"Also known as Christmas pudding, National Plum Pudding Day celebrates a traditional holiday dessert. On February 12th, learn about this tasty treat with an interesting history.
Plum pudding is made by steaming or boiling and the pudding is usually served during the holiday season. Interestingly, many of the recipes don’t even contain any plums. One explanation given is that during the 17th century, plums were referred to as raisins or other fruits.
The name Christmas pudding is first recorded in 1858 in a novel by Anthony Trollope.
Plum pudding is usually made up of nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, cinnamon, and dates, along with other ingredients. In England, traditionally every person in the home holds onto the wooden spoon together to help stir the batter. While they are stirring, they also make a wish! Plum pudding has also been known to be called plum duff."
My notes: I never had plum pudding. It's also funny too that it doesn't contain actual plums! lol I couldn't find a plum emoji so I used an apple which is in it.

"Right in the heart of Oscar season, the second Saturday in February celebrates Global Movie Day to honor the way movies have captured audiences’ hearts and minds around the world for over 100 years. Since their inception, movies have transcended geography, language, time, and culture, connecting us all through the power of storytelling.
There are many parts that come together to bring a movie to life. They all play a role in telling the story before the first flicker of light on the screen, before the first note of the musical score plays. Collectively, these elements create magnificent narratives that captivate us time and again."
My notes: 100 years of movies! What movies do you like? I lean towards Sci-Fi, Fantasy ones.

"Each year on the day of the championship game, another kind of pigskin is celebrated. National Pork Rind Day recognizes the fried edible skin of the pig.
A variety of snack producers make these high-protein, no-carb, gluten-free, crunchy snacks. Usually lightly seasoned with a little salt, dieters turn to pork rinds to satisfy their munchies when they are avoiding chips. They also come in several flavors such as barbecue, spicy, cinnamon, and salt & vinegar.
Clever cooks use crushed pork rinds in their recipes. Crushed pork rinds make low-carb breading for meatballs, breaded chicken, meatloaf, and even more."
My notes: I remember I could never get into pork rinds when I was younger. Do you like them?

"Georgia Day, on February 12 every year, is a day specially set aside for the recognition of the colonial founding of the state by James Oglethorpe. Though it is not a public holiday, it was created by Georgia’s General Assembly. This gave the reason for the February 12 date as being “the anniversary of the landing of the first colonists in Georgia under Oglethorpe.” Georgia Day is usually observed in public schools within the state of Georgia. The law establishing Georgia Day was never repealed, but it was excluded in the code upon its official compilation in 1981. The official legal status of the Georgia Day holiday is unclear. It is, however, still observed on or around February 12 at the Georgia Day Parade hosted by the Georgia Historical Society as part of the Georgia History Festival. This is a two-week celebration of the history of Georgia."
My notes: Do you live in GA? Have you visited there? What do you like best?
Even though we've been to FL, I haven't been to GA.

Many moons ago as I was traveling through Georgia, I learned one very important thing. Don't f*** with Georgia cops! Back in my day, I got stopped for speeding and the cop told me I could pay him the fine or go with him to the pokey and pay it there. I paid him.  |

If you could go to any state, which would you want to visit? |
