat or hide under the dinner table to avoid. (I happen to be the latter of the two, sorry to all those who adore Lutefisk.) It occured to me, however, that like Lutefisk, the first phase of soap involves Lye...Hmmmmm, I think I'm gonna to head to the studio now. This might actually be a funny idea, presenting my oh-so-Swedish family with some Lutefisk soap in the shape of those little Swedish fish gummy candies! I may be a woman of my word, but I only promised that it wouldn't SMELL like Lutefisk. Just a thought that I thought I'd share here. Cheers! And here's to hoping your Holiday season is the best one yet!
