- National Spicy Hermit Cookie Day: More
It is called the hermit cookie because it's preparation

texture.
- National Raisin Bran Cereal Day" More
Skinner's Raisin Bran, may be the first commercial brand in 1926.
Two food related holidays for tomorrow:
- 'National Spicy Hermit Cookie Day'. It is called the hermit cookie because it's preparation and spices (cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg) make it last a long time, in a cool dry secluded place. Raisins, nuts and dates give it a chewy texture.
[The Hankster says] I bet they are small, so I will take a dozen and a tall cold glass of milk.
- 'National Raisin Bran Cereal Day'. Skinner's Raisin Bran, may be the first commercial brand in 1926.
[The Hankster says] I'll have some in a tall bowl with some cold milk. Oh, and banana slices. And a Hermit cookie on the side.
Following closely to our food holidays is tomorrow's 'National
Bundt (Pan) Day'. From Wikipedia: 'The style of mold in North
America was popularized in the 1950s and 60s, after cookware
manufacturer Nordic Ware trademarked the name 'Bundt' and began
producing Bundt pans from cast aluminum. Publicity from Pillsbury
saw the cakes gain widespread popularity'.
[The Hankster says] I wonder if you could make a big Bundt shaped Hermit cookie?
Tomorrow is 'National Philanthropy Day'. Since 1985 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Definition: 'the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes'.
[The Hankster says] Great concept, but you don't need to give a lot to do a lot of good.
OK, it's here again. tomorrow is 'National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day'. Since 1999 by Whirlpool Home Appliances.
[The Hankster says] I have ordered my Hazmat suit, appropriate chemicals and disposable bags and containers. I have also put up the required signs outside my house, stating the hazardous work to take place inside. It is time to go to the depth and breath of that faithful machine and put it right.The green moldy stuff is nothing, but the mass that is humming and glowing, has me worried.
Want to be another you tomorrow but blame the result on someone else? It will be 'George Spelvin Day or More Than One Role Day'. From Wikipedia: 'George Spelvin, Georgette Spelvin, and Georgina Spelvin are the traditional pseudonyms used in programs in American theater. The reasons for the use of an alternate name vary. Actors who do not want to be credited, or whose names would otherwise appear twice because they are playing more than one role in a production, may adopt a pseudonym.
Actors who
are members of the AFL-CIO trade union of professional actors known as Actors' Equity Association, but are working under a non-union contract and wish to avoid the significant penalties ranging from substantial fines to revocation of union membership that could result from working under non-union contracts, also use pseudonyms'.
Sharpen them quill pens. Tomorrow is 'I Love to Write Day'. Founded in 2002 by Delaware Author John Riddle.
