Project Runeberg,

On Feburary 5, we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johan Ludvig Runeberg. Project Runeberg's front page has been updated to remind everybody about this, http://runeberg.org/

If you live in Finland, where "J.L." has the status of national poet, you can buy "Runeberg's cupcakes", a special kind of pastry at cafes. If you cannot get this, I suggest you try to find the some replacement cake or cookies, and have a look at the official celebration website at http://www.runeberg.net/

Or you can bake your own. Here is the recipe in English, http://www.dlc.fi/~marianna/gourmet/15_21.htm
