March 25 is waffle day in Sweden. It's actually Vårfrudag, which kind of sounds like Våffeldag (when you pronounce them in Swedish). Vårfrudag is Our Lady's Day. It's the Christian holiday of Annunciation. It's the day Gabriel told Mary she was going to have a baby. It's 9 months before Christmas. Waffles have no connection to religion, but the words sounds the same, so why not eat waffles?!
Chris planned a light dinner of soup so we could splurge for dessert.
Magnus and Christine left a waffle maker in the house. Waffles here are thin and not sweet. The waffles are shaped like hearts, ahhhh.
It's traditional to eat them with whipped cream and jam. We had strawberry.
I like waffle day!
