February 7, 2015 – NATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY – NATIONAL SEND A CARD TO A FRIEND DAY

 

                               NATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY

DO YOU LOVE PASTA?  Here is a day for you!   February 7th is the day National Fettuccine Alfredo Day is celebrated.
Alfredo di Lelio, and Italian restaurateur, created  Fettuccine Alfredo in 1914.  After his wife gave birth to their first son that year, she did not have an appetite.  To help encourage her to eat, he created a dish of noodles, cheese and butter.   She liked the dish so much that she thought he should put it on the menu at his small restaurant in Rome.  Everyone around the world has been enjoying this dish ever since.  Today it is one of the most popular pasta dishes in America.
You can enjoy this delicious pasta at a favorite restaurant or you may want to  find a recipe searching the web or in a cookbook and cook up a dish of your own.  Either way, enjoy it!

We have learned the history of Fettuccine Alfredo however research of this “unofficial” National holiday has failed to find the creator of this day.

NATIONAL SEND A CARD TO A FRIEND DAY

We often think about our friends.  We wonder how they are.  We miss them and smile to ourselves thinking of  fond memories that were shared.  Always celebrated on February 7th, National Send A Card To A Friend Day is the day to send our friends a card and let them know that you are thinking of them!
It is always a nice surprise to receive a card from a friend.
We all lead busy lives and time slips away from us so February 27th, stop and send a card to your friends.   With the technology we have,we can also send E-cards.  You can buy cards at a store or you can make them yourself.   Whichever way you choose, set aside a few minutes to write a short note or a long note in a card and send one to make a friend’s day!
