I love simple holidays that don’t need a lot of explanation. This is a great example of one of those- today is Hug a GI day! We all know someone who served. Regardless if it was last year or 50 years ago, they all deserve a hug. So stop reading this and go hug them!
This is truly a great day to celebrate- it’s Pizza Day! Pizza is a lot older than you think. The earliest records of pizzas are from the 10th century in Sicily! Granted, what we now know as pizza looks very different from that. In fact, what Italians call pizza today is a lot different than what Americans typically prepare. But… Read more »
Today is a good day. Today is Tater Tot day. For years the humble tater tot was considered inferior to the french fry and was mostly seen in tater tot hot dish (or casserole depending on your place of origin) and elementary schools. Now this delectable option is showing up everywhere and it’s about damn time. Have you ever eaten… Read more »
Today is Spouse’s Day. The origins of this holiday are lost to time, but we know it’s been around since the mid 1980’s. But does that really matter? I say it does not.

I also know that never leaving the house messes with my mental health in serious ways. It’s truly a mixed bag. One thing that… Read more »
Today is one of those days that’s pretty self-explanatory. Kiss a Ginger Day! This day was created in 2009 in response to “Kick A Ginger Day” that was created a few years earlier based on an episode of South Park. Insert your own joke here. Red hair is very rare- only 1% to 2% of the population are natural red… Read more »
I get a lot of (mostly) good natured grief over some of my entertainment choices. Specifically as of late, folks find it odd/ unusual/ crazy that I have become a fan of watching YouTube videos of birds. Most notably I am a fan of Mr Max TV- a moluccan cockatoo, and Einstein the Talking Texan Parrot- an African grey parrot,… Read more »
Everything is better with bacon. That’s just a fact. And today is the day to celebrate that! Almost any sandwich can be improved with bacon. They are a tasty addition to salads and cheeses. There are many different bacon deserts to try. And let’s not forget all of ways to wear bacon! There are bacon prints available on aprons, T… Read more »
I can’t tell you the last time I stayed up until midnight on New Years Eve. Sometimes I’ll watch the ball drop in New York City, which is at 11pm my time, but sometimes I don’t even make it that far into the night. This year I might actually try to stay up. Not because I have anything big planned-… Read more »
