For Fun
NATIONAL HANDWRITING DAY brings back this personalized form of communication. It is nice to get away from the keyboards and sharpen our handwriting skills. Work on a journal or write a letter to celebrate the day. This day also happens to be the birthday of the author of one of the most famous signatures – John Hancock
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL PIE DAY says that if there is a crust underneath it, it counts. Chocolate Cream, Lemon Meringue, Mincemeat, Peach, or good ol’ American apple pie – any pie can be on the menu today.
Our dessert of the day comes by way of jolly old England. INTERNATIONAL STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING DAY consists of moist sponge cake made with finely chopped dates covered in toffee sauce and often served with custard, cream, or ice cream. They had me at toffee sauce.
