My mother used to say, “Life is like a sandwich, the messier it is the better it tastes.” Perhaps that perspective will help us celebrate these three holidays today:

International Hummus Day

chickpea delight – YAY!

a creamy plant-based protein

good and good for you

National Apple Pie Day

signature dessert

symbol of America

and Vermont state pie

Crouton Day

Tasty bites of bread

fried, baked or flavor-infused

simply a topping

NOTE: Tomorrow will be somewhat different. It’s National Underground America Day.
