As I continue to learn Finnish on Duolingo, I find myself wanting to connect more to that part of my heritage. I remember my Mom making pannukakku (a Finnish oven pancake), which was served with jam, and I immediately started to crave raspberries. Raspberries + the meat on sale this week = these raspberry pork…

French fries, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, poutine (I usually get it just for the cheese curds but even the French fries would be gone at this point)- I can’t explain it.
