Fettisdag (Fat Tuesday)

Happy Fat Tuesday! The wonderful day that just about everyone in Sweden eats 'Semla' (sweet bun with almond paste and cream). I got some for us from Vetekatten, rated to have one of the best 'semla' in Stockholm - made fresh every day. Delicious!
Interesting fact: In 1771, King Adolf Frederick of Sweden died of digestive problems after a large meal which was topped off by fourteen helpings of Semla... I guess there can be too much of a good thing!


While on the topic of food, here are some other meals we have made from scratch lately.
Grandpas Honey Ribs

Teriyaki Chicken
