We celebrate National Candied Orange Peel Day on May 4 every year. This is a day to celebrate candied orange peel, a sweet that’s been around for centuries. It can be eaten on its own, used as edible decoration, or even used as an ingredient in other sweets. There are many different recipes for candied orange peel but the primary ingredients are sugar, water, and orange peels. The process involves soaking the peel in sugar syrup and then letting it dry off. Candying fruits is a great way to convert them into desserts and preserve them.
Lumpy Rug Day
Take your spring cleaning to the next level with Lumpy Rug Day on May 3. This day holds a few different interpretations. For some, it could be a time to clean or replace those worn-out rugs, while for others, it’s a time to appreciate our old comforting rugs. And for other people, the rug may be metaphorical, and straightening out lumps may mean getting out of the habit of sweeping issues under the proverbial rug. Whatever this day means to you, it’s time to let go of the old and invite in the new.
National Orchid Day
National Orchid Day is held annually on April 16. Do you know orchids are one of the two largest families of flowering plants, with between 21,950 and 26,049 currently accepted species? They are colorful, beautiful, give off good fragrance, and grow in abundance across the world. The day is connected with honoring and cherishing the memory of loved ones, and it is indeed dear to our hearts.
