Two food holidays tomorrow:
- 'National Corn on the Cob Day'.
[The Hankster says] Before you even start, go directly to the store and buy some extra sets of those corn skewers. If you remember the last time you got some, that there were only an odd number. That is so you will have to buy some more. So do it now. Licking buttery fingers is fun but not polite.
- 'National German Chocolate Cake Day'.
[The Hankster says] My favorite. And if you haven't made a mess with the corn and butter, you may have some also as a treat.
Tomorrow is 'National Making Life Beautiful Day'.
[The Hankster says] A worthy endeavor, I must say.
And for those in 'Metropolis', Illinois it will be 'Superman Days' as part of the June 11-14 festival.
