Words you can keep
Disgusting fish dish served anywhere Scandinavian grandmothers lurk, in the U.S. usually on holidays or other "special occasions." Also makes a frequent appearance on smorgasbords. Best described as fish Jello. Tastes bad and smells worse. Most acidic dish known to man (no joke). Dried codfish is reconstituted in lye (breaking down proteins/any structure), "washed out" with water for a couple of days, and boiled into oblivion. White fish served with a white sauce often on a white plate. Yum! In Minnesota the main event at "lutefisk feeds" organized by the Sons of Norway to benefit the local Lutheran church.
Lena's grandchild: Grandma is busy preparing lutefisk for Christmas dinner again.
Lena's daughter: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

- Scandalous nature

Oh that canned lutefisk is such as sketchy kid, I mean just look at him.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
