Our Minneapolis friends, Henrik & Charlotte, invited us over for Swedish "semlor" and coffee. Freshly baked buns filled with almond paste, lots of real whipped cream and dusted with powered sugar, a heavenly treat enjoyed during Lent in Sweden! Our daughters had fun playing with their kids, Nils-Emil & Ebba. Tack for fika!

Cute kids and good-looking semlor. :)
The taste must be great..
une belle tablée et un petit cafe gourmand qui donne envie
I already gain weight when I read this...Do have a recipe for "semlor"? I hope you've had an unforgettable get-together.
Semlor is good
Looks like everyone is well-fed and happy!
Sounds and looks delicious!
This post is making me hungry! It all looks delicious.
I love Swedish pastry.
All smiles here, which is understandable. They sure are tasty. I have probably eaten too many Semlor already this year. To see how a Semla pro looks in action, press here!

I thought Lent was a time of giving up the good stuff. This looks like fun!
You never stop with the food, do you? But you must not eat much of it or you'd be 300 pounds.
Are you 300 pounds?
I absolutely ADORE semlor! And I like the swedish conception of Lent!
It looks delicious!
Ich habe schon lange nichts mehr von Dir gehört/gelesen?! Schade....:-(

Lots of whipped cream, huh?
Well, the least payment is due on the cariologist's BMW, so you might as well help him out a little!
Tose buns look delicous.
Sounds heavenly. A lovely Swedish celebration.
May I apply for a temporary Swedish heritage?
The semlor looks great and coffee is one of the things I can leave without so I would say, great tradition! :)
Beautiful Friends and Family shots !!Simply nice and beautiful !
I see you Swedes still eat the good stuff for Lent! Yum. I will Google a recipe for semlor.
