Summer Pastry

The adverbs just kept coming when the Hunter S Thompson lookalike decided to try this new pastry at the cafe a couple of days ago. A cinnamon bun with cream and strawberries! Unheard-of.

Murphy's law

Stefan, for some reason decided to try the "Sommarsemla" at my favorite cafe yesterday. There's no such thing of course, you can only eat the original semla, and only during the Winter, we all know that. But he didn't so he ordered it anyway, and as he came around the corner, heading for the table, he dropped the pastry on the ground. I asked him if he knew about another fun myth, the five second rule, but he hadn't heard about that one either so he just ate the pastry anyway.

Mini-semla

I have a confession to make. I am totally addicted to the mini semla they sell at my favorite cafe, Malmens konditori in Handen. This is already my fourth this year. A bargain at 16SEK.

That time of the year already

Semlor on sale at my favorite cafe Malmens konditori, and I have consumed two already this year.

National Cinnamon Bun Day

It was National Cinnamon Bun Day yesterday. I ate several kanelbullar. And yes, they were very tasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_roll

National Cinnamon Roll Day

You might have missed it so I just wanted to let you know that we celebrated National Cinnamon Roll Day in Sweden yesterday. I enjoyed mine at my favorite cafe, Malmens Konditori in Handen, where they were busy baking kanelbullar all day long. The hip and fun social site Findery that you all should join celebrated with me.

Lussekatt

Swedish word of the Day. Lussekatt. Saffron Bun. Admired at my local café, Malmens Konditori in Handen earlier in the week. Shot with the nifty fifty.

A visit to the cafe

I visited my favorite cafe yesterday. There's always something interesting going on there. On this visit I chatted with Tompa "Eken" whom you have met here before a few times. He told me about the little acting job he did last Friday, for a kids show on SVT. He got the gig as the director Erik Haag spotted him at the cafe earlier in the year. The tasty looking gingerbread cookies in today's post were baked and designed by the award winning pastry chef Diana.

Semla!

The traditionalist in me told me not to buy this semla yesterday, as it is way too early for that sort of thing. Luckily I didn't listen to that voice. In fact I never do!
