For Fun
COMMON SENSE DAY just happens to fall on the birthday of Will Rogers who remarked that “common sense ain’t that common”. Common sense is defined as “the applied knowledge of simple, sensible things” and while we sometimes overthink or miss some details, it never hurts to take a step back from a problem and break it down into smaller more digestible pieces.
On Today’s Menu…
ROAST DINNER DAY is actually British in origin, but I think it’s ok if we invite ourselves to the dinner table. A nicely cooked roast, along with potatoes, carrots and onions is a savory, mouthwatering, delicious meal.
NATIONAL CANDY DAY is one of the sweetest holidays around. This one should be easy to celebrate as you probably have some candy left over from Halloween.
