Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

Delicious "literary" pastry
Soon it is February 5th, the day when Finland´s national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg was born (in 1804). In Finland, at least among the Swedish speaking Finns, various festive programmes are organised on that day, but there is one informal way of celebrating Runeberg, which has become increasingly popular around the time of his birthday; enjoying the poet´s favourite pastry - the Runeberg cake. I can assure you that the cake is very tasty!
If you would like to try making a Runberg cupcake youself, the Nordic Recipe Archive has an excellent recipe page. And this Finnish blogger has another version of with lots of rum instead of Amaretto.
