Another Delicious National Day
Today was tough to pick just one National Day to focus in on. Four of the National Days inspire amazing talking points, none “food” based. On the other hand, two are great food focal points, just not together. Let me explain . . .

Wow – today is one very busy National Stuff Day. We’ve got Drive-Thru Day, Cousins Day, Amelia Earhart Day, Cowboy Day, Thermal Engineer Day and my personal favorite – Tequila Day. Now up until a couple of weeks ago, we could have easily combined Drive-Thru and Tequila Day. During the stay-at-home orders you could get food to go from your favorite Mexican Restaurant that included bar service. Yeah, crazy.

Today is National Junk Food Day. It’s that one day a year when we are free to celebrate all that is bad for us, guilt free. That is not to say consequence free, just no guilt attached. Everything in life has consequences.

Did you know that the oldest residential street still in existence in America is Elfreth’s Alley? The entire reason that this street exists was for cart access for artisans toting their wares from their workshops to the trade based in Philadelphia’s Delaware River Ports. The buildings along the alleyway were erected in 1703; offering craftsmen of the time a place to set up shop on the lower levels, with living quarters above.

Has another year past since we last toasted National Daiquiri Day? Wish I could say time flies when we’re having fun, but I think time flying has more to do with getting old. The older we get, the more the days sail by. I think we reach a point in life when we realize there is an expiration date.

Today is National Caviar Day. If you happen to have money to burn, treat yourself to the real deal – Sturgeon Fish Eggs on toast. Since several species of Sturgeon Fish produce true Caviar, caviar is found in a variety of colors and textures, depending upon the species.

Yeah – it’s National Gummy Worm Day! Last year, we made our own Gummy Worms (what a mess!). But then last year life was canceled, so what else did we have to do?

Today is National Macaroni and Cheese Day. Now I suppose you could grate a few different cheeses, create a yummy sauce, boil up some macaroni and put the two together. There’s a soft spot in every heart for Macaroni and Cheese. Warm childhood memories.

Today we honor and celebrate the state of Firsts – Delaware. First to declare independence and establish a state constitution. Delaware boasts the earliest Swedish settlers in 1638, and the first to build a log cabin. There is reason Delaware’s motto is “The First State.”

Today is National Two-Eye Color Day to celebrate those rare people with two different colored eyes. I bring this up because Hubby is one of those with two different colored eyes. One is brown most of the time, changing to a green olive or hazel, the other is blue that darkens to a gray.
