National All is Ours Day (I had to look this one up & here’s what I found)
“Observed each year on April 8th, National All Is Ours Day takes us along three views of appreciation. Either celebrate both approaches to the day or pick the one that best suits you.
The first approach to the day can be looked at as a time to reflect on all of the beauty of nature and all the wonderful things in life. Rarely do we have the time to explore all that nature offers us. Something as simple as the variety of birds that inhabit a local park or backyard can surprise us.
The second way to celebrate the day is by appreciating everything we have. Even when we don’t have much, what we do have is a blessing.
A third way to view the day is by sharing all that we have. Regardless of what we have, sharing it seems to make tough times easier when we all work together. The greatest times and the greatest things in life are those that are shared."
And it is also National Empanada Day. I had to look that up too.“National Empanada Day recognizes a delicious pastry that comes in several different forms.
Empanadas are made by folding the dough or bread around a seasoned stuffing. The stuffed dough is then baked or fried. Very much like hand pies, these delicious pastries offer a variety of choices. You can make your empanadas with meat, cheese, vegetables or fruit fillings.
Different parts of the United States make them with their own style and flavors. In the Southern and Southwestern United States they fill the half-circle flaky crust with seasoned pork, beef or chiicken, and cheese.
In the Southeastern part of they are A little more on the sweeter side. They fill these pastries with fresh or reconstiauted dry fruit. Some choicesinclude apples, apricots, peaches sweet potatoes. Once fried, the pies have a crispy outer shell with piping hot fruit inside."
