No semla today

Today is Fat Tuesday and here in Sweden every body has a cream bun or semla as it’s called in Swedish. Everybody at work was so waiting for a semla in the afternoon, but we didn’t get any. The assistant who usually orders had totally forgotten about it, and finding a bakery this morning that could deliver 40 no pre-ordered semals, was a bit too hard even for her. So no semla today. Sigh!

Of course I could have bought one myself, but walking home after the gym I felt way too healthy to even think about cream buns. But not now! I can almost feel the taste of cardamom, whipped cream, almond paste and a soft wheat bun. Mmm!
