Tomorrow we have two food holidays:
- 'National Onion Rings Day'.
[The Hankster says] Love them, but it is quite a chore tying the ends of those long green onions together to form a ring. There just should be an easier way. Perhaps something like a Daisy Chain would work.
- 'National Chocolate Eclair Day'.
[The Hankster says] After all that work of fixen and eating, you will appreciate the quick sugar high of this dessert.
Tomorrow is 'Stupid Guy Thing Day'.
[The Hankster says] We've been doing it for a long time, so I don't think it is just for a chance to be on a YouTube home video. The survivors, get to be honored on a future father's Day.
Get down for 'Old Time Fiddlers Contest and Festival' starting tomorrow.. Third week in June. June 22-27 in 2015. In Wieser, Idaho, during Old Time Fiddlers Week. There should be an event near you.
