Daily Holidays - March 6

[Sherman A1]

National Frozen Food Day While you might expect Frozen Food Day to be the invention of a manufacturer of frozen food, it was actually inaugurated by US President Ronald Reagan in 1984! Food frozen slowly is not very tasty when defrosted, but ‘flash’ frozen food – the technique of freezing food quickly – keeps the food as fresh and delicious as it was when it was first frozen. The flash freezing technique was developed by none other than Clarence Birdseye, inspired by seeing Inuit eating thawed fish which had been frozen months earlier. You might recognise the Birdseye name from the frozen food section . https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/frozen-food-day/

National White Chocolate Cheesecake Day While you might expect cheesecake recipes to have originated in the 20th Century, you’d be wrong. A form of cheesecake actually dates back to the Ancient Greeks and seems to have been on offer at the first Olympic Games in 776 BC! The recipe spread from there and has been refined along the way, especially with the use of cream cheese rather than the flour, honey and cheese ingredients of the earliest version.

Namesake Day encourages you to explore the roots of your name, to find out if you were named after somebody of something in particular, and to research and connect with people who share the same name as you. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/namesake-day/

Dentist Day Dentists aren’t the most popular people in the world. But without them, we’d all have terrible teeth, and no doubt forget to floss or get regular check-ups. What would we do without dentists when we get tooth-ache, and need help with braces and fillings? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/dentists-day/

2. Happy Namesake Day!

I was named for my two grandmothers. My granddaughter now has a variation of that name.

And it is Michelangelo's birthday: http://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/Michelangelo.html

3. Considering what some parents name their children...

... I feel for the poor tyke. "Major Major Major" is nothing.
