time for a semla

I was walking home from downtown and passed a bakery. They had a sign saying that they had started selling 'semlor'. I just had to go in and buy one. I think this was the first semla in two years, since I was in Singapore last spring. It was really good, and I'll be able to eat a couple more since they will probably sell them throughout February. I had to look up if the word semla had an English translation, I doubted it, but still had to look. Ne.se actually had a translation, but a very literal one and it made me laugh:

semla (n.) bun with whipped cream and almond paste
