Today we celebrate:


Roasted Chestnuts Day - You’ve all heard the phrase in that song by Nat King Cole, you know, the Christmas song...what’s the name of it? It’s on the tip of my tongue. Oh, right, silly me, it’s called The Christmas Song. Let’s get to roasting those chestnuts.

National Bouillabaisse Day – Fish stew that originated in Marseilles, France around 600 B.C. While the recipe has changed some over the last 2600 years, one thing has not changed. There has always been a variety of fishes used in the stew, usually 5-7 different types of “bony fish”.

Monkey Day – This is a day for the world to celebrate monkeys and other non-human primates such as lemurs and apes. This day began in 2000 as a joke by Casey Sorrow, an art student, but it has since spread internationally and is now celebrated in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany.
