Our favorite breakfast – instant sweet waffles

We have two breakfasts that we always choose when we have more time in the morning. For example, on days off. When we’re not eating pancakes, we make delicious waffles. They are much faster to make and just as delicious.

Then we sit down at the table together. We prepare various fruits (we especially love strawberries and blueberries, sometimes we cut bananas or, as recently, apricots from a can/jar) and spreads (jams, Nutella). Mom bets on the simplest solutions – powdered sugar.

Since I recently posted a report on making (and above all eating) waffles on our stories, I also decided to share the recipe on the blog.

When we have time for a leisurely breakfast, we choose pancakes or waffles. And if waffles, then only from this recipe.

📱🚨 Millions of mobile phones in Sweden are about to start screaming today as the country tests a brand new emergency warning system for the first time.

At 3pm today, alongside the usual outdoor siren Hesa Fredrik, around 2.6 million mobile phones in Stockholm and Gotland counties will ring, vibrate, and display an emergency message for 10 seconds, at maximum volume, even on silent mode.

The new system is called SE-Alarm. It`s built for warning the public during a crisis or war. No app, no registration. If your smartphone is updated, switched on, and connected to the mobile network, you`ll get it automatically. That includes tourists and anyone else in the area.

Because it works through mobile masts, not county borders, phones in nearby regions like Uppsala, Södermanland and Västmanland might also receive the message.

⚠️ One serious warning worth sharing: Roks, Sweden`s national organisation for women`s shelters, has warned that the test could expose women who live with abusive or controlling partners and use a hidden phone. Their advice: switch that phone off before 3pm today.

A national test is planned for December.

🇸🇪 Ah yes, surströmming. Sweden’s favourite way of testing how committed foreigners really are to integration 😂🐟

If you’ve somehow missed it: surströmming is fermented Baltic herring, traditionally associated with northern Sweden.

The tradition goes back at least to the 16th century. The commonly told story is that salt became scarce and expensive during the time of Gustav Vasa, so less of it was used to preserve fish. Instead of stopping the process completely, the fish fermented… and somehow Sweden collectively decided: yes, let’s keep doing that 😂

And despite what YouTube challenges would have you believe, you’re NOT supposed to open a can indoors and eat the fish straight from it while your friends throw up in the background 😭

I’ve actually tried properly served surströmming with tunnbröd, potatoes, onion and everything.
My verdict?

The smell is definitely worse than the taste 😂
I survived 😎

Would I voluntarily eat it again?
Probably not. I think once was enough character development 🫡🇸🇪

Have you tried it? And would you do it again? 👀

1️⃣ Save this before your first surströmming experience 🐟
2️⃣ Send it to a foreigner who says they’ll try anything 😂

🇸🇪 Today’s plan: Ö-Festen, food and apparently… car shopping? 👀😂

Today we went to Ö-Festen on Ringön, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! 🎉

And Ringön is a pretty cool place for a festival like this. Göteborg bought the area in 1878, it was actually an island for 41 years, and later became the industrial district we know today. Now you’ll find old workshops and garages mixed with restaurants, breweries, creative businesses and some wonderfully random places 😂

During Ö-Festen, they all basically spill out onto the streets.

So today we had classic cars, street food, little activities, Swedish husmanskost, köttbullar for me and fläskschnitzel for Mum, and some VERY good local äppelmust 🍎 Mine had ginger and I need it again.

We also stopped by Karmauto for fika, Mum immediately wanted to enter a competition 😂 and Tomas took some photos of the new Mazda they had on display.

Meanwhile I was suspiciously interested in the cars… 👀

Our current lease is ending soon, so we’ve been looking for our next one for a while.

And I’ve already chosen. 😏

Any guesses what we’re getting?

🩵💛 One of Sweden`s most iconic breakfast products just changed its look for the first time in 72 years.

Kalles kaviar, the smoked cod roe paste sold in that iconic blue and yellow tube, has been part of Swedish breakfasts since 1954. And the smiling boy on the front? That`s Kalle.

For the very first time in the brand`s history, Kalle is getting a friend on the tube.

The redesign is a collaboration with Friends, one of Sweden`s biggest anti-bullying organisations. The timing is intentional: the message is aimed at the start of the school year, when many children experience anxiety about not being welcomed or included. The new tubes are designed to spark conversations at the breakfast table about kindness and safety at school 🩵

The "friend tubes" are already showing up in some shops. The official campaign runs from week 35 to week 45.

72 years alone. Now he`s got a friend.

🇸🇪 Some countries put basil on pizza. Sweden looked at a banana and chose violence 🍌🍕😂

Yes, we’re talking about the legendary Swedish banana & curry pizza.

Depending on the pizzeria and your personal level of culinary bravery, you’ll find versions with banana + curry + ham OR chicken, sometimes pineapple… and quite often peanuts.

I can already hear the Italians mobilising 🇮🇹⚔️😭

But HOW did Sweden even get here?

There’s no single documented moment when someone woke up and decided pizza needed bananas. Swedish food historian Richard Tellström connects it to the country’s fascination with “exotic” flavours during the 1960s-80s, when combinations involving bananas, pineapple and curry became surprisingly fashionable.

And Sweden was COMMITTED.

In 1976, Flygande Jacob entered Swedish food history: a casserole combining chicken, banana, bacon, chilli sauce and peanuts. So honestly, putting a similar combination on pizza was less of a revolution and more of a natural next step 😂

And yes, I support this important piece of Swedish culinary heritage so strongly that we have an entire banana pizza collection in the LikeSweden shop 🍌🍕😂

T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags… because eating it apparently wasn’t enough. Now you can wear it too.

Comment BANANPIZZA and I’ll send you the collection 👇

Have you actually TRIED Swedish banana pizza, or are you judging it without evidence? 👀🍕

⚠️ Youth workers in Sweden are warning parents about a dangerous trend: teenagers getting drunk on hand sanitiser.

Field workers from Umeå municipality in northern Sweden say they`ve noticed a clear uptick, with some children as young as 12 and 13 involved. The evidence: empty sanitiser bottles found at party spots, tips from police and worried members of the public, and overheard conversations among the young people.

Why it`s genuinely dangerous:
➡️ Hand sanitiser usually contains around 70% ethanol, much stronger than regular alcohol
➡️ Some versions contain isopropanol, which causes even worse intoxication
➡️ Risk of acute poisoning, aspiration into the lungs, and death

Sweden`s national Poison Information Centre gets around 50 calls per year about young people and hand sanitiser. Nationally, the number has stayed roughly constant but Umeå`s team say they`re seeing more of it locally right now.

The plea from youth workers: talk to your teenagers. Set boundaries. Pay attention.
