Waffle? Really?
Yeah, in Sweden there is an official Waffle Day and it is celebrated today along with the celebration of the start of spring, March 25th! Vårfrudagen (Our Lady’s Day) is associated with the day Mary received the message that she would give birth to Jesus. The day is also known as Annunciation Day. any confusion? Well, there were some dialects and people began to pronounce Vårfrudagen as Våffeldagen, which essentially sounds like "våffel" in turn meaning "waffle." Kind of silly, huh?
Ben & I actually celebrated it last night, Våffeldagen-Eve! Since, the holiday landed on a Wednesday, we couldn't really celebrate it in the morning, so we celebrated last night by eating waffles with berries and I thought to myself, "we need something else to go with this, waffles for dinner, that's it?" So, we made a Tortilla Española. We thought, "This makes sense, waffles are that of Scandanavian and Tortilla Española is Spanish! Since, Ben is part Scandinavian and I'm Spanish, this holiday was celebrated with even more charm!! and yes, it was yum.
Happy Våffeldagen (Waffle Day) (!)

hi all !
i haven't been good about making any postings...i've been really busy, swimmin all over. trying to pack things as we try to sell our house, volunteering like crazy, tutoring third-grader triplets, been out of town...we went to LA this past weekend to visit a cousin and stayed at the W Hotel, the place was rad. absolutely gorgeous, we had our own chill area separated from our room...had some amazing food: breakfast at The Little Door, some Cuban food at Porto's in Glendale, had some street food after bar hopping and dancing (Bourdain would be proud), went shopping all over including Mark the Cobrasnake's yard sale off of Fairfax near RVCA, visited Griffith Park and went to keep our heads busy (after an absolutely horrifying hang over) at the Observatory...we definitely got spoiled this past weekend.
so how about that health care reform?
