FETTISDAGEN WITH ALL TYPES OF SEMLOR

Although this is not a good shot up here, it´s one of my best memories from Sweden: the day I fell in love with SEMLOR.

The date was 16th February 2015 (FETTISDAGEN btw) and I was not giving so much credit to the semlor buns, probably due to my life at that time. It was the first year I felt free to travel on my own. I had not visited other countries for many, many years and 2015 was my chance. So I packed and went to S:t Petersburg, Berlin, Prague and Bordeaux in France all by myself.

I was still ignorant about semlor, even after so many years in Sweden. My attention was fixed in other horizons at that time: travel! Then it happened ... I entered "Güntherska Hovkonditori & Sch¡weizeri" in Uppsala and asked for coffee and semla like those on the window.

Oh my! I was transported to heaven. Since then I am addicted to these buns and no therapy shall make me change.

Tomorrow the celebration is called FETTISDAGEN (16/02 every year) and the rule is to eat as many different semlors you can. Lol!!!

Ps. their secret is very simple: the whitest flour, cardamon, whisk cream, soft almond paste and topped with white icing sugar. I wonder ... how such simple ingredients can result in such a heavenly treat?

MY FIRST TRAGEDY: BAMBI

My first childhood trauma was born after watching the Disney film "Bambi" with my mother. I am speaking of the original "Bambi" film from 1941. The premiere was in 1959 in my country (if my memory is good...) and I was three years old at that time.

We went to the cinema with my mother and I can even recall the row we were sitting. Such an impact this film made on me! Usually my memories are quite wrong; but in this case, not at all.

THE TRAGEDY: at the begining of the film you understand that some hunters are shooting raindeers in the forest. You hear the "bang" and you realise that Bambi´s mother is being shot. OMG!!! how I suffered! I was traumatized for years. So sad! poor Bambi left alone in the forest.

Since that time I feel very deep for all animals, birds, fish and insects. I empathize with them; I suffer deeply when they are killed or when they die. And I have it difficult to eat meat, fish or other. I just can´t.

DEAR WALT: thank you for making me suffer so much with poor, lonely Bambi. Would you please change the plot of your film some time?

Thanks!
