Hello!
Today was Runeberg's day in Finland. It's the birthday of Johan Ludwig Runeberg, the Finnish national poet. Together with Elias Lönnrot, he built what is seen to most as the basis of the whole Finnish culture and national identity.
He became a celebrated figure while still alive, and we still celebrate him by raising the flag every year on February the 5th.
According to the legend, Runeberg's torte was invented by his wife for him when he was feeling particularly keen for sweet pastries. As she didn't have any pastries to give she decided to bake something from the ingredients she had at the time. The recipe found in her personal cookbook may be a variation from an earlier recipe by confectioner Lars Astenius.
Anyway here's the pastry:
Runeberg's torte
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/2.8
Exposure: 1/50 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200
This pastry is traditionally served on Runeberg's day. This one was lovingly baked by my dear wife Vera. :)

Yes you do... and so did all the others I delegated to. :) If I'm not entirely wrong with my math, I delegated altogether some 5500 SP today. I hope they all appreciate it!

No, I just went with giving 15 of those most loyal according to steem.supply, and then added some accounts I personally deemed worthy. I might have forgotten some good names, but I'll probably add some of those along the further we continue this Steem journey. :)

No, he is not. You are a complete troll who talks a lot of good crap. :D Your light-hearted commentary is often what is needed. Sometimes you get a little overexited but nobody is perfect. On balance, your influence is positive. Keep it coming!

Beautiful photo of a very delicious Runeberg's torte!
How nice to celebrate and remind the whole country of its cultural heritage!
This is very special as people are celebrating a famous poet!
The colour of the dish makes me feel that the torte could fly at any moment! Wouldn't it be nice if one can 'teleport' cakes and delicious torte to share with friends through the Internet?!
Cheers.

Runeberg wrote many classics including the national anthem. I'd say that while Runeberg was an important poet, I have some reservations as to the content of some of his work. While I can very much appreciate Finnish nation building mainly because of the alternative to that project, I find nationalism somewhat dubious, particularly in light of what happened in the following century. Also, the way Runeberg praises glorious death is whitewashing the extreme violence, utter horror and waste of life that war is. Defensive wars are sometimes completely necessary, though. I'd say, however, the destructive potential of war has become so great that pacifism is supremely justified in our age.

Bruniberg is not only the remains of his literary heritage and his delicious cake, but also a famous statue in the famous Esplanade Park in the city center near the port of Helsinki. The statue was sculpted by the sculptor Walter Runeberg in 1855. As part of the Great Statue In the lower part of the statue is a statue of a Finnish girl raising a banner with a text that mentions the Finnish national anthem. In addition, there is an annual prize known as the "Ronyberg Prize" awarded to the best producer in Finnish literature,

The best recipes that have been invented have been either by accident or made with what you had on hand. As the different combinations of Chinese meals have resulted from mixing food that was left for a last-minute diner, I read it online.
The dessert looks delicious. I get the quesillos very well. Greetings continues to give us beautiful and delicious dishes.
