Nuttin' Bedda'

Today is National Hoagie Day!  A 'hoagie' is a term for a large sandwich (usually a sub from what i've seen) that is usually used in Philly. That is what google tells me about the term, anyway. I already knew there were a lot of names for sub sandwiches like grinders, hoagies, and i've even heard train-wreck once? But that guy was weird. However, since today is "Hoagie" day and not "Sub" Day (Which we already had btw), I think I'll go purchase and subsequently eat a Philly Cheesesteak.

A-peel-ing Snacks

Today is National Candied Orange Peel Day! You may not know exactly what a candied orange peel is, but if you've had fruitcake, then you've most likely eaten some. It's fairly simple to make some without the fruitcake if you wanted to taste their flavour alone. Just peel strips of the orange peel off, boil them, wash them, boil them again, wash them again, boil some sugar into some water, add the peels, wait a little bit (somewhere under half an hour), take the peels out, let them dry for about an hour, dip 'em in chocolate, put 'em in the fridge, let the chocolate harden, eat 'em. Simple right? Is actually is and can probably be done in just around an hour and a half total. It's almost... TOO easy... I'm gonna go make some for breakfast. Breakfast is always better when it involves sugar. And chocolate. Don't judge me, there's oranges in it, too!

I'm proud of myself for using that title pun on a day that wasn't about bananas, by the way.

Rugged Day

Today is Lumpy Rug Day! It is apparently a day to celebrate rugs that are not lumpy! Which is kind of misleading. Here I was looking ahead at my calendar thinking "My, what a strange and fantastically unique holiday to celebrate such a random item. AND the random item has such an odd adjective attached to it." when in reality the day celebrates the opposite of what it says. However, under the current circumstances of my home having recently obtained new rugs, I choose to celebrate their lumpiness and ability to trip you randomly. For some reason, rugs are not packaged in such a way that they are already flat when you purchase them. They are almost always lumpy, or at least bumpy. In case you don't know the difference, bumpiness is like a ripple while lumpiness is like moguls.
