Our favourite of the popped food holidays
Today is National Popcorn Day! Don’t you love how there are designated days for everything? So, what are you going to do about it? Popcorn.org has a list of suggested activities, but it’s a bit too blustery outside for us to want to hang a popcorn string around a tree for the birds. We’re going to pop a whole lot of popcorn on the stove and cozy up with a movie. Maybe we’ll mix up a few toppings, but we’re kinda feeling the classic butter and salt today.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of the Mexican army over the French in 1862. What was once a regional celebration in Mexico has evolved into a much more widely known and celebrated event in the US and Canada. For many, its simply an excuse to indulge in excessive consumption of margaritas and nachos.
On that note, allow us to share with you some great ideas on how to celebrate this event with your family.
