Happy Waffle Day!

Waffle Day

Waffle Day is a tradition that is celebrated in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, on March 25, which is also the Feast of the Annunciation, upon which waffles are typically eaten. The shift from the religious celebration to Waffle Day occurred because the Swedish Vårfrudagen, meaning "Our Lady's Day", sounds similar to Våffeldagen in faster speech, and so over time Swedes began calling it Waffle Day and celebrating by eating waffles.

As my youngest son told me yesterday, "waffles are pancakes with abs."

I do NOT know where he gets it from.

I just texted our friend in Norway with a Happy Waffle Day. He replied the same. He said he and his fiance were slacking and haven't made any yet.
