I have a question for you.
You know, I've grown up in a Norwegian/Swedish family all my life. There are many, many things that I know about that no one else outside of St. Olaf does. The same can be said of people outside of St. Olaf. That is, they know lots of things I don't.
So, it should come as no surprise, but I find myself completely and utterly out my depth.
It all started a couple weeks ago. Dorothy and Sophia were watching this mystery on tv and I was just passing through to get me a glass of milk. Well, Dorothy told her mother some character on it was just a red herring. This struck me as very odd.
You see, as a Lyndstrom, I know all about herring. My grand parents were herring fishers, they caught every type of herring there is. From pickled to peeked, there isn't a single way to cook them I haven't heard of. I've eaten herring all my life, one of my favorite dishes is smoked herring kephrden. In fact, I use to have a pet herring!
And yet, I didn't know what a Red Herring was. Well, rather than appear the fool about something I've professed to be an expert by asking them, I've bitten my tongue. Now, I've come online to seek out answers.
