No, I'm not talking about a tall, dark and handsome certain someone; although, mmm mmmm mmmm, that would be nice. I am talking about IKEA. Now take a moment to re-read the previous adjectives, and I am certain you will agree.
*moment*
As I's thinkin' about IKEA, I thinked to myself- "Self, what does IKEA even mean?? How can I endorse a place that I don't even know what is? It could mean 'flea jumping off a dog's back' in Swedish for all I know!"
So lucky for you, I will now satisfy that burning curiosity!
According to IKEAfans.com:
"IKEA is an acronym made up of four letters: I K E A. I is for Ingvar, the first name of the founder of IKEA stores. K is for Kamprad, the last name of the founder of IKEA stores. E is for Elmtaryd, the name of the farm where Ingvar Kamprad grew up. A is for Agunnaryd, the name of the village near Kamprad's boyhood home. That's where the name IKEA came from!"
WOAH! WHO KNEW, RIGHT??
This to-do list pass off was to eat IKEA meatballs. I had heard that they were the best Swedish meatballs... EVER... so I just had to try them.
Now, another thing that we tried is called "Princess Cake"-- it was sponge cake, whipped cream, raspberry jam, and booger green marzipan. Why that made the creator think of princesses is a little beyond me...
Some people call it mucus, but it's snot.
Lastly, we ALSO tried a Spinach Crepe combo. Delicious!
Pretty much what I'm trying to say here is that IKEA's food is as great as the actual place. Wow! This was a fabulous pass-off.
