Today we celebrate:

National Creme Brulee Day – It appears that the British invented this dish at the University of Cambridge. Probably not all of the British, probably just a few of them, but I don't know which ones. So to make sure I don't miss whichever ones are responsible, I'll just thank everyone in this world that lays claim to even a drop of British blood. This is delicious.

National Junk Food Day – Normally we try to avoid junk food because we are trying to set a good example for our children. However, today feel free to have all the junk food you want for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tomorrow, it's back to eating healthy.

Legal Drinking Age Day – This day is a celebration of the establishment of the legal drinking age of 21 years old that was signed into law on July 17, 1984. If you are 21 years old or older, you may celebrate with an alcoholic beverage of your choice. However, I implore you to keep in mind that while you may have the right to drink, you do not have the right to risk your life or anyone else's life by driving while you are impaired by alcohol.

To celebrate everything in one day, get out of your doghouse by making creme brulee for whoever is mad at you.  Then hug your kids and make them happy with you by feeding them junk food.  Finally, if you are 21 years old or older, celebrate being of legal drinking age by having an alcoholic beverage with your junk food and creme brulee.  Just make sure you don’t drink and drive.
