Likely invented in Mexico during the 19th century or perhaps earlier, the first known recipe for queso is recorded from 1896, which came out in an American magazine called The Land of Sunshine.

The dish was originally called chiles verdes con queso, which translates to “green chilis with cheese”. The recipe was categorized as Mexican Food and was originally more focused on the chilis than it was on the cheese.

Now, queso is all about the cheese! In fact, the word queso literally means “cheese” in Spanish, but when English speakers refer to queso, they usually mean the appetizer dip called “chili con queso”. This dip is made of melted cheese and chili peppers and is often served with tortilla chips.

National Queso Day is the ideal time to give cheers for this simple and delightful little snack that is now well-loved all around the world.

Being part of a stepfamily can be really challenging, you’re coming into a place with people that weren’t part of your family before, and suddenly they’re uncles, sisters, brothers, even parents to you.

How confusing must it be for people who yesterday weren’t related at all to suddenly be considered your siblings? That being said, growing up with a Stepfamily can be really rewarding, especially when everybody works together to overcome the challenges and create an amazing blended family.

To make things even more difficult, if you’re part of a Stepfamily, it almost certainly means that you’ve recently had to deal with going through a divorce. This brings up all sorts of challenges, jealousy amongst siblings and birth parents, and the hostilities that doubtless led to the end of the previous marriage.

These certainly aren’t part of everyone’s experience, and in fact they don’t have to be the experience that you have. Stepfamilies come together every day that are strong and act like an extended family rather than a divided one.

National Stepfamily Day is dedicated to appreciating those who have joined your family, and educating yourself on the challenges you face so you can overcome them together.

The inaugural R U OK? Day was held in 2009, the same year that the R U OK? organization was formed in Australia through founder Gavin Larkin. Larkin understands first hand the impact mental health issues can have on a family, as his father died by su***de in 1996. More than a decade later, Larkin felt compelled to work to help others, promoting mental health initiatives and establishing the slogan behind the day: “R U OK? – a conversation can change a life.”

Listed as a Harm Prevention Charity, R U OK? works in collaboration with many different mental health professionals including those who specific to su***de prevention, as well as government agencies, corporate leaders, educational institutions, community groups, student groups and many more.

The concept behind R U OK? Day is simple, revolving around the idea that more people can be checking in with others, especially related to their mental health. The notion is that connection within communities can make a huge impact on the lives of all of the people in it, particularly those who are at risk. In addition, R U OK? Day offers resources to help folks access tools that can be used in workplaces, schools, with friends and so much more.

To understand the history of National Teddy Bear Day, we need to roll back the clock to something that happened more than 100 years ago.

In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt was the President of the United States. During this year, he refused to shoot a bear cub while he was in Mississippi hunting.

The incident spread around the country via the national news. There was even a cartoon of the event that was published in the Washington Post by Clifford Berryman on the 16th of November in 1902. It became a classic right away.

Morris Michtom, a store owner in New York, was inspired by the cartoon and he decided to create a new toy. He then sent a letter to the President, asking Mr. Roosevelt if it would be possible for the new toy to be called “Teddy Bear.” The rest, as they say, was history.

Since then, there have been a lot of famous teddy bear characters, and this toy has become loved by children all over the world. No matter their upbringing, culture, or any other differences, one thing that all children can agree with is that there is nothing quite like the comfort and friendship that a teddy bear provides.

We have since seen the famous teddy bears from Briton, like Paddington and Winnie-the-Pooh. You also have the famous Care Bears series.

Bacon is a beloved meat that has taken its place at the breakfast table for many years. But, honestly, bacon can truly be eaten at any time of the day, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Dating back a few thousand years to the time when folks in Ancient China would preserve their pork bellies with salt, the origins of bacon have spanned throughout many cultures. From China to Ancient Rome and Greece, and eventually making its way up to Germany, France and England, bacon has made its impact on various cultures and people groups in different ways.

International Bacon Day has a background that can be traced back a couple of decades, but the stories vary just a bit. Some accounts say that the day was founded in 2004 by a group of graduate students from Colorado University (CU) in Boulder, while others say it goes back a bit further, to the year 2000 when some residents from Bradford, Massachusetts.

Humans have probably been eating outside ever since time and history began. But even after people started having homes indoors, the idea of dining outside had its place. During Medieval Times, for practical reasons people would pack foods and take them along with them on hunting parties.

During the 17th century, b**r gardens were created in Bavaria, which is now Germany. It is likely that picnics later became popular in the United States some time in the 18th century when settlers would host parties in their private “pleasure gardens”. The idea would eventually grow into something that average people would enjoy in a local park, forest or green space.

Some researchers believe that one version of outdoor dining in the United States may have started in Coney Island, New York. The park’s first roller coaster was introduced in 1884 and people loved spending time outside, so restaurateur Charles Feltman wedged a sausage between bread for people to eat on the go. Thus, one of the easiest and most popular foods to eat outside, the hot dog, was born.

And National Eat Outside Day is here to celebrate all of the fun!

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, marked on August 28th each year, is a heartfelt tribute to pets that have passed away.

This special day got its start thanks to a woman named Deborah Barnes. She felt a deep loss when her cat, Mr. Jazz, left this world on August 28, 2013.

Moved by her grief, she wrote a book called “Purr Prints of the Heart – A Cat’s Tale Of Life, Death and Beyond” to process her feelings. The book’s warm and widespread reception inspired her to establish a day for everyone to honor their late pets.

This day isn’t just about remembering; it’s a time for healing and celebrating the joy our furry, feathered, or even scaly friends brought into our lives.

The Rainbow Bridge imagines a place where our departed pets wait for us, free from pain and suffering. Today, people across the globe take a moment to remember the pets that have impacted their lives, from dogs and cats to hamsters and snakes.
