Welcome to a brand-new month! We start off with the first day of August officially declared (by somebody!)... Girlfriend's Day – Ladies! Celebrate your girlfriends today. Write and talk about how much your girlfriend's mean to you. Plan a small party with your friends, or have a "Girls Night Out" with some of your co-workers. What local bars have specials? What local venues are great to

National Lasagna Day Time to celebrate that classic Italian dish. The multi-layered meal of pasta, sauce, cheese, and other fillings is surprisingly younger than you’d expect. Because tomatoes are a “New World Food”, pasta with tomatoes or sauce can only date back to the 16th Century

All or Nothing Day Time to take risks! Don’t take this day lightly. It’s time for you to live on the edge like it’s your last day. Do something you’ve always wanted to do. Be sure to make peace with enemies, but make sure to spend time with your family. What is something you’ve never had the courage or time to do but

Culinarians Days This is a day for basically anyone. As long as you cook, we can celebrate you. You don’t have to be a professional chef or go to culinary school. For the moms and dads who cook for their families. What is the hardest thing you’ve ever cooked? What is your best dish?

Amelia Earhart Day This holiday honors the famous aviation pioneer. Born on this day in 1897, Amelia Earhart broke many records including being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, in almost 15 hours, and solo nonstop coast to coast in just over 19 hours. Have you ever taken a 19 hour flight?  Would you ever want to flight around the world?

Ratcatchers Day You’d think that this holiday is to celebrate exterminators. Well, you are half right. It is actually to commemorate the Pied Piper of Hamelin (Germany), who was one of the most infamous Ratcatchers. He had magic music on his pipe/flute that would lure rats out of the city. When the town didn’t pay him, he used the magic to lure the children out of the city, never to return. What i

July 30th is the date set for the release of the new album from Vince Gill with ace studio steel guitarist Paul Franklin. The album is titled, "Bakersfield," and as the title implies, the songs Vince and Paul have covered for this set were chosen from the two biggest artists associated with the "Bakersfield Sound," Merle Haggard and the late Buck Owens.

Flitch Day A flitch is a side of bacon known as a slab. On this day, trials used to be held and any married couple that could prove that they had been faithful in the last year to each other would be awarded a flitch of bacon. Some say this is where the phrase “bringing home the bacon” comes from. How many people do you know wouldn’t bring home the bacon? How would the holiday would in today’s wor

National Caviar Day Something smells fishy. Enjoy some fish eggs on caviar day. Whitefish and Salmon make cheaper caviar but sturgeon produces the most expensive. Did you know that the most expensive caviar is in Russia in the Caspian Sea? What is a food that you would never eat? What is the most expensive thing you’ve ever eaten?

Peach ice Cream Day For only about 4 weeks there’s Peach season. Everything is peach including ice cream, and because she loves peach flavor, my wife Sweetie loves this time of year! What limited time ice cream or food do you go crazy for each year? What do you have peaches in? Where can you get the best ice cream in town?
