Need something to make your world go around? LOVE CONQUERS ALL DAY reminds us that there is no greater force in our lives. From brotherly love to romantic love to a self-sacrificing love, remember that love does conquer all. The Bible has a lot to say on the subject, but I think 1 Corinthians 13 says it best – “…love never fails.”
It’s also NATIONAL REPEAT DAY.
Education and Information
CHIMBORAZO DAY celebrates the highest point on Earth. Mount Everest, standing at 29,029 feet is the highest point above sea level, but the top of Chimborazo Mountain, in the Andes range, is the farthest point from the center of the Earth. With an elevation of 20,000 feet, it was not successfully climbed until 1880 when Edward Whymper made it to the top. The summit of Chimborazo Mountain is actually 6.800 feet further from the Earth’s center than Everest.
It’s also NATIONAL REPEAT DAY.
Belly up to the Bar
Next, we have NATIONAL BUBBLY DAY. Grab a bottle of your favorite sparkling wine or champagne and celebrate life and all of its goodness.
On Today’s Menu…
Let’s scramble it up for NATIONAL EGG DAY. What can’t you do with this protein packed food? Fry ‘em, boil ‘em, turn them into omelets and souffles, add them to recipes and don’t forget about the creamed eggs over toast. Make a white gravy – sausage if you like – add sliced hard-boiled eggs and serve over toast.
It’s also NATIONAL REPEAT DAY.
Remember those Macaroons we talked about last month? Let’s add some chocolate to the mix and celebrate NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MACAROON DAY. Coconut and chocolate are a good combination that is hard to beat.
It’s also…Ahhh, you know.
