In Italy for Carnival we eat special sweets: the "bugie". They are fried, and very light, like the children lies!!

Shrove Tuesday in Estonia - Vastlapäev

Shrove Tuesday (in this year on 16/2) is before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. On this day, families go sledding and eat split pea and ham soup. A toy is made from the ham bone by tying the bone to a string and spinning it around to make a whistling noise. A traditional pastry is a semla. The semla consists of a cardamon-spiced wheat bun which has its top cut off and insides scooped out, and is then filled with a mix of the scooped-out bread crumbs, milk and almond-paste, topped with whipped cream. The cut-off top serves as a lid and is dusted with powdered sugar.

Very cold weekend

In this weekend it was very, very cold in Estonia. It was about 28 - 31 degrees in celsius. In south Estonia we had a snow day, so that children couldn't go to school on Friday. But it was mostly beautiful except the weather.

An winter sunset in Arenzano, when it's a beautiful day.
