Happy Semla Day!

Yay! Today was (and still is) "Fettisdagen" ("fat Tuesday") - the official Swedish day to gorge of the pastry we call "semla". Glorious, delicious, mouthwatering cardamom buns stuffed with almondy goodness and topped off with Atkinsian amounts of whipped cream. Orgasmic. If your godforsaken country has once more neglected to adopt another one of our food holidays, I scoff at it! Scoff, I say, scoff with a cream and sugar-covered nosetip!

drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Must...Eat!

If the cream was unsweetened, and there was no icing sugar adorning this confection, I would glady make a pig of myself.

I want a national pastry day.

Why you acting all diabetic?

I want a national pastry day.

Everyone sane does, and since I live someplace sane I get several!

Why you acting all diabetic? Hypoglycemic dear. Sugar messes with my mojo leading to the shakes, the sweats, the spins, and the unconsciousnesses. Less drastically, too much sugar makes my tongue go all fuzzy and yucky.

How cold is it in Sweden right now?

I think I'll move to Chile instead and gorge myself unconscious on torta de mil hojas (http://www.portalchileno.ca/recetas/pictures/tortaMilHojas2.jpg).

*Hungers for Fass's pastry. Goes out hunting for bearclaws."

your all savages for it is pancake day and in my English prudishness I have only eaten 6 so far!

I wonder if we could combine the two?

Semla sounds lovely, i'll have to track some down.

Pancakes with lemon juice and sugar are about to be served in my house.....a bit early for Lent but i'm not going to complain :)

Happy Fat Tuesday!

Hmmm, perhaps it's time for a trip down to Beard Papa's...if for no other reason then that's fun to say...

Sometimes I wonder if Fass is only ever truly happy when he's enjoying some pastries...

But seriously, no thank you. I'm trying to become healthier, not fatten up again. :)

Urgh. I much prefer Waffle Day; these things you just linked to look unappetizing.

You're German. What do you know about food?

I had an apricot and almond danish earlier. It was lovely. =)

Hypoglycemic dear. Sugar messes with my mojo leading to the shakes, the sweats, the spins, and the unconsciousnesses. Less drastically, too much sugar makes my tongue go all fuzzy and yucky.

If you're hypoglycemic, you'd want sugar, you know...

How cold is it in Sweden right now?

Right now, at 23.03 it is 0-2 ºC where I am.

I think I'll move to Chile instead and gorge myself unconscious on torta de mil hojas (http://www.portalchileno.ca/recetas/pictures/tortaMilHojas2.jpg).

I didn't want you moving here, silly, but hasn't Chile suffered enough?

*shakes head*
Sweden and its multitude of pastry-based holidays.

You're German. What do you know about food?

She doesn't even know anything about eating out any more, either.

Urgh. I much prefer Waffle Day; these things you just linked to look unappetizing.

You lie. Liar.

Don't you wish your country was awesome like mine... dontcha?

If you're hypoglycemic, you'd want sugar, you know... But not refined simple sugar. Consuming large amounts of sugar takes me up, then crashes me down very quickly. I have to maintain my sugar levels with protein and small amounts of complex carbs.



I didn't want you moving here, silly, but hasn't Chile suffered enough?You've compared me to the horrors of a dictatorship, or perhaps to a series of natural disasters. I'm aghast.

Don't you wish your country was awesome like mine... dontcha?

It isn't enough that you tease with that picture, but now you had to go and get that song stuck in my head...:(

I fucking hate you...

*weeps*

The cream lowers the GI...

I didn't compare you to them, I was just saying that people who've suffered through those need not salt for their wounds.

The cream lowers the GI... Hahaha, well perhaps I could justify that, but I'd still want it unsugared thanks...it's sweet enough all on its own.

My dulcet tones and sweet temperament are more like a soothing balm.

You're German. What do you know about food?
Umm..that they are probably worth starting wars over? Tha we need t follow the One True Food? That all good food either contains chocolate and/or is made out of potatoes? (They put chocolate covered potatoes on the menu the other day in one of my favorite restauranty places. Yay!)

She doesn't even know anything about eating out any more, either.
I heard it's like riding a bike; you never unlearn.

You lie. Liar.

Oh, so you got your mindreading machine fixed? Neat.

We have Donut Day here in Pennsylvania. I'd say the name for it, but I don't want WYTYG to yell at me again.

Oh, and screw you, pancake lovers.

Hahaha, well perhaps I could justify that, but I'd still want it unsugared thanks...it's sweet enough all on its own.

Right.

My dulcet tones and sweet temperament are more like a soothing balm.

Yeah, tiger balm...

You're German. What do you know about food?
Plenty about confectionary, although in this case they're horribly, horribly wrong.

Anyway, pancakes are tasty enough for me. So hurrah for Shrove Tuesday.

I heard it's like riding a bike; you never unlearn.

Hearing is not degusting.

Oh, so you got your mindreading machine fixed? Neat.

I don't need one of those to expose such obvious and contrived falsehoods.

Hearing is not degusting.

...or so you heard?

How cold is it in Sweden right now?
As I'm sure you know, pretty much all of Sweden has milder winters than Edmonton does.

But Edmonton does have nalysnyky, so that's something.

You're German. What do you know about food?
I'm guessing you never made it down to Franzl's Gasthaus.

A holiday dedicated to the consumption of pastry. There's hope for Sweden yet. :)

I used to like waffles, but now, well, I'm not so sure. Maybe. I think so. Possibly.

























:D

That sounds dirty :p

:D

I think it's bad that I'm proud I got this right away...

..but I still want to mention it on my ESL proficiency test. God, I'm obsessed with that these days.

That sounds dirty :p

Who knew people would have such a burning desire for Fass' buns? :)

Meh. I prefer waffles! BLUEBERRY waffles are teh awesomeness.

ANYTHING with blueberries is good.

*runs to the store for a blueberry muffin*

That's it? You only get one day?

Here in the USA, every day is Fat Tuesday!
