Glad Fettisdag!!! Bon Mardi Gras!!! Happy Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras everybody.  Here in Sweden you traditionally have semla (pictured below) with tea or coffee.  It's a cardamon-spicked bun with the top cut off and hallowed out and then filled with a mix of the bread crumbs, milk, and almond paste, topped with whipped cream.  Then the topped is put back on and dusted with powdered sugar.

You can find them at all the grocery stores and all the bakeries around town.  These are from coach's bakery. I went to a grocery store to find stuff for dinner and they were being put together in front of people in the middle of the store.  Lots of them.  I went by a little bakery and there was a line of about 12 people out the door.  Popular I suppose.  Well that's me droppin' a little knowledge on y'all.  I'm here to educate.

Make sure to listen to the President's address tonight (3 am Sweden time).  Important stuff. We'll catch the highlights in the morning.
