Daily Holidays - April 27

[Sherman A1]

National Prime Rib Day is a feast day in honour of this classic cut of the finest beef. Although little appears to be known about the origins of Prime Rib Day, it is best celebrated with great enthusiasm, with family and friends gathering to enjoy the occasion. Many restaurants also provide special menus in celebration. Prime rib, also known as ‘standing rib roast’ is located between the eighth and twelfth rib, on the upper back of the cattle. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/prime-rib-day/

Administrative Professionals Day Where would we be without the secretaries of the world? Spare a thought to all of the paperwork that would never be done, the phone calls that would never be taken and the secretary jokes that would never have been invented and raise a glass to Administrative Professionals Day, the day when administrative professionals the world over can be celebrated in just one day for all the hard work they do all year! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/administrative-professionals-day/

Morse Code Day We’ve heard the sound in movies both old and new, it finds its way into horror movies as some lost mysterious code. Heroes in action flicks use it to help send out secret messages past the villains holding them captive, and secret lovers have passed messages using it in carefully constructed pieces of art or even brail. It served as the foundation for a new era of communication, and has served vital roles in wars old and new. What is it we’re talking about? Morse Code of course! Morse Code Day celebrates this amazingly concise, powerful, and influential way of transmitting information and the history of how it changed the world. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/morse-code-day/

World Stationary Day What with all of the emails and text messages all around us these days, it may seem that the art of writing letters and cards is slowly fading into oblivion. After all, who wants to wait days if not weeks to get some hard-to-read words scribbled down on a piece of paper when it would be so much easier to just read an email? But sending and receiving letters is about so much more that that. It’s about someone taking the extra time and effort to actually write words down and then making that despised trip to the post office to wait in a long line to finally send it off. It’s about someone deciding to go into all that effort and spend a few cents on postage just to make their message personal. And that’s what World Stationery Day is about: preserving the art of writing letters and cards, as opposed to just sending those we care about pictures of letters that cannot truly be touched on a screen. If that’s not an honourable cause, what is? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-stationery-day/

1. I love prime rib. Yum.

[MissMillie]

4. The last time I made it, it came out great.

That was a Christmas. It really was a wonderful meal.

It's our Christmas tradition. Ham and/or lamb at Easter. Prime rib at Christmas, and of course turkey at Thanksgiving.

I suppose I could come up with something for Mother's Day, but I think that should change every year, according to the whim of the particular mother.

5. MMMM...now I am really hungry.

3. "World Stationary Day?"

I do believe it's "Stationery," Shermy. (And while I'm being a grammar Nazi, "cattle" is a plural; the cow, many cattle).
