Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day – This is sort of weird. I don’t want to ask what today’s holiday is all about. I will try to interpret it for you though because that’s my job! Have you ever heard yourself say “My pet is sooo smart!” Well, you’re not the only one. Many people believe their pets talk to them in animal language. That may be true. There were some times I felt like my dog would be trying to talk to me or tell me he had to be taken out. And why wouldn’t it be possible? If you have a close bond with your pet, I’m sure it’s possible for you to understand what your pet is feeling and thinking.

I know it’s a little strange; however, look at your pet today and try to interpret what he’s thinking. I always wondered what my dog would sound like if he had a voice. I love watching those cartoons and movies where animals could talk. I imagine if my dog could talk, he’d have a sweet little boy’s voice who would say “More food! More food! More food!” No, I’m not kidding. My dog is like its owner – we both love food. Enough with the fun stuff. What about the other times when your pet is sick? Your pet can’t express how he’s feeling so check out 1-800-PetMeds. Receive free shipping on orders of $39 or more on Frontline and Advantage pet medication and supplies when you use 1-800-PetMeds coupons.  

National Blonde Brownie Day – Today’s second holiday makes me giggle. I love goofy food names that people come up with. If you’re wondering, a blonde brownie is the opposite of a brownie. It is made with light brown sugar, white chocolate and other light ingredients as opposed to dark chocolate that is traditionally found in a brownie. I’ve expressed my dislike towards anything that doesn’t contain real chocolate in it. However, blonde brownies are delicious. I especially like ‘em served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream or BOTH! MmM. One of my favorite restaurants makes the best blonde brownie except everyone calls it a white chocolate brownie.

I just realized this is the first dessert holiday we’ve celebrated since the holidays. Remember day after day it was some type of food holiday, and by the end of it, you wanted to pull your hair out? Well, not this month folks! We gave you a good three weeks free of sweets so today is the day to indulge a little by seeing what Davids Cookies has baking in the oven. Save $10 on cookie brownie cakes, brownie bars and brownie dessert trays on orders of $79 or more plus flat rate shipping when you use Davids Cookies coupons.

January 22nd – It was on this day in history in 1964 that the world’s largest cheese at 15,723 kg was manufactured in Wisconsin. That’s a lot of cheese! I can go on and list all the great things I’d make with that much cheese. There’s omelets and cheese sticks and quiche, oh my! Pizza and cheese bread and sauce, oh my! Okay I’ll stop now. Cheese can be used to add delicious flavor to food. I’m known to sprinkle a pound or two of parmesan cheese on my spaghetti. And as a child, I was caught on numerous occasions eating grated cheese by the spoonfuls. Ya, I’m a big cheesy cheese lover.

1971 – John & Yoko Record Power to the People – They always put songs out there to promote peace. I love the song Give Peace a Chance. They were probably one of the greatest couples in history.

Or, if you’re musically talented, record yourself. Find a place in your home where you can set up some recording equipment and make history.
