Those all sound good! I don't know what Swedish Saffron Buns are, but I'm sure they're tasty. Where can I get takeout that carries all those items?

If I know me, I'll forget! LOL

We are there friends! Monday morning at 3:04 Eastern will be the start of the shortest day of the year. Light a candle, or start a bonfire like the Scots do!
CellarDweller:
Shortest day is almost here.

I'll go with the candle -- if I'm up at 2:04 a.m. Monday.
Personally, I prefer what I've heard is the Swedish way of celebrating the summer solstice (though I may be corrected! :)) -- ice cold vodka and crawfish!
Or at least that's what they told me years ago, when I wrote about China's takeover of the crawfish industry, stealing Swedish customers from Louisiana by undercutting their prices.
