Hi - you speak (and write) very good English for a Viking. My grandmother (maiden name Lukken) was 100% Norwegian ancestry, and that makes me ¼ - and I have everything from traditional Norsk (or Norske) recipes, a few choice books, and you name it ☺
Here's some Norske recipes for bread, given to me by my friend Margie, photocopies from a church (Lutheran probably) cookbook from South Dakota in the 1970s - I'm wondering if you're into cooking, especially making traditional flatbread and lefse, as well as gardening? Are you familiar with these recipes?
and a wooden spoon that I carved ☟

I've been here a couple of times for the annual lefse & lutefisk dinner ☟

a song (Løkken) that is similar to my grandmother's maiden name (Lukken) ☟

I've watched every episode of Himmelblå on YouTube (loved it - much better than anything on American TV). Recently I learned that the Norwegians use a special thing for slicing cheese with : Ostehøvel, but the funny thing is that neither my grandmother or father ever had one or mentioned anything about it. They should be sold here in the U.S. but you probably have to go online to buy one.
I have tons of garden seeds stored in two compact fridges, and many of them would probably grow good for you in Oslo. If you have an apartment with limited space, I could send you a select few so you could try them out. I have a couple kinds of catnip : regular and lemon, and some herbs that would grow OK in a planter box by the window. I would like to send you some if you'd like (free of charge, of course) - just send me a Tree-Mail (to NickyNick) and be sure to check out my many other posts here on Garden.org to see my garden, greenhouse, etc.
