The kids wanted pasta for dinner, but not "Pasta La Dorka" as we call it here when it's simplified as much as possible. They wanted my homebrewed one. It takes time, but it's alright. Currently reducing to get all the water from canned tomatoes and shrooms away.

It's almost at the stage where it's been reduced enough where I can add spices, herbs, and salt to taste.

To complete the full circle around the Nordics, I'll mention that "dorka" comes from the Swedish word "dåre", which translates to "fool" or "lunatic".

    Dåre is used in Norwegian too, but not by anyone under 70, I think. Only time I remember encountering that word was through ancient literature in school some time in the previous century
