SUMMARY:Rid the World of Fad Diets & Gimmicks Day
DESCRIPTION:What is Rid the World of Fad Diets and Gimmicks Day? Rid the World of Fad Diets and Gimmicks Day is celebrated on the third Tuesday of January each year in the U.S. to widely promote proper weight management by exercising and eating healthy food. \nIn the mid-1800s\, the ideal masculine and feminine beauty gravitated toward thinness. Overweight romantics got the short end of the fashion stick as clothing became form-fitting for both sexes.From 1850 to 1920\, women’s dresses required a tiny laced-in waist. Men wore tights or breeches with tight-fitting jackets until close to the end of the 19th century when the vogue switched to looser pants. Being overweight was such a social handicap at the time that a book published in 1881 even suggested that governments arrest and imprison overweight people.

SUMMARY:National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day
DESCRIPTION:Pastrami lovers across the country look forward to their favorite sandwich on January 14th as they recognize National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day. \nPopular delicatessen meat\, pastrami is usually made from beef. Others make their pastrami sandwich with pork\, mutton\, or turkey. Before refrigeration\, butchers originally created pastrami as a way to preserve meat. To make pastrami\, they placed the raw meat in brine. Then they partially dried it and seasoned it with various herbs and spices to be smoked and steamed. A wave of Romanian Jewish immigration introduced pastrami (pronounced pastróme)\, a Romanian specialty\, in the second half of the 19th century. Early English references used the spelling “pastrama” before the modified “pastrami” spelling was used. New York kosher butcher\, Sussman Volk earns credit for producing the first pastrami sandwich in 1887. He claimed to have gotten the recipe from a Romanian friend in exchange for storing his luggage. Due to the popularity of his sandwich\, Volk converted his butcher shop into a restaurant to sell pastrami sandwiches.

SUMMARY:National Tempura Day
DESCRIPTION:On January 7th\, National Tempura Day encourages us to celebrate with a dish made with a tempura batter.

SUMMARY:Apple Tree Day
DESCRIPTION:Apple Tree Day started off as a celebration of an old apple tree\, which had been around for two centuries. As time went on\, this day morphed into a celebration of the fruit itself. \nOriginating in Central Asia\, apples then made their way to Europe where they grew for many years before European colonists brought them over to North America during the 17th century. It is possible that apple trees are the oldest tree to have been cultivated.

SUMMARY:National Whipped Cream Day
DESCRIPTION:This holiday falls on Reddi-Wip founder Aaron “Bunny” Lapin’s birthday (January 5\, 1914 – July 10\, 1999). Lapin invented Reddi-Wip in 1948\, and the holiday celebrates whipped cream’s contributions to the dessert world. \nThe earliest known literary references to whipped cream seem to date back to 1629 in France (crème fouettée) and 1673 in England.
