National Brandied Fruit Day Brandied Fruit has been a favorite treat for those who enjoy the delicious bite of fruit with the full-bodied flavor of Brandy. Brandy is perhaps the ultimate distillation of fruit, as it starts its life as a bountiful wine with a delightful bouquet, which is then distilled down into the spirit that is Brandy. From there, the addition of sugar, heat, and a select number of herbs, spices, and occasionally additional fruit is added to create this wonderful treat with the rich bite. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/brandied-fruit-day/Waiter's Day Anybody whos worked as a waiter for even a couple of days knows just how tough it can be. Basically, your job is never, ever done. Have you brought that family their food? Great, now you can bring that booth full of noisy jocks their bill. Done that? Looks like that elderly couple would like a coffee refill, so dont keep them waiting. Done that? Good, because that lady over there that ordered a salad with the dressing separately got her salad doused in dressing and is demanding another one. And while youre in the kitchen, why dont you bring the aforementioned family their desserts, because their children are crying that they want ice cream, not a roast beef? Waiters Day is a long-overdue day during which we should all take a moment to show our appreciation for those who work long hours on their feet, often for minimum wage. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/waiters-day/
Suspenders Day What do you wear when your pants are too high to support the use of a belt? When you have fantastically, almost comically huge pants like a clown, no mere strap of leather wrapped about your waist is going to do the job. Time for a formal party? Nothing says formal like a strapping pair of suspenders slung over your shoulder. Suspenders day is the day to make sure the world remembers the fashion and handsomeness of the much maligned suspender. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/suspenders-day/
Information Overload Day The world buzzes around us full of noise, from the ding of our phones announcing a new text-message to the Youve got mail announcement letting us know weve got yet another piece of doubtless important information. The phone rings, the TV chirps out commercials and admonishments, and the radio drones on endlessly about upcoming elections and whats going on in the world of Hollywood. Information Overload Day reminds us that theres such a thing as too much information, and sometimes this constant inundation can leave actually have a negative impact on our happiness and productivity. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/information-overload-day/
