SUMMARY:National Fettuccine Alfredo Day
DESCRIPTION:On February 7th\, National Fettuccine Alfredo Day celebrates one of the world’s favorite ways to enjoy a plate of fettuccine. \n\n\n \n#FettuccineAlfredoDay\nFettuccine alfredo enjoys a history as rich as its flavor. Created in 1908\, fettuccine was made out of love and concern by an Italian restauranteur. Alfredo di Lelio’s concern for his pregnant wife’s lack of appetite caused him to put his talents to work. The birth of their first son depended on it. His recipe of noodles\, cheese\, and butter not only encouraged her to eat but she also inspired him to put it on the menu\, too. Since then\, the century-old dish has been satisfying pasta lovers around the world ever since. \nNot only that but fettuccine alfredo lovers experiment with the dish in several ways. Add shrimp\, mushrooms or spinach. The meal also pairs well with other vegetables and proteins\, too. Cut the richness with a white wine and finish with a fruit dessert. \nHOW TO OBSERVE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY\nCelebrate with a big dish of fettuccine Alfredo! Invite friends and family to join you\, too. As you know\, it’s not a celebration if you don’t. Make it yourself (we provide a recipe). Or\, go to your favorite Italian restaurant. When you do\, be sure to give them a shout out. \nWhile you’re celebrating\, share your photos\, recipes\, and more using #FettuccineAlfredoDay to post on social media. \n\n\n \nNATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY HISTORY\nThe earliest printed record of the observance we’ve found is a January 26\, 2005\, Akron Beacon Journal article listing upcoming February food holidays. Several newspapers across the nation follow suit\, including the list in their food pages. But\, none of them included their source or how long the day has been celebrated. However\, the grandson of Alfredo Di Lelio contacted National Day Calendar in 2015 to provide the history behind the delicious pasta dish. We provide his letter below. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Send A Card To A Friend Day
DESCRIPTION:National Send A Card To A Friend Day on February 7th reminds us to send friendly cheer through the mail. We do that by sending a note or message on a card to the friends we hold dear. Throughout the year\, we often think about our friends. We wonder how they are\, miss them\, and remember fond memories of times shared. \n\n\n \n#SendACardToAFriendDay\nSending a card to someone for a variety of reasons dates back to ancient times. The Chinese would send elegantly designed messages as well as the Egyptians\, though on different types of paper. During the Rennaisance\, greeting cards gained popularity for specific holidays and events. Victorian times increased the use of the greeting card for Valentine’s Day\, Christmas\, birthdays\, and more. \nWhile our more digital era may turn away from the flowery language of greeting cards\, a surprising 80 percent of adults still purchase them. While they may only make these purchases for special occasions and are more likely to include them with a gift when they’re attending an event\, they are purchasing. That said\, retailers continue to reduce their footprint in the greeting card aisle. \nAll the facts would add up to a faster fading “Just Thinking of You” type of card. However nice it is to receive sweet text\, wouldn’t it be less of a chore to go to the mailbox if occasionally you found a notecard from a friend? \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE SEND A CARD TO A FRIEND DAY\nSend a card to your friends. You can buy cards at a store\, or you can make them yourself. Whichever way you choose\, set aside a few minutes to write a short note or a long note in a card and send one to make a friend’s day! Use #SendACardToAFriendDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL SEND A CARD TO FRIEND DAY HISTORY\nNational Day Calendar continues researching the origins of this friendly holiday. As we do\, we’re also making friends that we need to send cards to\, too! \nSource Link
