December 29, 2016

Today we celebrate:


Tick Tock Day – There are only two days left in 2016. Time is ticking down until this year is nothing but a memory. Is there anything that you haven’t finished that needs to be done this year? If so, better get on it now. I haven't yet lost the 20 pounds I wanted to lose this year. Do you think I have a chance of completing that goal before the end of the year?

National Pepper Pot Day – This is a food, believe it or not. It is a kind of soup or stew that uses tripe, vegetables, pepper (of course), among other things. According to legend, this is the soup that kept our Continental army alive when food was scarce during the Revolutionary War. I have read that they even put the leather from their boots in it out of desperation for food.
