my guys say the best thing about january in stockholm is the semla - a cardamon bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream. while they enjoy the classic - try the one at fabrique - i tend to take off the whipped cream. extra cream for them :)
at our local bakery, magnus johansson bageri och konditori, the semla was plant-based (no diary) - red beet bun with pumpkin seed, orange, lemon, and vanilla paste topped with raspberry mousse. so good!
we spent a sunday afternoon at the national museum - closed for renovation since our arrival in sweden, it was great to visit finally visit. i love paintings with inconceivable sharpness, details such as clothing rendered with meticulous care that it looks like a photograph. LOVE. and sweden's elsa beskow's drawings are adorable, you'll know which painting below belongs to her.
weekend days out and about - a favourite kind of day with nowhere to be, just strolling and enjoying, open to how the day unfolds. now that i am back in school, these kinds of days are particularly special.
in other news, still no snow.
hope you had lovely january weekends.
