National Boston Cream Pie Day The Pie that is actually a cake was made in the Parker House Hotel in Boston by Chef M. Sanzian way back in 1856. Originally this American-French Chef called the cake the “Parker House Chocolate Cream Pie” and had taken the French Butter sponge cake and filled it with a delightful Crème pâtissière, an egg-thickened custard with a history going back at least as far as Ancient Rome, brushed it with rum syrup and topped with a chocolate fondant. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/boston-cream-pie-day/

iPod Day The year is 2001, the portable electronics industry is booming, and the CD player is the hottest personal musical device around. Little did they know that the music world was about to be rocked to its core by a quiet computer company that’s set on changing everything. Enter the iPod, a compact and durable device capable of holding the entire contents of most peoples CD collections. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/ipod-day/

National Mole Day is celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m. It celebrates Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 1023), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry, and schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mole-day/

Mother in Law Day How to celebrate Mother-In-Law Day. Start simple, give your mother-in-law a call and sincerely ask how she’s doing. Mother-In-Law Day is about diving into the lions mouth and acknowledging that they aren’t all bad. Or, if they are, letting them know exactly how bad they really are. Never underestimate the value of a good roasting when you have someone like a mother-in-law who either doesn’t like you, or doesn’t know that sometimes you have to let folks work things out for themselves. On the other hand, if you have a wonderful mother-in-law be sure to spend some time telling her how much you appreciate her, which is good advice even if you don’t like her and think she’s more than a little annoying. Mother-In-Law Day is sometimes about making your partners life a little easier by appeasing the great villain. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mother-in-law-day/

I should be ashamed since my minor in college was chemistry.
