It's shaping up to be a Very Waffle Weekend

It's shaping up to be a Very Waffle Weekend
How does it happen that some things—like pre-Lenten pigging out—catch on like wildfire, spawning heaps of pancakes and paczkis and fastnachts all over the world, while at the same time Swedish people are scarfing waffles on Annunciation Day and the rest of us don't even try to glom on? Our point is, we like waffles. Consider this our official notice that we are hereby glomming on big time.
If you care to join us as we hop on this bandwagon, we'll be hitting the American Swedish (1900 Pattison Ave.) this Sat., Mar. 16—a.k.a. tomorrow—from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for an early Waffle Day celebration. Confusing note: Waffle Day, traditionally tied as it is to Annunciation Day, is actually on Mar. 25. Except that Annunciation Day is actually in April this year, because the 25th falls during Holy Week. So no, this Philadelphian version of Waffle Day falls neither on Actual Waffle Day nor on the Catholic holiday it celebrates that is also not on Waffle Day. The good news is: who cares? You’re spending your Saturday munching on waffles with whipped cream and jam, and your $10 entry fee also includes beverages and museum admission.
