Trust in Mutts

Today is Mutt's Day! Having been an owner of what I'm 87% sure was a mutt, I can say that mutts make fantastic pets. See, a mutt is a pet (usually dog, although it may stretch over into other species) that is not thoroughbred. It can come from a line of simply two different breeds, or it can have a lot of diverse influence going on in it's DNA. Whatever it's ancestry may be, it always makes for a unique look and personality. These aren't the kinds of dogs that you'll see being paraded around the park like they own it all (their owner might, though). These are the kinds of dogs that like to run freely and get dirty playing with other dogs and small children. They make much better pets than thoroughbreds because they are so much less haughty. Mutts know they aren't perfect, but they're perfectly fine with it. They take what life gives them and make it work. Plus, if Mutts didn't exist, thoroughbreds wouldn't have anything going for them.

Here's a video of some mutts!

The Best Kind Of Anything

Today is National Cheesecake Day! Cheesecake is quite possibly the best kind of cake. It's smooth, rich, and filling. It also comes in just a bunch of different flavors, so there is absolutely no way you can get tired of it. I would say that there's no wrong way to eat it, but there actually is. If your cheesecake has actual cake in it (I'm looking at you, red velvet cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory), then it's wrong. Cheesecake is meant to be smooth and uninterrupted by some fluffy filler cake. I don't mean any offense to Cheesecake Factory. Their White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle is the best cheesecake they have in my opinion. Buuuuuuut, my workplace has been making these awesome mini-cheesecakes in such awesome flavours like Cookies n' Cream that have become my main source of cheesecake nutrition because they are so very good.

You Cheddar Believe It!

Today is Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day! I'm not quite sure I would qualify this as another food holiday. From what very little is available to me that deals with the meaning and history of today, I have more or less decided that the most prominent way to celebrate today is to go out and buy cheese for use in mouse traps. At least, that's what most people seem to be saying. I suppose it makes sense, since you purchase cheese only to sacrifice it in hopes of catching a mouse. I don't know if sacrifice is the best word, though... but I'm only a celebrator of days, not a namer of days.
