With a batch of cardamon buns ready for the oven, things are dandy! My son roasted his first chicken last weekend & loved the ease of the “Wil Reidie method”.
You know how much of a David Mitchell fan I am . During a conversation about saunas and how Angela Merkel always wore a bathing suit in a sauna the guest comedians discussed this and asked David what his view point was. He admitted to wearing his trunks . He was asked why ? it’s not as if it’s not warm in there . To this he replied “it has nothing to do with being warm , it was to do with not wanting people to see his penis and testicles” it made me laugh 🤭
Clifton Fadimon said that “a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.”
What an excellent quote!
Certainly seems appropriate to me for many of my experiences. As it should be.
Going to try the beer Löyly! Thanks Wil.
It is heaven!
Thank you for the aromas now wafting through my sense memories!
The beer sauna trick is just the most delicious thing.
"If you’ve never had a hot sausage during your sauna then you’re in for a treat."
That is a loaded sentence! 🫣
Jokes aside, this is a lovely piece, Wil. The notion of seeing things with fresh eyes is inspiring.
Thanks buddy. Hope you’re doing well!

You've made my day. So happy to be of help!!
I always loved going to the sauna in my years in Helsinki - one of the highlights of life there, truly
I have to say I was not much for the slapping birch branches thingy. A bridge too far, that. But everything else about sauna, absolutely loved it.
My fave sauna was the old public one, Kotiharjun
Yeah, sauna has quickly become an important part of my life.
Beer + sausage in the sauna?! Truly superior culture 👌
They get many things right, it’s true. Hope you’re good, Jenny.
You too Wil! 🫶
