“A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture!” –AL II:42
Today, October 5, is Global James Bond Day, World Teacher Day, and World Smile Day. In the United States, it’s also National Storytelling Day, National Get Funky Day, National Diversity Day, National Denim Day, National Apple Betty Day, and Do Something Nice Day. Some people also celebrate Plaidurday on the first Friday of October. That’s an awful lot of celebrating to do in one day. Let’s get started with a tasty recipe.
