National Fluffernutter Day: More
A sandwich which is made with peanut butter and
marshmallow fluff.
Two food holidays for tomorrow:
- 'National Fluffernutter Day'. A sandwich which is made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff.
[The Hankster says] I assume you can still put jelly on top? Perhaps a multi layered sandwich with various layers of unspeakable goodness and calories. Yes, Dagwood Bumstead is my hero.
- 'National Pierogi Day'. Filled dumplings of East European origin. Fillings include mashed potato, potato and cheese, potato and onion, cheese, cabbage, sauerkraut, ground meat, mushroom, spinach or fruit.
[The Hankster says] I can eat them faster than you can make them. I like the basic potato (or potato variation) ones best, with a little sauerkraut on the side.
Tag your it. Tomorrow is 'American Touch Tag Day'. There are accounts of touch tag in ancient Rome.
[The Hankster says] Brings back old memories as a kid.
Get out that rhyming dictionary. tomorrow is 'National Poetry Day'. A UK celebration. First or Second Thursday in October. this year's theme is light.
[The Hankster says] I hope my rhyming dictionary has English to English translation. I only speak a little UKish, or is it Great Britianish?
