Fat Tuesday

Yesterday was "Fat Tuesday" and here in Sweden they celebrate it by eating semla (a yummy, almond cream filled bun). Lou and I went to what the Piteå newspaper claimed was the best bakery, and enjoyed our buns and coffee!

Now, the fearsome threesome (Anna, Lou, and I) has vowed to give up sweet treats for Lent. In a place where "fika" (coffee and pastry between meals) is a part of everyday life...this may be a bit of a challenge. We will be strong...and by Easter, much healthier!
