Egg Day
Yesterday was Rotisserie Chicken Day and today is Egg Day, so now I guess we all know which came first. I am a late adopter of eggs as a breakfast item. When I was a kid, my dad made bacon … Continue reading
Hamburger Day
I guess there are people who don’t like hamburgers, but I’m glad I don’t know any. (Or if I do, I don’t know that I know you. Leave me in the dark, please.) When I was a really little kid, … Continue reading

Tap Dance Day
When I was in grade school, I took dance and gymnastics lessons. I don’t remember how the lessons broke down; I think it was 10 minutes of warmup, then 15 minutes each of tap, ballet, and tumbling, with shoe changes … Continue reading

Mushroom Hunting Day
Until we moved here, I never lived where this was a thing—or if I did, I didn’t know it was a thing, because it wasn’t a thing for us. The only person in my family who liked mushrooms was my … Continue reading
Biographer’s Day
National Biographers’ Day is celebrated annually on the day that Samuel Johnson met his biographer, James Boswell, in 1763. I have somehow never read Boswell, but I have pretty much always loved biographies. The school library at my grade school … Continue reading
Cough Drop Day
Does anyone remember Luden’s? More candy than cough drop? I guess you can still buy them, but I don’t recall having seen them for ages. I loved those things in grade school—probably because my mother never, EVER bought them; I … Continue reading
Hostess Cupcake Day
Growing up, these were a huge treat for me. That frosting you could peel off and eat separately, the chocolate cake, the creamy middle. Excellent with milk. I was lucky that they came in packs of two. If they had … Continue reading
