March 25: Waffle Day at the American Swedish Historical Museum

March 25: Waffle Day at the American Swedish Historical Museum
Sweden's traditional Waffle Day on March 25 originates with the celebration of the Virgin Mary's impregnation, not for any fun/twisted reason but because of a simple coincidence: Vårfrudagen, or "Lady Day," sounds a lot like Våffeldagen, or "Waffle Day." The tradition is more secular now, but the waffles are definitely still around. Unlike American renditions of the fluffy IHOP variety, Swedish waffles are thin, made with butter, cream and flour and are joined by strawberry jam and whipped cream rather than Aunt Jemima. For $10 you can welcome spring and toast the occasion this Sunday with coffee and lingonberry juice at the American Swedish Historical Museum (1900 Pattison Ave.) between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For more info, check out americanswedish.org or call 215-389-1776.
