Today is what we call the “fat Tuesday” in Sweden (mardi gras) and on this day we eat a “semla“. I never got one last year, because some little cutie decided it was time to be born on the day when we, the Swedish girls, had decided to meet for a semla, so I was happy that I got one at Fika today. I’m not a huge fan of semla, but it’s nice to keep some Swedish traditions like eating a semla on “fettisdagen” or a kanelbulle on cinnamon bun day or watch Donald Duck at 3 pm on Dec 24th.
