Today is Beverage Day! Over the year, we've seen a LOT of food holidays, but not very many days dedicated to any particular drink. Today is just vague enough to allow everyone to include themselves, too. Whether you like Coke from a can, Iced Tea in a cool glass, or a glass bottle of J2O because that's one of the best bottled beverages in existence but they only sell them in the UK and you are having withdrawals... *ahem*... then you can celebrate this holiday. I'll most likely be celebrating with water, juice, and tea (iced peach tea in the day and hot chamomile at night) because I'm trying to not drink coke as often as I did when i was younger. I could power through a case of coke in 1 or 2 days. Which isn't good for an 8 year old. So, enjoy your favourite beverage today!

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.
