Shrove Tuesday

In English speaking countries, this day is called Shrove Tuesday. They eat pancakes there on this day. Pancakes are great, but in Sweden, we eat something even better, we eat a pastry called semla. It is eaten from this day and throughout the fourty days until Easter.

Daniel loves the pastry semla. However, he abandoned the semla he would get on his workplace to be able to work from home in the afternoon, in the company of us dogs. This was a great sacrifice, but we were happy he did this. In the evening, there was time for a semla.
