Saffron is a favored spice in Swedish cuisine, the empress of the kitchen if for no other reason than the fact that it is ridiculously expensive. In summer it is occasionally used to flavor ice cream, which some people find disgusting, but I find a great luxury. So, today I inaugurated a four-week stint of vacation by eating saffron ice cream in a café on Nytorget with the husband, and the priest and the policeman and their baby Signe.
All hail the glory of Swedish law, which mandates a minimum of five weeks of vacation for all. Me, I actually get seven.
The Swedish phrase for the day is lugn och ro. It means peace and quiet.
