Pepperoni Pizza Day

We have to agree with Mr. James, there’s a series of promises made in that fragrant, warm cardboard box. Rich, savory red sauce and the long tantalizing stretch of delicious cheese are held within, a delicious treasure to share with your friends and family, or hog all to yourself. The perfect topping for the delicious dish, well-spiced pepperoni. Pepperoni Pizza Day reminds you to give this classic a place in your day, and give yourself a break from cooking.

History of Pepperoni Pizza Day

Pepperoni pizza has become the standard pizza for people everywhere, and stands apart as the singularly most ordered type of pizza in the world. Whether you’re buying pizza for a birthday party or a day at the office, you know that you can guarantee a positive response by buying one topped with pepperoni. The pizza was believed to have first been conceived of in 1889 by Raffaele Esposito, though others believe that the first one was sold in 1738 in Naples, Italy.

Pizza is consumed at every point in the day, piping hot for dinner and lunch, and cold in the morning. Some people even profess that pizza tastes far better cold than it does hot from the oven, though we think that’s largely dependent on the type of pizza. Oh, and for those of you who are engaged in that whole ‘pineapple vs no-pineapple’ debate, we’re here to weigh in that pineapple is a fine pizza topping. You are allowed to disagree, of course, we’ve never been in the business of stopping people from going about the business of being wrong. We know that eventually, you’ll come around, but in the meantime, we can agree on pepperoni pizza being the best of pizzas.

Dear Diane ...

Thought you would be interested in viewing my daughter's current art passion. Suze has made about 23 books out of wood, leather, paper, etc. illustrating what bark beetles are doing to the forests of North America. She's been a hiker and backpacker and climber all her life, but the changes to favorite places are very worrisome.

RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 Is Launched (1967)

By the time Cunard's RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, often referred to simply as the QE2, ocean liner was built, airplanes had already largely supplanted ships for transatlantic travel. Thus, the vessel needed to be more efficient and versatile than her predecessors in the fleet. During her 39 years in service, she completed 806 transatlantic crossings, ferrying 2.5 million passengers across nearly six million miles of ocean.

Elizabeth Kenny (1880)

After breaking her wrist as a young girl, Kenny developed an interest in medicine and eventually became a nurse. While treating polio victims in her native Australia, she devised a treatment using hot compresses and passive exercise that differed drastically from the usual approach of immobilization. Kenny later brought her controversial treatment to the US, where it was initially met with skepticism but was ultimately accepted.

ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET

Sweden and France were the first countries to form the buffet concept. The smorgasbord originated in Sweden as a way to feed hungry out-of-town visitors. The offering started out small with just bread and butter, which in the Swedish language translates to “smorgasbord”. The menu grew to
include salted fish, eggs and boiled vegetables, moving on to cold cuts, warm entrees and salads, ending the spread with dessert and coffee. The French offered a more refined display featuring lavish “buffet” tables. Swedes brought their smorgasbord to America at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. The sizable selection of food was located atop a rotating platform inside the Three Crowns restaurant, inspiring other buffet-style restaurants in the 1950's.

John Philip Sousa (1854–1932) was an American composer and conductor of the late Romantic era, known primarily for American military marches. Showing great talent as a child, he mastered several instruments alongside an apprenticeship in the Marine Corps. After a period as a violinist and theater orchestra conductor, Sousa returned to the Marines for a twelve-year stint as head of the U.S. Marine Band, including two presidential inauguration balls. Later in life, he formed the Sousa Band and saw active service in World War I. He wrote a total of 137 marches, including Stars and Stripes Forever, which was designated the United States national march in 1987.
