National Vanilla Cupcake Day: More
They are fairy cakes (British English) since they are small
enough to be eaten by the Fairies. In Australian English they are
fairy cakes or patty cakes. The first known American recipe was in
American Cookery in 1796.
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Vanilla Cupcake Day'. They are fairy cakes in Britain since they are small enough to be eaten by the Fairies. In Australian English they are fairy cakes or patty cakes. The first known American recipe was in American Cookery in 1796.
[The Hankster says] And at my house they are called finger food since they can be grabbed and eaten on the run (and more easily hidden in ones pockets).
Tomorrow is the 'Marine Corps Birthday'. The traditional ball (dance) and cake-cutting ceremony takes place on this date each year. The Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines on this day in 1775. They were disbanded after the Revolutionary War, but reestablished as the United States Marine Corps in 1798.
Let's think of others tomorrow. It will be 'National Forget-Me-Not Day: More the official flower is of course, the Forget-Me-Not, but the emphasis is on getting in contact with others to insure them that they are not forgotten.
[The Hankster says] If you feel funny just saying something out of the blue, use this day to start something good for both of you. If a mind is a terrible thing to waste, a heart must be a worst thing to neglect.
It's 'Sesame Street Day' tomorrow. Created in 2009 on the 40th anniversary of its first broadcast.
Get them debits and credits balanced. Tomorrow is 'International Accounting (Accounts) Day'. There are other dates for this day. This one celebrates the publishing in 1494, in Venice, of the book 'Summat de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita' or 'Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportion'. In it was the first mention of double-entry bookkeeping.
[The Hankster says] Numbers and math and columns, oh my. I am so glad others like to do this stuff. It drives me crazy (crazyer).
Get 'um reading. It will be 'National Young Readers Day ' tomorrow. On the second Tuesday of November during National Young Readers Week. It was created in 1989 by Pizza Hut and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.
[The Hankster says] Consider this a start date and keep it up through the year.
A great idea for tomorrow. It will be 'Veterans Educate Today’s Students Day:'. In Ohio, a day for veterans to visit schools and discuss their experiences.
[The Hankster says] There may be something like this in your school. I would like to sit in myself.
