NIBBLETS OF INFORMATION >>>

Today IS Starbucks Free Pastry Day: We would have to add "sort of," because you do have to buy some coffee in order to get the benefits of a sugary treat, but still, the offer is there. Starbucks holds the free pastry offer only in the morning hours. It ends at 10:30 a.m.

Matlagning!: The Scandinavian Cultural Center hosts a Swedish cooking class from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, call 253.584.2690.

Happy Birthday: Today would have been Ivar Haglund's 105th birthday. To celebrate, Ivar's restaurants offer a special deal for the day: buy one entrée, get the second entrée for only $1.05. Nice. For South Sound locations, go here.
