The Korean War begins on this day in 1950
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
The Spotlight shines on…
All you need is love and GLOBAL BEATLES DAY has plenty of it. The Fab Four sang this hit over the first globally live TV link, where it was broadcast to 26 countries, simultaneously. They were already big, but this event put them in the stratosphere. Celebrate the music and culture of the Beatles today.
In the Kitchen
Let’s head into the kitchen for NATIONAL PARCHMENT DAY. PaperChef wants to remind us about the benefits of using parchment paper when cooking. It seals in moisture, nutrients, and flavor, plus it makes clean-up a whole lot easier.
For Fun
NATIONAL LEON DAY reminds us that we are exactly half-way in the year until Christmas. Leon (noel spelled backwards) is the perfect day for all of the crafters who make your own Christmas ornaments and other holiday trimmings to get started. It is good to plan, but I am gonna wait until after Thanksgiving to start getting ready for Christmas.
On Today’s Menu…
We go from insects (Beatles) to fish with NATIONAL CATFISH DAY. This day of celebrating these bottom feeders makes for good eating. Cook ‘em how you want, but in my opinion, a couple of fried catfish fillets, some corn on the cob, and hush puppies will do the job nicely.
Our dessert of the day is a real crowd pleaser. NATIONAL STRAWBERRY PARFAIT DAY takes the sweet fruit and layers it with the smooth taste of cream. Serve chilled and you have an awesome way to cool off.
