Daily Holidays - March 10

National Blueberry Popover Day http://thefoodiepatootie.com/recipes/national-blueberry-popover-day/

National Pack Your Lunch Day Let's face it, YOU are a bitchin' rock star from Mars and what better way to prove it than by rockin' a totally bitchin' lunchbox for National Pack a Lunch Day? That's right, it's time to dust off your Knight Rider lunchbox because March 10th is National Pack a Lunch Day!

At this point you may be rolling your eyes at the impossibility of actually waking up on time (let alone early) to pack your lunch. Yes ,you already know why you should pack your lunch- it's economical, more nutritious ( Zebra Cakes and Cheetos aside), and you help the environment, but you may still find it hard to put those two slices of bread and filling together every day. Before you start beating yourself up about it, perhaps you just need a little more motivation. We've got your back! Here are 5 reasons to brown bag it (with a reusable brown bag, of course!)! http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/cleanplatecharlie/2011/03/national_pack_a_lunch_day_5_re.php

International Day of Awesomeness A day for celebrating all things awesome, and everything awesome that you, your friends, and everybody else does.

Land Line Telephone Day

Mario Day In recognition of everyone’s favourite pizza-loving Nintendo character, take part in celebrating Mario Day. First appearing in Donkey Kong in 1981, Mario soon became not only the mascot for computer giant Nintendo, but also a worldwide sensation. The hugely successful Super Mario Bros. series, featuring Mario and his brother Luigi, defined the 1980’s and the 1990’s and Mario himself still remains one of the most adored, world-renowned computer heroes of all time.

So, gather your like-minded, Nintendo-loving friends, don your Mario t-shirts, order in some pizza and get those Nintendo games consoles, Gameboys and DS’s out for a whole day of Mario fun. You could even go one step further and host a Mario House Party! With plenty of ideas, games and activities to choose from, such as fancy dress parties and mushroom stomping competitions, you can be sure to make Mario Day a day to remember. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mario-day/

Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD) is an annual, nationwide observance that sheds light on the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. Every year on March 10, and throughout the month of March, federal, national, and community organizations come together to offer support and hope, reduce stigma, share information, and empower women and girls to learn the importance of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment. This year marks the 10th observance of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.

Today, about one in four people living with HIV in the United States are women 13 or older. Only about half of women living with HIV are getting care, and only four in 10 of them have the virus under control. Women face unique HIV risks and challenges that can prevent them from getting needed care and treatment. Addressing these issues remains critical to achieving an HIV/AIDS-free generation. http://www.womenshealth.gov/NWGHAAD/about/index.html

Rice and beans, these mini potatoes, some soup and some salad.
Second day in a row without eating meat all day.
I usually do Meatless Monday but decided to extend it to Tuesday!
