National Moscow Mule Day is celebrated on March 3 every year. It is the perfect day to pause your busy life and enjoy a refreshing cup of cocktail. Did you know that the date 3-3 (i.e, March 3) symbolizes the cocktail’s three primary ingredients? Yes, it also represents the trifecta responsible for its creation. This quick and iconic drink just needs three ingredients — vodka, lime, and ginger beer — and it is to be served only in copper cups. Let’s learn about the history of this fantastic cocktail that remains popular year-round.
National Soup It Forward Day
National Soup It Forward Day is held annually on March 3 and is an initiative by Soup Sisters. The aim of the day is to bring people together to do something for others. In this case, it is making and sharing soup. Soup Sisters is a non-profit charitable entity that aims to help women, children, and young adults by providing them with soup. Giving soup represents kindness. Soup is a warm meal that is not only nutritious but also a symbol of help and gratitude. Many literary classics depict the giving of hot soups to those in need on a frigid day as a gesture of kindness. Perhaps this is the reason why founder Sharon Hapton decided to name her organization Soup Sisters.
National Grain Free Day
National Grain-Free Day on February 21 is a holiday to recognize and support loved ones with dietary restrictions. Let’s ditch grain and discover exciting new ways to eat for their sake. More people today have to cope with debilitating food allergies and autoimmune disorders. Eating a meal isn’t the same for them any longer. Imagine having to scan restaurant menus only to settle for a side salad. Or forcing a smile during Christmas dinner when all you feel is anything but happy. The possibility of never enjoying a meal again is all too real. But what kind of world would that be? It’s not a world we want to live in — that’s for sure. National Grain-Free Day hopes to inspire families and friends to cook and enjoy grain-free meals together in solidarity.
