Events and Celebrations
ACCORDING TO HOYLE DAY is actually a tribute to Edmond Hoyle, a 15th century English lawyer who was the definitive expert on card and board games of the time. He published books on these games, stating the rules and proper conduct that should be carried out. If anyone had an issue with the game, they would break out the book and say, “According to Hoyle…” and that would be the end of it. Whist, backgammon, and chess are just some of the games he wrote about.
Don’t be a sourpuss just because it’s NATIONAL LEMON JUICE DAY. This stuff is great for making food taste better, look better, and, of course, for making that totally refreshing drink, lemonade.
Our delectable dish of the day is considered American Chinese cuisine. NATIONAL CHOP SUEY DAY combines meat, eggs, veggies, and a thick sauce that holds it all together. The origins of this dish are lost in history, but when it is put together just the way you like it, does it really matter how it got here?
