A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
Our tip of the tall, white, puffy hat goes out to NATIONAL PERSONAL CHEF DAY. These culinary experts may offer their services to different clients – preparing and delivering the meals while meeting any special dietary needs that are required. Thank you for the good eats.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
Today’s awareness spotlight shines on a rare disease that few people get. NATIONAL D.R.E.S.S SYNDROME DAY seeks to educate us about a condition where patients have adverse reactions to medication. Also called Drug-hypersensitivity Syndrome, once the patient gets over the effects of the reactions, they are liable to contract different diseases. Not much research has been conducted so let’s hope we can find some answers to this one.
Our Furry and Slithering Friends
We visit the animal kingdom for GUINEA PIG APPRECIATION DAY and WORLD SNAKE DAY. These two probably don’t belong in the same paragraph, as the poor guinea pig might not last, but the one thing they do have in common is that they both make good pets…with the word “good” being subjective. It’s fine for those who like them, but I will keep the slithering sidewinders outdoors and the guinea pigs on the guinea pig farm, or wherever they come from.
Information and Termination
LAKE SUPERIOR DAY – If any lake was to get its own day it should be this one. It’s surface covers 31,700 square miles and holds 10% of the world’s fresh water. At 1,332 feet deep, it can easily hold all of the other great lakes combined.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPRECIATION DAY is here! I appreciate and admire all of the work that goes into furthering this tech, and the smarts that go along with it – and someday I may trust it. Not yet – I have seen Terminator.
On Today’s Menu…
Popeye would love FRESH SPINACH DAY. Full of iron, fiber, and nutrients, it’ll grow your muscles big.
NATIONAL CHERRY DAY brings the sweetness and the antioxidants for an all-around healthy fruit. There is so much you can do with them and the folks at Cherry Republic have come up with quite a few delicious items, including my fav, their original cherry salsa.
You knew we couldn’t keep it all healthy today as we end up on NATIONAL CORN FRITTERS DAY. Now, corn has some healthy benefits, but by the time you add the butter and seasonings and then deep fry it in batter – the healthy part is pretty much out the window – however – they are quite tasty.
NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY is just one of those days you can’t miss. Not only because President Reagan declared it an official day in 1984 but it’s ice cream…any kind you want.
