What's new

Welcome to National Kahlua, Polar Bear, Retro, Strawberry, Anosmia Day! Kahlua is a coffee liqueur that is also sed in a lot of desserts, but if you have anosmia, you, sadly, will not be able to smell it, or smell strawberries. Strawberries? In February? But perhaps they can celebrate polar bears with a polar bear plunge while wearing a totally retro bathing suit. Just leave me out of it, I hate the cold!

Welcome to National Skip the Straw, Pistachio, and Tell a Fairy Tale Day! On Skip the Straw Day, it might be nice to avoid using those plastic tubes that get so publicly stuck up sea turtles' noses. The first paper straw invented in 1888 by one Marvin Stone. Also, don't forget to eat a few pistachios while telling fairy tales and drinking from a glass instead of sipping from a straw!

Today is a great day! It is National Chili, Toast, Clam Chowder, and Chocolate Covered Nut Day! Chili with Toast on a cold day is just the ticket, and I love a good clam chowder. Chocolate covered nuts for dessert, anyone? I prefer hazelnuts, but what would be your choice?

And today is... National Tortilla Chip Day! And... no, that's it. Just chips. So off you go, go get yourself some chips and dip, or perhaps make one of those taco dips, yourself, or a taco salad. I never liked taco salad with chips, myself. By the time you reach the chips at the very bottom, you've already eaten all the taco part at the top, and you are stuck eating dry chips all by themselves.

Welcome to National Banana Bread, Dog Biscuit, and Tile Day! Also, WORLD Spa Day! So today, make your pooch a dog biscuit out of banana bread while admiring some tiles? And do not forget to give yourself a spa! You can make your own spa at home with some simple things from the store, like face masks for one or two dollars, a salt foot bath, and perhaps a fizzy bath bomb. Enjoy!
