Every Dog House Repair Month in July, make it a point to upgrade the dog house built for your four-legged friend! If you don’t have the funds to buy a new dog house, you can even construct one from scratch, or simply add more features to the existing dog house. Yes, this is super important since the summertime can be tough on outdoor dogs, and they need to have a place that can provide them with shade and water. So put your thinking caps on and come up with creative ideas to improve your dog house design. Trust us, your dog will forever be grateful to you!
Sidewalk Egg Frying Day
While there is lots more to be celebrated on July 4, Sidewalk Egg Frying Day makes it onto our list as well, as we bring you the science behind this rather odd-sounding national holiday. The idea behind the holiday is to be more conscious of the benefits of solar energy, so much so that you can fry an egg using it, though be careful not to get fried by the summer sun yourself. And if you were wondering where the name of this holiday came from, yes, it’s from the popular phrase, ‘it’s so hot I could fry an egg on the sidewalk’. In Oatman, Arizona, this phrase is almost taken literally, as every year on the Fourth of July, a Solar Egg Frying Contest is held where participants compete to fry an egg using solar energy in under 15 minutes, using whatever materials/objects they want (including mirrors and magnifying glasses).
National Caesar Salad Day
National Caesar Salad Day occurs on July 4 each year, and just the fact that we have yet another food holiday is enough to get us on board. One of the most universally loved (and known) salads is the Caesar salad, so let’s first have a look at what the salad actually is. A classic or traditional Caesar salad consists of croutons, fresh romaine lettuce, parmesan, and a zippy dressing containing raw egg, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. The best part is that there isn’t a restaurant in the country that does not serve the Caesar salad, or some version of it, especially if that restaurant is an Italian one.
