California Strawberry Day http://www.calstrawberry.comNational French Bread Day French national law dictates that French bread should contain only combinations of flour, yeast, salt and water.
French bread is a simple low-fat white flour bread, which is baked into long slender loaves called baguettes.
Most baguettes are around 2-3 in length, and 3-5 in thickness.
While a regular baguette is made with a direct addition of bakers yeast, it is not unusual for artisan-style loaves to be made with a poolish, biga or other bread pre-ferments to increase flavor complexity and other characteristics. http://foodimentary.com/2012/03/21/march-21-national-french-bread-day/

National Common Courtesy Day Politeness and consideration for others abound on Common Courtesy Day. Say please and thank you, hold doors open for others, and consider the feelings and perceptions of those around you throughout the day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/common-courtesy-day/
National Single Parent Day Ever tried raising kids? Single Parents Day celebrates those brave, stoical people that do it on their own, and in many cases without a safety net.
Most single parents didnt intend to be single parents when they started. Single parenthood usually comes about due to unfortunate and stressful events. Raising children even with two parents can be hard work, so take a moment to applaud those people who, usually through no fault of their own, are having to fly solo.
Children of single parents include Julia Roberts, Bradley Wiggins and Adele, so its clearly possible for single parents to raise very talented, high-achieving people. Despite this, there is still a stigma attached to single parent families. This is a real shame.
So if youre the child of a single parent, use this day to show them how much you appreciate all their hard work! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/single-parents-day/
Poetry Day A poet's work . . . to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and stop it from going to sleep.
