rantings & ramblings
Mead Day! Raise a glass (or quaff a drinking horn) to the ancient and delightful honey-based brew (save the bees, y’all!). Whether a home brewer, long-time enthusiast, or just mead-curious, let’s celebrate the rich history, unique flavors, and sweet taste of tradition!
It’s World Four Leaf Clover Day. Maybe take a moment to search for one, sharing the luck with friends and family. I won’t, because it’s too hot to be outside and because I will never find one. But whether you find one or not, may you still have a day full of good fortune!
Lughnasadh marks the start of the harvest and honors the Celtic god Lugh, master of skills and crafts. Give thanks for the earth’s bounty, gather with loved ones, bake (and break) bread, and share stories of Lugh’s legendary feats. Blessed Lughnasadh to all who observe!
Pusheen wishes you a happy Avocado Day and hopes you can celebrate with some creamy, delicious avocado goodness on toast, in a salad or sandwich, as guacamole, on a hamburger, or even straight from a single-serve tub! It won’t break the bank, no matter what folks of a certain generation say.
Today has been a sensory overload day, but there’s still a few hour left to pull a Golden Girls and celebrate the combined holidays of Friendship Day and Cheesecake Day with a decadent slice enjoyed in the kitchen with good company.
It’s Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day – forget cheese in mousetraps; buy cheese to use in a new recipe, get a really expensive cheese, or finally plunk down the cheddar to try one you’ve always wanted to experience. Things don’t work out? That’s okay. The cheese understands; it does not judge.
