Daily Holidays - April 4

National Cordon Bleu Day This is the day we celebrate a dish that so many of us are familiar with in one incarnation or another, but very few of us have any knowledge of the history of, or even what its name really means! This delicious dish is most basically described as a piece of cheese wrapped in a piece of ham stuffed in a butterflied chicken breast, breaded, and fried. It’s a wonderful combination of flavors and preparation techniques, which has created an iconic dish that always calls back to the restaurants and cafes of Paris. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cordon-bleu-day/

National D.A.R.E Day is the day when local law enforcement officers will traditionally visit schools all over the United States spreading the word about drugs, how to avoid them, why they’re bad for you, and the penalties if you choose to become involved with them. Most Americans will remember the special and particularly snazzy car that would arrive at the school, often times with a K-9 unit in tow, and a variety of items to do a show and tell with. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/d-a-r-e-day/

Vitamin C Day Load up on citrus fruit, berries and green vegetable for Vitamin C Day; boost your immune system, fight off that cold and feel great! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/vitamin-c-day/

World Rat Day Get two things straight right away – rats aren’t dirty, and James Cagney never said it anyway! These are just two of the myths and misconceptions that World Rat Day hopes to dispel as it celebrates the joys of fancy rats. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-rat-day/

If I recall, we used to have several DUers with pet rats. I used to have a pet rat myself. In school, I was a psych major and rescued my lab rat and brought him home with me. He was an extremely smart rat and looked just like this little fellow:
