SUMMARY:National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day
DESCRIPTION:Pastrami lovers across the country look forward to their favorite sandwich on January 14th as they recognize National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#HotPastramiSandwichDay\n\n\n\nPopular delicatessen meat\, pastrami is usually made from beef. Others make their pastrami sandwich with pork\, mutton\, or turkey. Before refrigeration\, butchers originally created pastrami as a way to preserve meat. To make pastrami\, they placed the raw meat in brine. Then they partially dried it and seasoned it with various herbs and spices to be smoked and steamed. \nA wave of Romanian Jewish immigration introduced pastrami (pronounced pastróme)\, a Romanian specialty\, in the second half of the 19th century. Early English references used the spelling “pastrama” before the modified “pastrami” spelling was used. \nNew York kosher butcher\, Sussman Volk earns credit for producing the first pastrami sandwich in 1887. He claimed to have gotten the recipe from a Romanian friend in exchange for storing his luggage. Due to the popularity of his sandwich\, Volk converted his butcher shop into a restaurant to sell pastrami sandwiches. \n\n\n \nClassic Pastrami\n\nWhen served\, the deli typically slices the pastrami and places it between two slices of rye bread. Sometimes\, the classic New York deli sandwich (pastrami on rye) is served with coleslaw and Russian dressing.\nWhen pastrami and coleslaw combine\, it’s called a Rachel sandwich. Similar to a Reuben which is made with corned beef and sauerkraut.\nIn Los Angeles\, they serve the classic pastrami sandwich with hot pastrami right out of the steamer. They slice it very thin and wet from the brine then layered on double-baked Jewish-style rye bread. It is traditionally accompanied by yellow mustard and pickles.\nIn Salt Lake City\, in the early 1960s\, Greek immigrants introduced a hamburger topped with pastrami and a special sauce. This pastrami burger remains a staple of local burger chains in Utah.\n\n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICH DAY\nServe up your favorite pastrami sandwich. What toppings will you add? Try making several versions. Here are some other suggestions for celebrating: \n\nAdd sliced green apples and sharp cheddar cheese to your sandwich.\nInvite friends to build their own sandwiches.\nGive a shout-out to your favorite restaurant and deli with the best pastrami sandwich.\nWhile you’re at it\, what’s the best beverage to wash down a hot pastrami sandwich?\nAre you a master sandwich maker? Share your sandwich stacking tips.\nWhen it comes to the bread only the best will do. Pastrami and rye are classic. What other bread makes terrific pastrami sandwiches?\nMix up a variety of spreads. Make them hot\, spicy\, sweet\, sour\, or creamy\, and find out which one compliments pastrami best.\nRead the Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli by Ted Merwin while munching on your creation.\nWatch a food show while enjoying your delicious pastrami sandwich.\n\nTry this Hot Pastrami Sandwich recipe. \nUse #HotPastramiSandwichDay to post on social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Rubber Ducky Day
DESCRIPTION:According to a 1973 Sesame Street calendar\, Rubber Duckie’s Birthday is January 13th so around the country it’s National Rubber Ducky Day! A friend of Ernie and Big Bird\, Duckie made his debut in a February 1970 episode. \n\n\n \n#NationalRubberDuckyDay\nThe rubber ducky (also spelled duckie) has come a long way from his first concept as a chew toy for children. While the origin of the first rubber ducky is uncertain\, many rubber molded toys came about when rubber manufacturing developed in the late 1800s. They produced a variety of toys from dolls and various animal shapes\, including the rubber duck. \nIn 1928\, Landon Smart Lawrence received the earliest patent for a rubber duck toy. His clever design weighted the toy so that when it tipped it returned to an upright position. The sketch included with the patent was that of a duck. \nDuring World Wars I and II\, rubber was a valuable commodity. Rationing became mandatory and by the 1940s with the advent of plastic\, the rubber ducky began being produced in vinyl and plastic. Russian Sculptor Peter Ganine sculpted many animal figures. One\, a duck\, he later designed and patented into a floating toy that closely resembles the rubber ducky we have become familiar with today. \nSales of the iconic yellow rubber ducky we’ve come to know today soared in Britain in 2001. Why? A British Tabloid\, The Sun\, reported Queen Elizabeth II had a rubber duck in her bathroom that wore an inflatable crown. \nThe rubber ducky became a Toy Hall of Fame inductee in 2013. Founded in 1998\, the Hall of Fame has only inducted 52 other toys. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY\nSpend time with your favorite rubber ducky. Share photos of your rubber ducky collection. Discover all the different kinds of rubber duckies available. Use #NationalRubberDuckyDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY HISTORY\nWhile our research did not uncover the creator of National Rubber Ducky Day\, National Day Calendar® is pretty fond of the idea that it has to do with Sesame Street’s Rubber Duckie. \nSource Link:

SUMMARY:National Sticker Day
DESCRIPTION:National Sticker Day on January 13th recognizes all the ways stickers brighten up a page or send a special message. The day celebrates all things stickers\, from the custom printing of them to sharing stickers. Every sticker has a story. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#NationalStickerDay\n\n\n\nHistorians credit the European merchants in the 1880s as the first to stick labels to their products\, in an effort to promote their goods and wares to passersby. \nThese savvy\, pre-industrial entrepreneurs used a gum paste to get the labels to adhere and\, well\, stick: hence “stickers.” By the 1900s a sticker-specific paste had been developed and was widely used\, most notably on stamps\, which dried and then would re-apply when moistened. \nThe observance is in honor of R. Stanton Avery\, who was born on that day in 1907. Avery was the original creator of the adhesive label with removable backing. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL STICKER DAY\nNational Sticker Day offers so many ways to celebrate! We won’t limit it to any age group either\, so be sure to invite everyone to the party. That means everyone deserves a sticker whether they are shopping online\, promoting their business\, or learning something new.

SUMMARY:National Pharmacist Day
DESCRIPTION:National Pharmacist Day on January 12th annually recognizes and honors all pharmacists across the nation. \nCelebrating Teacher Appreciation Week on Spanning the Need w/Anthony Spano(Opens in a new browser tab) \n\n\n\n#NationalPharmacistDay\n\n\n\nThe role of pharmacists has shifted over the years. Where once they served as the classical “lick\, stick and pour” dispensary\, they now serve as an integrated member of the health care team. Pharmacists are often directly involved in patient care and play a vital role in a patient’s recovery. \nHistorically\, pharmacists primarily checked and distributed drugs to doctors for patient prescribed medication. In modern times\, pharmacists advise patients and health care providers on the selection\, dosages\, interactions\, and side effects of prescriptions. Additionally\, their role includes being a learned intermediary between a prescriber and a patient. By monitoring the health and progress of patients\, pharmacists can then ensure the safe and effective use of medication. \nPharmacists work long hours\, usually standing the entire time. Along with dispensing pills and providing advice on medications\, pharmacists also administer immunizations. Pharmacists who conduct research discover and test new medications\, too. \n\nDo you wonder how Agatha Christie came to know so much about poisons for her murder mysteries? She was once a pharmacy dispenser during World War I.\nCoca-Cola\, Pepsi\, Dr. Pepper\, and Ginger Ale were all invented by pharmacists\nBefore running for President of the United States\, Hubert Humphrey earned his pharmacy license and worked in his father’s pharmacy.\nWilliam Procter\, Jr.\, (May 3\, 1817 – February 10\, 1874) dedicated his career to the science of pharmacy. He wrote the first textbook on pharmacy for students in the United States and advocated for the founding of the American Pharmaceutical Association. His dedication earned him the name Father of Pharmacy.\n\nSpanning the Need’s Christmas Concert Special (TV Broadcast)(Opens in a new browser tab) \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PHARMACIST DAY\nAnyone who has required the services of a pharmacist\, take time to thank them today. Give them a shout-out. Whether they work in a facility or local pharmacy\, they will appreciate the good word. If you’re considering a career\, learn more about pharmacy. Use #NationalPharmacistDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL PHARMACIST DAY HISTORY\nWhile we were unable to find the exact creator of this observance\, it is indicated that it is likely an association of pharmaceutical groups that are founders. \nSource Link.

SUMMARY:National Milk Day
DESCRIPTION:National Milk Day on January 11th commemorates the day many think the first milk deliveries in glass bottles began in the United States. Alexander Campbell of the New York Dairy Company professed to the New York State Senate that his company was the first to make these deliveries in 1878. \n\n\n \n#NationalMilkDay \nThe United States and Australia export more milk and milk products than any other country. Those products include cheese\, yogurt\, ice cream\, butter\, cream\, powdered milk\, and much more. Throughout the world\, more than 6 billion people consume milk and the products we make from it. One of the reasons is because milk provides nutrients such as calcium\, potassium\, vitamin B12\, and vitamin A. \nProduction History\nDuring the Middle Ages\, people called milk the virtuous white liquor because alcoholic beverages were more reliable than water. In 1863\, French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur made it possible for milk and other food and drinks to be stored for more extended periods. He developed a method of killing harmful bacteria that is now called pasteurization. \nIn 1884\, an American doctor\, Hervey Thatcher of New York City\, developed the first modern glass milk bottle. He called it the “Thatcher’s Common Sense Milk Jar.” He used a waxed paper disk to seal the milk in the glass bottle. Later\, in 1932\, plastic-coated paper milk cartons were introduced commercially as a consequence of their invention by Victor W. Farris. \nModern industrial processes use milk to produce casein\, whey protein\, lactose\, condensed milk\, powdered milk\, and many other food-additive and industrial products. \nAnimals\nThe females of all mammal species can\, by definition\, produce milk. However\, cow milk dominates commercial production. In 2011. FAO estimates cows produced 85% of all milk worldwide. Apart from cattle\, many kinds of livestock contribute milk used by humans for dairy products. These animals include buffalo\, goat\, sheep\, camel\, donkey\, horse\, reindeer\, and yak. Like cattle\, their milk produces cream\, butter\, yogurt\, kefir\, ice cream\, and cheese\, too. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL MILK DAY\nThe ultimate way to celebrate is with a large glass of milk.

SUMMARY:National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day
DESCRIPTION:On National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day\, particular criteria must be present to celebrate. On January 11th\, unless the ideal conditions prevail\, some areas of the country may have to create them. So\, can we really? Well\, yes\, the name of the day says you can!  Life is short….let’s have fun! And good luck. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#StepInAPuddleAndSplashYourFriendsDay\n\n\n\nIf you are feeling somewhat mischievous (in a nice kind of way)\, join in on the celebration that all kids will love and all the young-at-heart adults will love just the same. Put on your boots\, raincoats\, slickers and grab some rubber duckies\, too. Skip along the way. Splashing in puddles can be a terrific way to relieve stress. There’s no right or wrong way to splashing or stepping in a puddle. We’re going to get wet and probably a little dirty no matter how you do it. So splash away. \nNow\, if you live in a more frozen region of the country\, we encourage you to find alternative ways to celebrate. We know you’ll be creative and safe. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE STEP IN A PUDDLE AND SPLASH YOUR FRIENDS DAY\nOn National Step in A Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day\, invite your besties to join you for a fun-filled time reliving those days when you didn’t worry about getting your feet wet. Dance and splash in the puddles! Sing some splashing in puddle songs or check out this great video expressing the joy of splashing in puddles. \nUse #StepInAPuddleAndSplashYourFriendsDay to post on social media. \nSource Link
