NATIONAL CHICKEN CORDON BLEU DAY

Each year on April 4th, National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day celebrates a blue ribbon dish that combines chicken, ham, and cheese.

The French term Cordon Bleu translates to “Blue Ribbon.” This dish is a take on the popular Veal Cordon Bleu. It is a flattened chicken breast that is wrapped around ham (or sometimes prosciutto or Canadian bacon) and cheese such as Swiss or Gruyere. Toothpicks hold the chicken together before being dipped in an egg wash and breaded.

The earliest recipe we were able to find was in a March 1964 printing of the Cincinnati Enquirer by the Cincinnati Gourmet Stanley Demos. Despite some misconceptions, it is an American dish. Demos mentions in his column that he got the idea to try chicken instead of veal “to be different.” It has been a popular dish since.

On April 4th each year, National School Librarian Day recognizes the professionals who keep the school library in working order. School librarians spend long hours keeping the library organized. They are also dedicated to helping our children find the resources they need to keep learning. School librarians are the people who create an environment where students can learn every day of the year. Their work is an impressive accomplishment.

National Walk Around Things Day on April 4th each year is a holiday open to interpretation. Very little information is available regarding this celebration, so we’ll give it our best to guide you through it.

This day may be looked at both figuratively and literally. Literally, one would not walk through a puddle of water or mud; one would walk around it. One would not walk under a ladder or over broken glass, one would walk around both.

Figuratively, one would “walk around” avoiding certain problems or potential problems. One would also “walk around” avoiding arguments, certain situations, or unwanted or uncomfortable conversations.

Another possible intent of this day could very well be to walk around things such as a neighborhood, park, or shopping mall. While we’re walking around we might also walk around obstacles or structures we come across during our stroll. We might find a fountain or swingset to walk around in a park. At the mall, benches and planters interrupt our easy stride. Of course, at home, we have all sorts of things that we walk around willingly. Sometimes the reason we walk around these items is pure avoidance like laundry or clutter. We might also walk around a sleeping pet.

NATIONAL VITAMIN C DAY

National Vitamin C Day on April 4th each year shares all the ways vitamin C nurtures and benefits our health, inside and out!

While Vitamin C is widely recognized for warding off colds, the vitamin is also clinically proven to be a powerhouse in other areas of health, too. For example, Vitamin C may reduce blood pressure and potentially lower the risk of heart disease. Those at risk of gout can lower that risk by increasing their intake of Vitamin C.

Topically, Vitamin C keeps skin healthy by protecting it from oxidative damage caused by daily exposure to light, heat, and pollution. The popularity of topical vitamin C products has risen dramatically.

With the right product, adding Vitamin C to your beauty regimen can brighten your skin, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy collagen production. Vitamin C brightens just about any health routine.

The first Thursday in April is National Burrito Day!

April 4th is Jeep 4×4 Day! 🦆

I noticed the same thing in SB’s area. The TS was missing. It also did not appear on Monday’s list of sale items that go until Sunday. I’m hoping it was a computer glitch. I also liked the purse that aired just prior to midnight. I missed the presentation and checked again at 2 am and found that the video was still missing. I was able to watch later, however, the price jumped upwards and consequently I let it go bye bye. It’s in my favorites if ever it is marked down again. This was one time that the host mentioned you needed to buy prior to midnight. By the way, that purse is a bit smaller than the TS and would probably work better on trips. It is very similar to the TS and it goes over the handle to your luggage. I assume it would fold easily into the backpack.

I am not sure if I am ready to fly. I’ve been watching and reading about the mishaps, especially with Boeing. Right now I am happy that I have an excuse due to the Eustachian Tubes which could cause severe ear aches. Oh well, maybe someday I will change my mind.

@taci,
