Two Reasons To Celebrate Today!

   There are two big, yet generally unknown, "holidays"
scheduled for November 3rd.
   It is, first of all, "Housewife Day." A day to recognize
the importance of stay at home wives and moms.
  According to the holidayinsights web site it's a day
to celebrate and thank all of the ladies who stay home
to tend to the house and family.
  There's no information as to who came up with
"Housewife Day" although the website writers
suggest it probably came from a housewife somewhere
who choose to stay out of the spotlight.
  As if that's not reason enough to celebrate November
3rd is also recognized as "Sandwich Day!"
 This popular culinary attraction was developed by
an Englishman, John Montagu, the 4th.Earl of
Sandwich.
 He was, of course, not a housewife!
 In 1762 he came up with the idea of placing a
portion of meat between two pieces of bread.
  Just under  two hundred and fifty years later we're
still enjoying the sandwich although, in my case,
mine usually favor a peanut butter and jelly
filling between the slices of bread.
  (A quick suggestion here. Always
put the peanut butter on the bread before the
jelly!)
  I'll try to recognize both "holidays" today.
  I'll ask my housewife to make me a sandwich!
  Then I'll say "Thank you!"
  Hope you'll be celebrating too and that all
your NEWS is good!
