NATIONAL MOUSSE DAY

On November 30th, National Mousse Day serves up a delicious treat that can be savory or sweet.

What can we say about mousse? The word “mousse” in French means “foam.” Typically, we whip egg whites or cream to make a mousse. Depending on the type of mousse, its consistency can vary from light and airy to thick and creamy.

This versatile dish lends itself well to both desserts and savory recipes. In fact, several types of mousse can be served at the same meal. From a smokey salmon mousse as the first course to a tart lemon or creamy chocolate mousse for dessert, there is virtually no limit to the flavors we can incorporate into a mousse.

Mousse can also be used as a filling for other dishes such as pastries and parfaits. A savory mousse pairs well with fruit and cheese plates making beautiful appetizers, too.

COMPUTER SECURITY DAY

Computer Security Day on November 30th reminds us to protect our computers. Every day, computers become faster and more advanced. Protecting the resources, tools, and information on them protects the people who use them, too.

Since the first home computer, how we use them has changed. Today, we use computers to stay connected. We bank and work from home. While computers are on every campus in every school, many gain an education right from home. We do our taxes, attend meetings, and research complex issues all on computers.

It makes sense to do everything possible to keep these powerful machines secure. Right? Some of them hold a lifetime of data. Precious and irreplaceable photos, journals, novels, passwords. It is vital to protect even a portion of that information. Our very identity exists on computers.

Identity theft, fraud, ransomware, and viruses constantly attack our computers. They seek the most vulnerable users. In an instant, they take us offline, derailing a lifetime of accomplishment. Protect your family and business by giving your computers a security check-up.

STAY HOME BECAUSE YOU’RE WELL DAY

On November 30th, Stay Home Because You’re Well Day gives us an excuse to stay in for the day. We all need a break, and it is nice to take it when we are healthy and can enjoy it. That said, if everyone in the working world took the same day to stay home because we were well, chaos would ensue.

We all need time alone. It is essential to disconnect from our daily routines. Sometimes a checklist of things we need to do calls to us. Others have no idea what we’d do left to our own devices.

Being home when we are healthy can come with a sense of accomplishment, too. We can tackle tasks we’ve been wanting to complete for a while. It can also be an opportunity for some much-needed relaxation. Everyone sees a healthy day off differently. Use it as you see fit.

NATIONAL PERSONAL SPACE DAY

National Personal Space Day on November 30th promotes kindness toward sensitivities and supports healing and self-protection by recognizing everyone’s right to decide when and how to be touched.

Touch can hurt. Many Bacteria and viruses can harm.

The day provides an opportunity to be aware of a person’s unspoken need for space or a gentler and welcomed touch. When you see someone wearing the peach symbol, forgo the handshake or hug and offer a smile and another way to show you care.

NATIONAL MISSISSIPPI DAY

On November 30th, National Mississippi Day recognizes the home of the Delta blues and the 20th state to join the union.

NATIONAL MASON JAR DAY

On November 30th, National Mason Jar Day commemorates an ingenious invention that’s been bringing families together for generations.

Simply by opening a jar of fruit preserves or spicy salsa, we enjoy the flavors of summer in the midst of winter. For those who love to pickle, the Mason jar rescues fruits and veggies from the garden. From green beans to watermelon, we make them sweet or spicy!

NATIONAL SECONDHAND SUNDAY

On Sunday after Thanksgiving we celebrate national Secondhand Sunday to embrace secondhand gifting, while supporting second hand sellers and circular fashion during the peak holiday shopping season.

Here’s looking at you Peeps! Happy Holidays. 🎈

@taci,

Good Evening I am not liking those Mountain Lions I can see your son having fun
doing his thing. 😎I would warn him what is out there. I have a feeling he already knows.
Still be careful.

Taci I just came from outside not long ago I am very warm and toasty in the TS Hoodie
with the pockets. I love it we are in the 20’s tonight and I had to go look for a cat and walk
Poppy one last time. There is not a soul out nothing but cold and wind. I felt snug as bug
in a rug. LOL! 😎

Mr. Poppy is getting blinged up tomorrow. Taci I am not even close to finishing my Holiday
Decorations I have an important medical test coming up next week. I have some things up
the rest I will finish when I get my results the same day. 😎💕I am so glad I have nice
Waterford Crystal Ornaments to go on my tree. I heard Christmas Decorations will cost
a small fortune this year. I always put mine up nice and safe. I don’t need to buy anything
to finish this year. I may get some fresh Poinsettias they make everything look beautiful. 💕

Hi Mom! 💕😎I know extreme but so much fun.

Taci enjoy your night I am going to jump in the shower and use my Perlier Bath Products😎💕
