Goes Great With Everything.

Today is Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are to thanks for some of the best cookies, cakes, muffins, and most importantly: cookie cakes. They are one of the only key ingredients in some of the best baked goods (by best baked goods, I mean anything with chocolate) that can also be eaten as a snack. In fact, chocolate chip cookies, if made from scratch, are the only thing I know I can make and snack on during almost every step of the baking process. From dough to done, it's all good. So celebrate today by grabbing a bag of chocolate chips and eating as many as you can allow yourself before feeling sick/guilty.

Organized by flavor.

Today is National Organize Your Home Office Day! This is another one of those fancy self-explanatory holidays. It does however, have a few loopholes. In fact, I own one of those loopholes. I have no home office to clean. What I DO have, however, is a laptop and a desktop PC that could both use a little re-organization of some stray files. It's not as bad on a Mac, because it seems to know where files are much faster when I ask the Spotlight in the upper part of the screen. When I ask my PC where a file is, it not only doesn't remember, it chooses to look in all the least likely places for it to be before it finds it. Don't be fooled! I'm neither a Mac or PC. It's just that in that one area, Macs are most definitely better. Don't feel bad, PC's, you still have a lot more video games.

Today is also National Chip and Dip Day! This day leaves a lot to the imagination. What kind of chip do I eat? Potato? Tortilla? ... Corn Tortilla? I might even be inclined to eat french fries just because they are called chips sometimes. Which, by the way, opens a whole new floodgate of dips to choose from. Maybe you don't know what kind of chip goes best with what dip. Here are some of my favourite combos to help get you started.

Potato + Sour Cream & Onion
Potato + French Onion
Tortilla + Salsa
Tortilla + Queso
Apple Chips + Nothing. Apple chips are delicious. Dip them straight into your mouth.

Delicious Math

Today is National Potato Chip Day! Potato chips are one of the most popular snacks in america, and they come in a large variety of flavours. I don't know what it is about potatoes, but almost anything that is made with them in the recipe is pure culinary gold. Well, today you should obviously celebrate potato chips by eating your favourite kind, and maybe buy a few of those weird sounding flavours that you haven't tried before. Have a discussion with your fellow food loving friends about all things potato chips to find out their favourite flavour. If potato chips aren't necessarily your thing then don't worry, because...

Today is also National Pi Day! Yes, that's right. Today being March 14th, or 3/14, makes it the perfect day to celebrate the mathematical Pi. In case you haven't noticed yet or you just don't know why that matters, it's because 3, 1, and 4 are the most recognized numbers of Pi (3.14). Now, I'm imagining a 50's jock reading this and saying in a Moose-esque voice "I ain't gonna cel'brate a NERD hol'day!" Well, that's all well and good if you don't want to, but the celebration entails eating pie. So think on that before you let this holiday slide on by. You don't need to recite the entire sequence of Pi. Although... you could try I suppose?

Con queso.

Today is National Tortilla Chip Day. Today is an exceptionally tastier day than yesterday was, and there are limitless possibilities to the ways to celebrate. Chips and dip, nachos, tortilla soup, or even just eating the chips themselves. This is a very addicting food, indeed. My favorite brand of tortilla chips would have to be Tostito's Hint of JalepeƱo. However, they only make those in scoop-chip form these days, and I really enjoyed the traditional triangle over that shape. Nevertheless, there are many, many kinds of tortilla chips and many ways to eat them. So many, in fact, that I could go this whole day by incorporating them into everything I eat. In fact, I have been and will be doing that very thing. Nothing like nachos for breakfast.

No place for a mighty warrior.

Today is National Corn Chip Day: a day to celebrate one of the most addicting snacks in the world! Just so the less food-educated are aware, corn chips and potato chips are NOT the same thing. Corn chips are usually dipped in salsa, cheese, chili, or crushed up and baked into some delicious crunchy mexican recipes. In my opinion, corn chips will reign supreme over potato chips for all time, as they are delicious to eat even alone and without any seasoning because they always taste great. So take some time today to stuff your face with corn chips in celebration of this day dedicated to them.
