JUL 26, 26.. CHOCOLATE ..

CHOCOLATE.. 

But it really is..

HOT FUDGE..

    

National Hot Fudge Sundae Day arrives every July 25th.

Hot Fudge Sundae Day celebrates one of America’s most beloved desserts. This iconic treat, with its rich history and irresistible combination of warm fudge and cold ice cream, offers pure nostalgic bliss. Gather your favorite toppings, visit a local parlor, or craft your own masterpiece at home to join the sweet celebration!

After all! This IS a Program of Honesty! 

IF there weren't, at least several of you, who also check out NATIONAL TODAY Holidays along with Patti and myself, I might very well have skipped this Holiday!!

But, when the Hot Fudge Sundae Holiday IS the first, the top of the list of Holidays, there was no missing it!

The defining feature of a hot fudge sundae is, of course, the warm, rich chocolate fudge sauce. Unlike cold chocolate syrup, hot fudge creates a delightful contrast with the cold ice cream, offering a unique texture and intensified flavor.

JUL 24, 26.. SELF-CARE..

 Patti, thank you so very much for calling Self Care to my attention. 

This is yet another NATIONAL TODAY Holiday that I completely overlooked.

SELF CARE DAY..

International Self-Care Day champions personal well-being every July 24th.

Yes! Self Care can mean staying in bed and sleeping!

But Self Care is a lot more than that sleeping!

Self Care is about prioritizing your mental, physical, and emotional needs. 

Dr. Bill Hettler, a co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) in 1976, is widely recognized for his pioneering work in the wellness movement. He developed the 'Six Dimensions of Wellness' model, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and occupational well-being. His contributions have significantly shaped how we understand and approach holistic self-care.

There you have Self Care.

JUL 23, 26.. HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?

I did some “Internet  Surfing” about how hot is too hot.

For the average person, temperatures above 104°F (40°C) can be unsafe for prolonged exposure and may lead to heat-related illnesses.

The exact “too hot” temperature will vary based on temperature, humidity, individual health, and acclimatization.

A heat index of 90°F or higher can indicate potentially dangerous conditions, especially with prolonged exposure or physical activity.

THIS Patti and I KNOW!

We can “Dress for Cold Weather”. No one can “Dress for Extreme Hot Weather.”

Summer down in Arizona is far too hot for both Patti and myself!

Thank You NATIONAL TODAY !!

Hot Enough For Ya Day arrives every July 23rd.

This holiday is a lighthearted way to acknowledge the peak of summer’s sweltering heat. It’s a day to embrace the warmth with a sense of humor, finding creative ways to stay cool and comfortable. So, grab a cold drink, find some shade, and join in the playful banter about the weather.

JUL 22, 26 (1 / 2).. HAMMOCK DAY.. MATHEMATICAL Pi DAY..

Before we begin, I would be willing for you to ask me.. 

"Captain? What on earth have you to say about Hammocks? You stress that either you or Patti have to have actual experience before you use a NATIONAL TODAY Holiday!?"

"IF, but only IF, you have ever spent ten (10) long days, crossing the Pacific Ocean, as an enlisted member of the United States Marine Corps, in a Navy Troop Ship The Floyd Clymer! Then we can talk about the hell of Hammocks!"

You are in tiers of 6 or 7 Hammocks above and below you. You can only get "out and on deck in the open air" for one hour a day. IF someone above you gets sea sick and vomits it comes down on those below him!

Talk about Hell! I don't know how anyone of us maintained our sanity!

Then finally you debark ship climbing down the side of the troop ship landing nets into a "Peter Boat LCVP" and again, we all got seasick heading for the landing beach!

National Hammock Day swings into action every July 22nd.

Celebrate the ultimate symbol of relaxation and leisure. Originating with the Mayans, hammocks offer a perfect escape for napping, reading, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Find your favorite spot, string up a hammock, and drift into blissful comfort.

YOU read the rest!!

What is Pi?

Google says:

Pi (written as the Greek symbol π ) is a special mathematical number. It represents the ratio of any circle's distance around its edge (circumference) to its distance across the middle (diameter). No matter how big or small a circle is, its circumference is always about 3.14 times its diameter.

Pi Approximation Day, observed every July 22, honors the mathematical constant pi through its fraction 22/7.

This day invites both math enthusiasts and pie lovers to explore the wonders of geometry and enjoy a sweet treat. Join the fun by baking a pie, solving a math puzzle, or sharing your love for numbers! Pi Approximation Day, observed every July 22, honors the mathematical constant pi through its fraction 22/7.

JUL 21, 26 (1 / 2).. JUNK FOOD..

 Before deciding to publish this, the number one, top of the list of all NATIONAL TODAY Holidays for today, I checked it out and found it interesting.

So .. Taa Daa .. Junk Food.. Here we go!

The below burger sure "looks good" to me. Patti does not ever eat hamburgers, more specifically any red meat!

National Junk Food Day invites everyone to indulge in their favorite treats every July 21st.

This special day is a "guilt-free pass" to enjoy your delicious snacks, fast food, and desserts without reservation. Embrace the joy of your preferred comfort foods, share your indulgences, and savor every bite..

National Junk Food Day Hero

Ray Kroc

Ray Kroc was an American businessman who joined McDonald's in 1955. He built it into one of the world's most successful fast-food corporations. He is credited with expanding the franchise model globally, transforming the small restaurant into an international empire. His vision helped popularize the concept of readily available, consistent 'junk food' for the masses.

Potato chips consistently rank among America’s most popular junk foods, with billions of dollars in sales annually. Their versatility and wide range of flavors make them a perennial favorite.

While enjoyable in moderation, frequent consumption of junk food can lead to health issues such as weight gain, increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure due to its high sugar, salt, and fat content.

Studies have shown that when we're stressed, we're more likely drawn towards things like cakes and sweets.

NATIONAL TODAY suggested we take a photo of one of our favorite Junk Foods.

Patti and I both love Costco's Croutons!

We keep our croutons in two plastic jugs.

We put them into small, empty plastic hummus cups. I eat mine with chopsticks. Patti with her fingers.
