The “Duchess” Who Wasn’t Day - Today we’re celebrating Irish romantic fiction author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford. I’m sure by first name you don’t have a clue who I’m talking about. Well, take a look at today’s holiday. Margaret was “The Duchess.” It was her pen name, of course! She made the line ”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” famous. She was quite a mysterious woman. I mean, you’d think she was wanted by police since she never published her books under her real name. Her first books were published anonymously, then under the name “Mrs. Hungerford” and then later under ”The Duchess.” I can’t really judge her for having a code name. Look at me! I hope you didn’t think my real name was “Stars.” Maybe you can create your own pseudonym today (if you don’t already have one). Check out Expressionery.com and send out holiday cards to friends and family and sign your pseudonym instead of your real name. They’ll be clueless for years!

Banana Lover’s Day - Besides how delicious bananas taste in dessert dishes, they’re an amazing source of potassium. Yawnnn, boring! Don’t get me wrong, bananas taste good on their own; however, you’re talking to the sweet tooth master, so in my opinion, the fruit needs some jazzing up! You should celebrate today by eating all sorts of banana desserts. Like what, you wonder? Well, start with a slice of banana bread for your morning snack, then after lunch, indulge in banana pudding or a banana parfait…MmMmM. That was the “healthy” part. At night you might want to get a little wilder…banana wild. How does baked bananas sound? Orrrrrrrrr, a banana milkshake. OH MY! It’s so good it should be a crime. If you want to make any of these easy and yummy banana desserts, then get yourself a blender, mixer or masher from Cooking.com.
