What Day Is It?

Develop Alternative Vices Day.
You're an adult. One vice is no longer sufficient.

National Odontalgia Day.
Who decided this is something to celebrate?

National Pizza Day.
Pizzas are round, have never had feathers, and are cut into squares, except deep dish, which would be unwieldy.

Read in the Bathtub Day.
Your book gets wet or you drop your tablet. The water gets cold. You become a human prune. Sounds fun.

Hadaka Matsuri -- Inazawa Cho, Japan (thousands of loincloth-wearing men try to touch the closely guarded Shin-otoko [a man chosen, stripped naked, and shaved totally], and it's cold outside. Sounds fun.

First, folding an unwieldy triangle of hot gooey goodness is just plain silly. Second, you pretty much need a knife and fork for real deep dish pizza, which was invented in Chicago at Pizzeria Uno.

Actually, in many parts if Italy, folding and eating out of hand is frowned upon. They use knives and forks. Also, Sicilian pizza is done on sheet pans, and cut square. My very first pizza was that kind, and a nice piece was
15 CENTS! (circa 1955).

Brooklyn style is cut into squares. My favorite type.

I grew up in Midwest (Iowa) so i always ate pizza by hand, one triangle piece at a time, NOT folded. Then I saw New Yorker's on TV/movies fold a slice and thought "Oh that's how they eat it in NYC!"

I went to Chicago as a young man and enjoyed my first real Deep Dish there, that was
in1960s!

Now I find out Brooklyn cuts it into squares! I recall a local pizza place in Dayton OH that served theirs cut into squares. Two of our sons live in Brooklyn and we are visiting them in Spring. Brooklyn pizza is now on my To Do list!

...my pizza education continues.
