I guess I can see it, wooden butter knives are traditional here, but mostly people use metal utensils so I don't get it.

Now I don't use either. I slice butter the same way I slice cheese:

I don't mean to say that's butter, it's some kinda norweigan cheese. Just that the principle is the same for a block of butter.

That's because it is. :)
And for whoever said it's a block of caramel, that's also kind of true.

Norwegian brown cheese is basically whey (the liquid that you separate from the cheese curds when you make cheese), plus some milk and cream, caramelized in a pot for a while. If you stop before it's solid, you get prim (messmör, to the Swedes), kind of like a tarter and less sweet dulce de leche. (Vanilla is a fairly common addition). If you go a bit longer, you can cast it into blocks of a cheese-like substance that's technically speaking not cheese at all.

As for the taste, well - it depends. If you start with goat milk, go light on the (goatmilk) cream, and boil it quite dark, you get a tart, slightly sour, product that's very much an acquired taste. I like it, though not on its own; it cuts through dark bread or buttery waffles quite nicely.

On the other hand, if you use mostly cow milk, more cream, and stop earlier, you get a light brown, mild, sweet, caramelly "cheese". I imagine it's still unusual if you've never had it before, but it's much more approachable in that form. Perfectly good on bread; also quite nice on waffles.

Yeah, probably Brunost specifically, Brunost and that style of cheese slicer being two of Norway's proudest inventions.

I actually have no idea what the proper stuff tastes like - I decided to make it the first time after googling what I could do with whey from making the mozz. Now it's become a minor white whale - it just never seems to work. Most often it burns on the boil-down.

I agree a wood butter knife seems weird, but wooden spoons, spatulas, and cutting boards are pretty pervasive so I'm not sure I can fault that aspect.

We had one when I was a kid. Clothes don't really come out dry, they come out about as dry as from a normal washing machine, then you hang them to finish drying. Better then washing by hand if you are too poor or have no hookups for normal laundry machines and the nearest laundromat is too far away.


My partner has one and stuff comes out dry, it just takes longer than a regular dryer. I imagine the tech has advanced quite a bit.

I was literally asking if there was any benefit. For example, in my experience wooden cutting boards hold up better than plastic ones, and can be sanded down if they get too beat up. Being antibacterial is kind of a benefit, except I wash my utensils.

Edit: now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I saw an actual butter knife outside of my parents' house. Everyone I know--even the really cooky people--just uses a regular table knife.

Yes, most likely - I think Ski Queen is repackaged Gubrandsdalsost, which is also the best selling variant over here. (There's a few other variants, though).

Wooden knives seem to be some Scandinavian bullshit that the rest of us left behind when we entered the Bronze Age.

Yeah, I only know there's a difference because of receiving one (1) butter knife in a donation of cutlery to restock my kitchen after my house burned down. It's the only utensil I own besides the can opener that is recognizably designed to be used right-handed. Problem: I am left-handed.

Going through home shopping hell. I'm constantly clicking links to manufactured home 1B with floor layout #4z56. It's all the same and it's all crap, but I've finally found the one. The home that will never bore me.



Lengthy downspouts give me confidence that basement is bone dry. Hopefully as I build up equity, I can have a contractor close up some windows on the main house in order to better match the additions.



Oh boy a drying vent!



I hate the feeling of being confined on a toilet, but no worries here :)



Workmanship!



More workmanship! I love that I'll be able to quickly and easily change carpet for every season. Time for that soothing winter time blue!



A filth door is a wonderful feature that many sellers forget to focus on in their listings. This is especially true in houses that have two kitchens.

So I actually clicked through each picture on zillow and holy poo poo that entire house is just hosed up, there's not one picture where you can look at it and not find some glaring issue with it.
flooring in spaces with transitions that are batty. Vents everywhere in the floor where they shouldn't be (probbably where they took down a wall and "opened it up"), oh and at least one missing vent cover. .
no handrailing's on any stairway that I can see (oh wait the stairway of death to upstairs seems to have one)
poo poo everywhere in the just piles of random poo poo like a scale next to the fireplace, ladders laying on the roof, paint buckets outside, kid just walking out the door, floors are super dirty everywhere.

For sale by owner for sure.. and the owner's a dumbass. If my house was in that state my realtor would be like Umm.. so what day are am I coming back to do pictures then?
