Fat Tuesday

Yes, today is Fat Tuesday, or "fettisdagen" as we call it in Sweden. I'm not sure what happens here in the US on Fat Tuesday, I'm thinking it has something to do with Mardi Gras? I should probably google it after this and educate myself. But in Sweden on "fettisdagen" we eat "semlor". A delicious bun filled with almond paste and fresh whipped cream and some powdered sugar on top. It is quite tasty and I wish I would have some energy left today to make some for me and my hubby, but nos such luck. I have been working non-stop for a week and a half with no break so the thought of baking right now, is not so tempting. Maybe tomorrow?

This is "semlor".. yum!
