Welcome to June. On this the first day of my favorite month, there is a lot happening on the National Calendar. Count ‘em – eight different celebrations to choose from. You would think with all that going on, we’d have a few Foodie Days. With the exception of Hazelnut Cake Day, everything else is non-food related. Oh well.

Celebrate Memorial Day with the Flavors of Utah
Today we celebrate Memorial Day (the last Monday in May – and this year it’s about as late as it can get) and the 45th state to join the Union, Utah. Memorial Day is so much more than just an excuse for a three-day weekend and the start of the Backyard Barbecue Season.

Today is the third and final Ember Days of Summer. Ember Days can be traced back to the early days of the Church in Rome. The argument often heard by Catholics is that Ember Days are based not on faith and scripture but on paganism. That it isn’t “Christian”.

Today is Ember Days Friday of Summer. It is the first Friday following Pentecost Sunday. Summer Embers Days are meant to remind us to give thanks for God’s blessings of Nature and to appreciate those who toil the land. There is a great place of honor for those who labor in the fields, tend to the flocks and care for the land.

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. Once the liquid begins to freeze, insert popsicle sticks, continue to freeze until solid. Too much trouble? That’s okay, you’ll find popsicles in the frozen section of the grocery store.

Today is the first Wednesday following Pentecost Sunday. On the Catholic Calendars of old, it would have been a day of fasting and prayer as Ember Days of Pentecost, or Ember Days of Summer. Four times a year, particular Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays were once distinct days of devotion in the early Church.

Today is National Brown Bag It Day. It’s also Tijuana Tuesday in our house. My guys Brown Bag It most days. And Taco Fixings travel so well.

Wyoming is one of my favorite states for a variety of reason. Wyoming was the first territory to grant women the right to vote. Although the 10th largest state by area, it has the smallest population with just over a half a million total. Yet millions of tourists annually trek to Yellowstone’s Old Faithful. That means more people visit a single spot within state than the combined total who live there.

Pentecost, like Easter, is a moveable feast. Pentecost is dependent upon Easter. While Easter falls on the first Sunday after the March Equinox of March 21, Pentecost Sunday occurs fifty days after Easter Sunday. Confused? Don’t be.

Today is National Vanilla Pudding Day. We all know what that means – today we indulge our sweet cravings with a cold, creamy bowl of vanilla pudding. But did you know puddings today have no resemblance to the puddings of medieval times.

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.
Continue reading “There’s More Than One Reason to Party”Let’s Go Strawberry Picking
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 we observe one of the most delicious days of the year – Devil’s Food Cake Day. Devil’s Food Cake is sinfully richer than most other chocolate cakes. And with good reason.

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.
