Awareness Spotlight shines on…
AUTISM SUNDAY is an international awareness event that started in 2002 in the United Kingdom. This disorder affects millions of people worldwide and has such a range of symptoms. Today is about praying for patients on the spectrum and shining a bright light to dispel the darkness that can surround this condition.
Education and Information
It pains me to announce NATIONAL TOOTHACHE DAY. Proper dental hygiene can save you a lot of pain, money and time and that includes brushing, flossing and the use of mouth wash. It is a lot better to see the dentist for a routine cleaning than to fill a cavity or have a tooth pulled.
For Fun
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY is finally here. Since 1967 we have watched the best of the best battle it out on the gridiron every year. This year, the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philedephia Eagles. The latest line has the Chiefs edging out the Eagles. Go Chiefs!
What does Sling TV have to do with cutting the cord? NATIONAL CUT THE CORD DAY is all about switching from the tethered hold of cable and perusing the freedom of streaming TV. Sling thought it would be a good idea to sponsor this day of getting people to make the change from having to watch scheduled programming to choosing what you watch when you want to watch it.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL PORK RIND DAY is here for the big game. While many snacks will be devoured during the Super Bowl – these crispy fried pork pieces deserve a place on the special teams unit. They have a unique flavor and a texture all of their own.
Also, on the menu for today I am sure are chicken wings, buffalo chicken dip, bacon wrapped little smokies, sliders, chips and guac, chips and dip, cheese and meat platters and anything else that will feed our football frenzy.
This next one is a MAJOR holiday. NATIONAL PIZZA DAY doesn’t discriminate on what kind of pie catches your eye. Thin, thick or hand tossed crust – New York, Chicago, Detroit or St. Louis style are all options today. Pick your crust and toppings and enjoy. Bring it all on – except anchovies.
BAGEL AND LOX DAY brings us the tasty combination of a yummy bagel, cream cheese and a favorite topper – lox. The buttery silky salmon just pairs well and is a healthy addition to this dish.
