After a morning of reading the paper in bed, followed by breakfast in front of my computer, watching the first season of Sex and the City, I'm not getting ready to head off into town. A friend and I are going to a café that's supposed to have the best semla in town. Semla, for those who don't know it, is a sweet cardamom bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream and topped with some powdered sugar. It may not sound very good, but it's absolutely delicious. I used to hate the almond paste, and always had to scrape it off before putting the cream back on again, but with age I've learned to appreciate it. The semla is traditionally eaten on February 24th, and is really the same as Shrove Tuesday, only we eat semla instead of pancakes.
First thing's first, though, and before I can go out and enjoy myself, I still have the Sunday cleaning to take care of. Life really is all work and no play.
