miscellanous monday

last month i wrote about fika, the swedish ritual of sharing tea with others:

fika is such a grand ritual i decided to initiate fika for myself and others. last friday marked the first fika gathering i hosted.  it was impromptu, as i only extended an invitation a few days prior to the day. it was simple; i baked brownies and offered hot tea, iced tea and hot chocolate.  

our gathering numbered seven including me. for a few hours we sipped, munched and shared conversation. it reminded me of how the moms in my growing up years got together for coffee and conversation. i'm looking forward to the next fika gathering.
