Today’s National Day needs no recipe. It’s National Grape Popsicle Day. Easy enough. Make up a batch of Grape Cool-Aid. Pour it into plastic cups, place in the freezer.

Today is the third Friday in May. On the National Front, this is a very busy day. We should ride our bikes to work today. Of course that would require we have a job, that the job isn’t in the next city or town, and that we own a bike. If this is a day you can get behind, more power to ya.

Today is National Pick Strawberries Day. This day was created to encourage us to get out, enjoy fresh air and pick some sweet, beautiful strawberries. While venturing out into the strawberry field near you and plucking those berries right off the vine would be best, it might not always be possible.

Today is National No Dirty Dishes Day. Before we get into all the options of avoiding a sink of dirty dishes, I have one question. Who are these people? I’m sorry, but this looks like a whole lot more than just one meal. Just saying.
