Fika

Life is too short to not have sweets and cozying up for conversation with your buddies. We all need a little Fika!

Old school alternative.

Birth scenes in general are much more popular in Etruscan than in Greek art. While the divine conceptions and births in Greek myth are uniformly unnatural, Etruscan renderings often bring out their more practical, normal aspects. Tinia is shown on a mirror giving birth to a large, fully armed Menerva with two beautifully dressed midwives at his side, comforting him and bandaging his aching head. Elsewhere we see the baby Dionysos, wearing protective amulets, emerging from Tinia’s thigh, where he has been incubated; a female attendant nurse, Mean, holds an unguent jar and dipstick: is it to assuage the birth pangs of Tinia, the new father, or to anoint the new-born baby? An Etruscan scene shows the conception of a god as an actual sexual union, as Semla lifts up her skirt in an anasyrma gesture to have intercourse with the great god: a satyr shows that the conception of the god Fufluns/Dionysos will be the result.

✿ セムラ | Semla ・カルダモン風味の丸いパンにアーモンドペーストとホイップクリームを挟んだお菓子。伝統的には、例年四旬節の前日「告解の火曜日」に食べる習慣があります。18世紀のスウェーデン王アドルフ・フレドリクは、豪勢な食事を平らげた上に14人前のセムラを食べ、消化不良を起こして亡くなってしまったという逸話も残されます。

Strawberry Semla

[clatterbane]

Very late brunch of champions here today: Mr. C stopped by and picked up a couple of seasonal GF semlor from the same bakery again. (Systrar & Bröder here in town.) One each, and he just decided to get them both the same to simplify things since there were plenty of GF ones out today.

I did see another place pretty highly recommended and wanted to try theirs too, but they're wanting advance notice a day or two in advance of pickup. Not today, then!

The cream came out a little flattened on on one side, but these fared surprisingly well considering that the bakery just set them straight down inside that paper sack. 😒 Maybe they were out of boxes or something, I don't know. No bakery paper under them or anything, even--just straight into the bag.

The Bag of Shame. Didn't hurt the taste, at least!

I decided to just start out by chopping that thing in half, because those are NOT small sweet rolls.

At least the size of a large grapefruit. They are definitely not skinching on the amount of semla you're getting.

It always looks like an awful lot of bread in proportion to the cream, and especially the layer of almond paste lurking under it. But, once again the proportions balanced out better than I would have thought by looking. Nice note of cardamom in the roll, which is not too sweet. Set off pretty nicely by the much sweeter almond and whipped cream.

My blood sugar may or may not thank me, but I probably will finish off the rest of that shortly. May be a good thing I just got another insulin refill the other day! 😊
